VERY TRULY YOURS, Bush airport cargo worker shot to death IIOUSTON (AP) —A airport cargo worker was shot to death Tuesday morning in an apparent robbery at a Bush Intercontinental Airport freight building. The attacker ambushed Robert Kenneth Green shortly after 7 a.m. as Green, 56, entered the KLM airlines cargo area, Houston police said. A witness with the victim told police he ran to a phone to get help and heard a shot. When the wit ness returned. Green was dead with a gunshot to the head, police said. Police believe the attacker’s motive was robbery. “His pockets were turned out and he was known to carry a large amount of cash with him,” said Houston police spokesperson Fred King. Green’s money clip was found outside the build ing, as was a sweater, gloves and a bandanna be lieved to have been worn by the attacker. The witness told investigators the attacker was roughly 5-foot-8 and wore blue pants and a blue shirt. During the assault, the attacker wore the ban danna over his face, police said. Green, a longtime employee of Cargo Airport Services, is the second homicide victim killed on air port grounds. King said. In 1972, four men killed an Eastern Airlines tick et agent before hijacking a 727 with 35 passengers and seven crew members to Cuba. The hijackers were later returned to the United States to face charges. RHA Continued from Page 1 ‘’Food Services has worked really hard to make sure that Rl 1A is kept up to date."
