INTERNATO
THE BATTAL
U.S. cultural center attacked in Indi
Islamic militant group based in Pakistan claims responsibili
TH
CALCUTTA, India (AP) — Indian offi
cials said Tuesday an Islamic militant
group based in Pakistan claimed responsi
bility for an attack at a U.S. cultural center
in Calcutta that killed four Indian police
men and wounded 20 other people.
Both Pakistan and a representative of the
group disputed India’s claim, and American
officials played down suggestions the attack
was terrorism directed at the United States.
Since a deadly attack on Parliament in
New Delhi on Dec. 13, both India and
Pakistan have massed troops at their border.
Pakistan offered Tuesday to ease its war
footing if India first starts moving soldiers
away from the border, but there was no
immediate response from New Delhi.
Indian officials also blamed the attack on
Parliament on Pakistan-based militants.
The rivals have fought two wars over the
divided province of Kashmir, which both
claim in its entirety. India accuses Pakistan
of supporting Islamic militants fighting for
independence in the province. Islamabad
denies it, and accuses mainly Hindu India
of oppressing Muslims in Kashmir.
At about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, four gunmen
on motorcycles drove up to the U.S. govern
ment cultural center in Calcutta and opened
fire, killing four police officers and wound
ing 18 officers, a pedestrian and a private
security guard, state Home Secretary Amit
Kiran Deb said. No Americans were hurt.
The assailants fled.
The American Center houses a library,
the embassy’s public affairs office, a press
section and a wing for cultural programs.
The center was closed Tuesday. Spent AK-

Palestinian gunman wounds 8 in Jerusalem
JERUSALEM (AP) — A gunman
opened fire with an assault rifle on Israelis
waiting for a bus on a busy, rain-slick down
town street Tuesday afternoon, wounding
eight people before he was shot dead by
police, officials said.
Palestinian security sources, speaking
on condition of anonymity, said the gun
man was Saeed Ramadan, a member of the
Al Aqsa Brigades, which is linked to
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah
movement.
Ramadan’s uncle, Adnan Ramadan, mayor
of the West Bank village of Tel. confirmed his
nephew was the gunman and said he was a
member of the naval police.
Israeli authorities said they held Arafat
and the Palestinian Authority ultimately
responsible and a strong Israel response
was likely.
“We are witnessing a continuous and
endless campaign of terror against Israeli
civilians, perpetrated by different
Palestinian terrorist organizations under
the umbrella of the Palestinian Authority,”
said Israeli government spokesman Avi
Pazner.
A source in the Al Aqsa Brigades said
the attack was revenge for the killing —
widely attributed to Israel — of the group’*
leader. Raed Karmi, in the West Bank towr
of Tulkarem.
The shooting came hours after Israel
commandos killed four members of th<
militant Islamic group Hamas in a raid 01
their hideout and explosives lab in Nablu
in the West Bank. The Islamic militan
group said in a leaflet it would respotr
