An Argentine court sentenced 13 leftist guerrillas to life imprisonment for a bloody attack on an army barracks in which 39 people were killed in January. The court found 11 men and two women guilty of murder, kidnaping and other crimes during the 36-hour occupation of the La Tablada army base, 16 miles west of Buenos Aires. Seven others, among them a 64-year-old Capuchin friar, were sentenced to 10 to 20 years for being accomplices to the 50 guerrillas who overran buildings at the base.
