SUBJECT: GUATEMALA: INFORMATION ON U.S. MANUFACTURED 
LANDMINES 
 
REF: STATE 200879 
 
Per Reftel Action Request, PolOff called on local OAS 
Demining office to seek information on current landmine 
clearance operations.  OAS representative Guillermo Pacheco 
reported that current operations deal almost entirely with 
unexploded ordnance, with few, if any, landmines being 
recovered.  Pacheco added that U.S. manufactured mines were 
not encountered during past operations as most mines used by 
the guerrillas were of "homemade" manufacture, and goverment 
access to U.S. mines was restricted due to conflict-era bans 
on U.S. military assistance to Guatemala.
