Bomb’s blast kills 11, injures 61
at ceremony for war casualties
Vol.
ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ire
land (AP) — A bomb killed 11 peo
ple and injured 61 Sunday at a Re
membrance Day ceremony for
Britain’s war dead in the worst Irish
terrorist attack in five years.
The huge explosion transformed
the solemn pageant, which recalled
the thousands of Northern Ireland’s
Protestants and Roman Catholics
who perished for king and country
in two world wars, into a horror
scene of bloodshed and destruction.
No organization claimed responsi
bility, but the province’s top police
official said he had no doubt the out
lawed Irish Republican Army had
planted the bomb and that it specif
ically was aimed at civilians.
Friends, relatives, soldiers and
bandsmen dug with their bare hands
through the rubble of a community
center where the bomb was planted
in this County Fermanagh town near
the Irish border.
The blast blew out one end of the
building and the structure collapsed,
trapping men, women and children
against sidewalk railings.
Police said three married couples
were among the six women and five
men killed and that many of the
wounded were seriously injured in
the 10:45 a.m. explosion.
A 14-year-old member of i!
Boy’s Brigade said he was standii
near the war memorial ready tok
wreath when the bomb went off.
‘T dropped the wreath as
rushed to where the wall had coll^
sed,” he said. “People were screat
ing and we did all we could tops
them out. At 1 1 o’clock we shoii
have been remembering the dea
not digging them out.”
Two trains collide head-on;
crash kills 1, injures 6 others
KEMMERER, Wyo. (AP) — Two
Union Pacific freight trains collided
head-on Sunday, destroying the lead
engines on both trains and killing a
conductor, officials said. Six crew
members were injured, some when
they jumped before the crash.
One of the trains apparently
passed a signal on the main line.
Union Pacific spokesman Joe Thibo
deau said, but he added that the ac
cident was still under investigation.
There was no immediate indication
of how fast the trains were moving.
The collision around 6:15 a.m.,
about 10 miles west of Kemmerer,
involved a westbound train headed
from Chicago to Seattle and an
eastbound train going from Seattle
to Chicago. He said it was the
eastbound train that may have
passed the signal.
John Bromley, a Union Pacific
spokesman in Omaha, Neb., said
flatbed cars carrying truck trailers
and an engine of the eastbound train
and two engines of the westbound
train derailed in the accident.
The cars were the eighth and
ninth cars back from the engines, he
said, and derailed “as a result of
jackknife force.” The two lead en
gines on each train were destroyed,
he said.
None of the truck trailers came
off the flatbed cars, Bromley said,
but some diesel fuel spilled from the
trains’ engines. He said he did not
know how much fuel spilled.
Bromley said N.E. Hanson of Po
catello, Idaho, the conductor of the
westbound train, was killed in the ac
cident.
Six of the 11 other men on the
trains were taken to South Lincoln
County Hospital in Kemmerer.
Iron claims
responsibility
in missile strikes
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)—Inn
said it fired two surface-to-sur
face missiles into Baghdad Sun
day. Iran reported that at leas
one missile exploded in a densely
populated neighborhood, killint
a large number of civilians.
The attack came as Arab lead
ers convened a summit in Am
man, Jordan to seek a united
stand behind Iraq in its 7-year-old
war against Persian Iran.
The missiles hit Iraq’s state-run
television and radio headquar
ters, Iran’s official Islamic Repuk
lie News Agency said.
Terrorist group says it holds 8 Israeli hostages
BEIRUT (AP) — The Abu Nidal Palestinian
terrorist group said Sunday its guerrillas seized a
French-registered boat off the Israeli-occupied
Gaza Strip and took the eight Israelis on board
hostage.
Walid Khaled, identified as one of the faction’s
leaders, said at a news conference in Moslem west
Beirut that the captives were five men, a woman
and two children. He said they were unharmed.
“They were given all essential medical and hu
manitarian care,” he told reporters.
“We shall transfer them to a safe place, where
representatives of the International Committee
of the Red Cross can examine them,” he said.
He said the 17-ton boat was flying the Israeli
and Belgian flags but was registered in France.
He declined to say when the vessel was stormed.
In Jerusalem, Israeli army commanders said
they had no knowledge of the vessel’s seizure.
“The Israeli army is not acquainted with the in
cident,” the army command said in a statement.
In Paris, the Foreign Ministry had no immedi
ate comment on the report.
Abu Nidal’s faction, known as Fatah-Revolu-
tionary Council, has been issuing its commu
niques in Lebanon since the Syrians closed down
the group’s information offices in Damascus ear
lier this year. Abu Nidal, whose real nameisSi
bri al-Banna, has long topped the terrorist mos
wanted list in the United States and Europe.H
group has been blamed for scores of attacks,!
eluding the December 1985 massacres at ill
Rome and Vienna airports.
Khaled said all eight captives are Israelis wit!
dual nationalities. He said five hold Belgian past
ports and the woman holds a French passport.
Khaled warned Israel against launching rept
sal attacks on Palestinian refugee camps in li
anon, “otherwise the prisoners’ lives will be it
danger.”
