Not to forget fratricidal intra-left assasinations like Joaquin Villalobos of the FMLN killing communist poet Roque Dalton as a supposed CIA agent in '75.

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/article-preview?article_id=6620 by the late Murray Kempton. The Dissent piece by G. Zaid is on the Dalton hit. Some credulous CISPES members in Santa Cruz in the mid-80's were reduced to sputtering standard issue Stalinoid invective when queried about Dalton's killing.

"By Murray Kempton

The public enlightenment about El Salvador would be signally served by the current issue of Dissent if the enlightenment afforded by an organ with a circulation of less than 6,500 could realistically be called public...)

Or (putting left in quotes, though I betcha I could find statements from "anti-imperialists" hailing it at the time) the Abu Nidal org. killing Palestinian negotiator Issam Sartawi at a Congress of the SI in '83.
