Hostages foil jet hijack
SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Pas
sengers aboard a hijacked Tur
kish jetliner overpowered two
armed air pirates in a hastily
planned but skillfully executed
escape Monday at a Black Sea
resort airport, freeing all 91
people aboard, including five
Americans, authorities said.
The two gunmen and four
passengers were wounded, but
the five Americans — all bankers
employed by the New York
based Citibank, were un
harmed, U.S. and Bulgarian of
ficials said.
The dramatic escape at Bur
gas came after one of the two air
pirates leaped from the plane
after he lost his gun in the scuf
fle with the passengers, and in
the midst of gunfire from the
remaining armed hijacker, the
Bulgarian news agency BTA
said. Earlier, BTA said authori
ties had enticed two of the
original gunmen off the plane
with a promise they could make
statements to reporters.
The end to the nearly 30-hour
—making the news—
From Associated Press Reports
CHICAGO (AP) — A 25-year-old acrobat wearing a
red-and-blue Spider-Man outfit conquered the world's tallest
building Monday, climbing all the way up the sheer west face
of the 1,454-foot-high Sears Tower in a 7'/2-hour exploit.
As hundreds watched in the downtown street below,
Daniel Goodwin of Kennebunkport, Maine, was handcuffed
and taken into custody as he reached the roof of the 110-story
steel-and-glass building at about 8:30 a m. PDT, after defying
40 mph winds and the best efforts of authorities to stop his
ascent.
Goodwin carried 50 to 60 pounds of climbing equipment,
including metal binders, suction cups and rope.
Goodwin would stick one metal device into the exterior
slots used for window-washing equipment and twist it until it
was tight, then use it as a step. Meanwhile, he'd remove a
second device from below, insert it higher and bit by bit move
upward.
Goodwin also used window ledge clips with ropes
attached to his body as a safety line. The suction cups were
used also for attaching safety ropes to the building and for
moving horizontally to evade a window washer's scaffold that
authorities at first employed to try to block his ascent.
Goodwin was being held for investigation of disorderly
conduct, criminal trespassing and criminal damage to
property.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) - A tiny mallard duck with an
arrow through her breast was fed bread laced with a barbi
turate Monday and captured. The duck had eluded would-be
rescuers for more than a month.
The duck, named Donna by Humane Society volunteers,
was captured after a brief tussle in a pond at the Sahara
Country Club golf course.
Within five minutes of her capture she was picked up by a
helicopter and flown to a veterinary hospital in nearby
Henderson, where Dr. Gary Weddle performed surgery to
remove the arrow.
Donna, with a 3-foot target arrow shot through her
breast, had been the object of intense efforts to capture her
over the past week, and residents around the country club
said they had been trying to catch her for more than a month.
ATLANTA (AP) — The city’s list of murdered and missing
young blacks grew to 30 Monday, as police added the cases
of a man who disappeared a week ago and another whose
body was found in the Chattahoochee River. An autopsy
showed the latest victim was asphyxiated, like 16 before him.
The nude body of the man, whose identity was not
released, was found Sunday in the river northwest of Atlanta.
Police said Monday his case and that of 22-year-old
Ronald Crawford, a mentally retarded man who has been
missing since May 18, would be added to the list of cases
being investigated by a special police task force, bringing the
total to 28 unsolved deaths and two disappearances.
hijacking was cococted by the
pilot and passengers in a bid to
save the Americans, two
Japanese and a French hostage
on board, American officials
said.
The hijackers, identified as
members of the leftist Turkish
guerrilla group Dev-Sol, had
threatened to blow up the Tur
kish Airlines DC-9 along with
themselves and the non-Turkish
hostages if authorities did not
meet their demands for
$500,000 and the release of 47
inmates from Turkish prisons,
BTA said. Explosives were later
reported found aboard.
"The terrorists told the pas
sengers ... that at 5 o’clock (9
a m. PDT) they were going to
release all but the first three
rows (where the non-Turks were
sitting) and at 6 o'clock they
would kill the Americans,” said
Brian Carlson, spokesman for
the U.S. Embassy in Sofia.
Irish rioters
vow to kick
British out
LONDONDERRY, Northern
Ireland (AP) — In a graveside
pledge to hunger striker Patrick
O’Hara, the outlawed Irish Na
tional Liberation Army vowed
Monday to step up its campaign
to drive the British out of North
ern Ireland.
Rioting broke out after the
funeral in the Catholic Bogside
quarter when some 200 youths
attacked troops and police with
stones, gasoline bombs and
homemade hand grenades,
police said. A derelict building
was set on fire, but police said
the rioting was on a small scale
compared with the violence of
previous nights. There were no
reports of serious injuries.
“What we have done in the
past will be bettered in the fu
ture,” said a hooded, uniformed
guerrilla leader at the grave.
“That’s our promise to Patsy
O’Hara.”
O’Hara, 24, was an INLA
member and the fourth hunger
striker to die this month at the
Maze Prison near Belfast. He
and the three others — members
of the Irish Republican Army —
have been replaced by com
rades in the fast intended to
pressure Britain into granting
jailed guerrillas political pri
soner status.
