Stands collapse at bullfight —160 dead
United Press International
BOGOTA, Colombia — Police
Monday reported that at least 160
people were killed and 155 injured in
the collapse of a wooden stadium at
an amateur bullfight. Press reports
said the death toll could reach 300.
“There are many bodies that have
not been identified or counted, de
spite the unstinting work of the res
cue teams,” Todelar Radio news
director Jorge Pulido reported from
the coastal town of Sincelejo in Sucre
state.
Many of the dead, including num
erous children, were trampled Sun
day when spectators panicked, turn
ing a colorful folk festival into a
tragedy. One report said the stands
collapsed because the crowd surged
to the rear to escape a torrential rain.
Rain also apparently weakened
the foundation of the wooden stands,
authorities aid.
The collapse occurred at the
height of the annual Sincelejo Fes
tival when the city, 370 miles north
of Bogota, swells to double its normal
50,000 population with an influx of
tourists and festival goers.
More than 1,500 excited specta
tors were jammed into the ramshack
le triple-deck wooden stands to
watch dozens of “spontaneous bull
fighters from the crowd wave hand

Two settlements approved
in the West Bank of Jordan
United Press International
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel has
approved the establishment of two
more Jewish settlements in the occu
pied West Bank of Jordan, the gov
ernment secretary said Monday.
They will bring to 53 the number
of settlements built in the West Bank
since Israel captured the area from
Jordan in the 1967 war.
Cabinet Secretary Ay re Naor said
the government gave final approval
Sunday to the plans drawn up by the
World Zionist Organizations for the
two settlements, named Levona and
Mitzpe Givon.
Mitzpe Givon, authorized in
October, will be built on 100 acres
owned by Jews since before 1948,
Naor said.
The decision was made as the Un
ited States was preoccupied with
events in Afghanistan and Iran. The
United States and Egypt have

opposed Jewish settlement of the
occupied territories on grounds it is
an obstacle to peace and illegal under
international law.
Levona is to be built near the Arab
village of Beit Rima, and is designed
to be a bedroom community for em
ployes of Israel Aircraft Industries,
the reports said.
Mitzpe Givon is to be built about
nine miles northwest of Jerusalem.
Jewis settlers have established a
camp on the site to prevent Arabs
firxm claiming it by planting crops
there, the reports said.
Lloyd’s must pay off NBC
ifU.S. boycotts Olympics
United Press International
LONDON — Lloyd’s of London
could be hit with an insurance claim
for more than $80 million if the Un
ited States boycotts the Moscow
Olympics, the London Daily Tele
graph said Monday.
The paper said NBC took out in
surance policies totaling that sum to
protect its $87 million fee to the Rus
sians for televising the summer
games.
"With no athletes from the United
States competing in Moscow, Amer
ican television’s interest in live cov
erage of this year’s games falls to
almost zero, the newspaper said.
It said NBC’s main policy with
Lloyd’s, with a premium of about
$2.25 million, covers 85 percent of
all money paid to the Russian Olym
pic authorities in the event there is
no American participation.
Related policies cover other con-
tingincies, it said.

released at the same time into the
ring.
Any spectator is welcome to join
the free-for-all known as a “corraleja”
which is patterned after the running
of the bulls at the Festival of San
Fermin in Pamplona, Spain.
The second bullfight of the day
was under way at 4:05 p.m. when a
100-yard stretch of the stands gave
way. Radio Todelar reported.
“The stands collapsed in slow mo
tion,” Radio Todelar said. “Some of
them fell forward into the ring,
others collapsed to the rear or
seemed to sag straight downward of
their own weight.
“People screamed in panic. Some
were injured when they leaped from
the upper level about 22 feet high,”
the report said.
Scores of people beneath and be
hind the stands were trapped when
the wooden beams fell on them.
Panic’stricken people searched for
family and loved ones in the wreck
age or at hospitals.
Gov. Hermes Perez issued an
appeal for relatives to stay away from
the Sincelejo Hospital because
crowds were impeding the work of
medical teams.
Because of the hysteria, he
ordered a ban on liquor sales
throughout Sucre State.
The governor blamed the tragedy
on a lack of control and the number of
spectators allowed into the stands.
