CRESPANO DEL GRAPPA, Ita
ly — Identical twins, 18, who were
about to be committed to a mental
hospital committed suicide together
by jumping off a bridge hand-in-
hand, police say.
Police said Andrea Camerini
broke free from the grip of ambu
lance drivers who had come to take
him and his brother David to the
hospital and ran to a bridge that had
been closed for repairs.
David ran after his brother and the
two climbed a scaffolding workmen
had been using to repair the bridge s
beams.
The twins mother and the ambu
lance drivers pleaded with them to
come down but they clasped hands
and jumped together to their death
on sharp rocks 50 yards below.
They were pronounced dead at
the scene.

Grammar school children were
among those arrested during bloody
anti-Soviet rioting in the streets of
the Afghan capital of Kabul, Radio
Kabul said Wednesday.
Travelers arriving in New Delhi,
India, from Kabul said the children,
many of them as young as 7 and 8
years old, battled Soviet armored
vehicles with bottles and rocks.
Radio Kabul, which called chil
dren “treasures of the nation,” said
they had joined the anti-Soviet riot
ing because they were misled by
foreign propaganda.
The broadcast, monitored in New
Delhi, said parents of arrested chil
dren could pick them up near the
prime minister’s officer in Kabul.
The travelers said the Soviet-
backed government in Kabul
showed signs Wednesday of regain
ing control in the capital with the
help of a reinforced military pre
sence. Afghan soldiers at Kabul Air
port were seen armed with new AK-
47 automatic rifles.
Afghan troops backed by members
of the Soviet invasion force Tuesday
rounded up minority Shiite Moslems
suspected of leading the bloody re
volt in the mile-high city, other
travelers said.
A spokesman for the Islamic Front
said in Peshawar, Pakistan, up to 60
people were killed and 500 wounded
in a bomb and rocket attack by Soviet
helicopter gunships on a village on
the outskirts of the eastern city of
Jalalabad, also a scene of anti-
Russian protests.
The rebel spokesman, whose
claims could not be independently
confirmed, said merchants in Jalala
bad shuttered their shops in defiance
of government warnings their pre
mises would be seized unless they
were opened.
The rebels, who did not say when
the attack on the village occurred,
said an unknown number of women
and children also were killed in fight
ing in northeastern provinces.
An estimated 500 civilians have
been killed and thousands of others
injured in the bloody anti-Soviet
protests in Kabul, which began last
Thursday, diplomats said.
The reports reaching New Delhi
said besides the mass arrests of sus
pected leaders of the demonstra
tions, the Soviet forces and loyal
Afghan troops have sealed off parts of
Kabul.

MANILA, Philippines — A China

burst into flames landing at Manila
Airport Wednesday.
Thirty-five people were reported

About 30 others were rescued

Most of the passengers were
Chinese tourists. There were also at

Major Claudio Estallilio of the

two explosions occurred just before
the aircraft caught fire.
“As I rushed out of my office, I saw
the engine rolling down the tarmac.
The wings of the aircraft had been
broken and fire started as the plane
was coming to a stop, ” Estallilio said.
