  Montoneros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In May 1974, the Montoneros were expelled from the Justicialist movement by Perón.

The Montoneros suffered heavy losses, out of around 7000 active supporters 1600 were killed in 1976 and the rest forced to scatter.

In the 60's and 70's there was mounting violence in Argentina, as the principal guerilla group, the Montoneros (a leftist faction of peronism), employed tactics of terrorism, bombing banks, public buildings, military sights, and police stations, and killing police officers and military officials (p.121).
However, the dictatorship exaggerated the threat of the Montoneros, and justified many disappearances as fatalities in 'battle' (p.122).
The military pursued the 'internal enemy.' General Ibérico Saint Jean, who became governor of the province of Buenos Aires, explained this military tactic, "First we must kill the subversives, then their sympathizers; then those who are indifferent; and finally, we must kill all those who are timid," (p.124).
