    Background: The FALN (Armed Forces for National Liberation) of Venezuela staged another raid on an oil field Friday (6 November), attacking one of the installations of the Mene Grande Oil Company at El Tigre, in Anzoategui State. The raiders blew up a pump station, and mangled numerous pipe lines.

    The financial loss was estimated at about a million dollars, in addition to the loss of some 250,000 barrels of oil.

    The film shows the damaged pipe lines, valves and pumping equipment, and workmen preparing to restore the equipment.

    The FALN has been accused of terrorist activities in Venezuela, where numerous acts of sabotage have been attributed to it.
