United Front for Revolutionary Action


The United Front for Revolutionary Action was a short-lived militant organization which was the paramilitary wing of the Communist Party of El Salvador from 1962 to 1964. The organization, which was led by Schafik Hándal, did not carry out any militant activities. A combination of targeting by the Nationalist Democratic Organization on orders of President Julio Adalberto Rivera Carballo and Communist Party General-Secretary Cayetano Carpio's decision to abolish the group led to the group's disestablishment in 1964.
