The guerrilla attack happened Wednesday night after Fujimori in his first public speech since the crackdown said his measures were needed to "restore democracy" in what he called an "ungovernable country."

Deputy Transport Minister Georges Sarre advised the public to skip the grand opening of the $4 billion theme park east of Paris. "The park is there to stay," Sarre said. "I recommend going there after the Easter holidays." He and the Paris police chief, Pierre Verbrugghe, said a government survey indicated up to 90,000 vehicles would head for the park Sunday, even though parking is available for only 11,500 cars and 500 buses.

Once the parking lots are full, police will turn back vehicles, Verbrugghe said. "Those who start out after 9 a.m. (the opening time) have practically no chance of reaching the park," said the National Center for Highway Information. "Those who leave early and get to enjoy the park will run into unprecedented difficulties on the trip back." Congestion on the only freeway from Paris to the park, Auto-route A4, was expected to be heavy under any circumstances Sunday, but it will be even worse if conductors on the commuter rail line serving Euro Disneyland follow through with a planned strike. Police said about 1,000 officers will be deployed to deal with traffic along the 18-mile route 1 Rcert Abbey.
