Guerillas, guards battle in Nicaragua city streets
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)—Battles raged between national guardians and leftist guerrillas in Managua and other Nicaraguan cities yesterday as rebels stepped up their fight to overthrow President Anastasio Somoza.
Red Cross officials said at least 20 persons were killed and 100 wounded in fighting in Manguana and five other cities that began Saturday night and continued yesterday. They reported there were eight known casualties to those persons wounded in fighting in the capital.
Government sources, who asked not to be identified, said it appeared the fighting was a coordinated offensive launched by the Sandinista National Liberation Front.

UNCONFIRMED reports said three square blocks were ablaze in Leen, a city of about 40,000 residents 60 miles northwest of Managua. The guerrillas also reportedly besieged the local outpost of the guard, which is Nicaragua's army.
The Red Cross office here said it had reports from Leon that fire and rescue units were unable to enter the area to evacuate wounded and dead or to fight the fires.
Heavy gunfire was reported yesterday morning in Leon, Masaya, Chinandega, Grenada and Estrali. Sparadic shooting was observed on the ground, took on the appearance of an armed camel.
NATIONAL GUARD troops erected steel barricades near their training center in downtown Managua, where Somoza lives and works. The well-guarded compound called the bunker.
Combows of heavily-armed guardsmen patrolled city streets and troops carrying Israeli-made Galli automatic rifles guarded the streets, allowing all passing vehicles and their passengers.
The violence and a nationwide strike are aimed at pressuring Somoa, whose family

has ruled this Central American nation since the 1930s, to resign.
The current outbreak was triggered last month when Sandistin guerrillas took over the National Palace and host heloses there. They demanded and got a $500,000 ransom and safe passage to Panama for themselves and political prisoners.
THE NATIONAL guard said guerrilla
buses in the capital Saturday night.
Unofficial reports said more than a dozen police stations were attacked.
The reports said guerrillas captured some stations then withdrew after setting them down.
