The voting came after ex plosions ripped through the capital and sabotage knocked out power to much of the nation. Early turnout was moderate, with no long lines at polling places in the capital. There were some organiza tional difficulties, including late de livery of ballot boxes to some voting stations and arguments over the placement of party observers at ta bles where registrations were checked. The entire capital was without announces Family Buffet Saturday and Sunday 11:30 am-2:30 pm apn electricity after lef tist guerrillas blew up transmission towers outside the city. The outage meant that virtually no one in the city had running wa ter, as the state-owned utility’s pumps run on electricity. The outage knocked almost all ra dio stations off the air. Only the army’s Radio Cuscatlan, which has a powerful generator, was broadcast ing news. Telephone calls to local radio re porters around the country showed that guerrillas had knocked out power in 11 of El Salvador’s 14 prov inces. A half-dozen explosions were heard late Saturday and early Sun day in and around the capital. Guer rillas of the Farabundo Marti Na tional Liberation Front had vowed to step up sabotage attempts to demon strate their “repudiation” of the vote. The rebels, engaged in an 8-year- old war with the U.S.-backed gov ernment, considered the vote a farce and called for a boycott. The destruction of transmission towers and high-tension lines fol lowed the explosion Friday night of a car bomb in the affluent neighbor hood of Escalon. One person was in jured. At stake were all 60 seats in the National Assembly legislature. Vot ers also elected mayors and munici pal councils in all the 262 cities and towns nationwide. It was the fifth time since a 1979 coup by reform-minded officers that voters were casting ballots. The last election was in 1985. | All You Can Eat includes 4 different entrees, dessert, salad.
