...security blackout was imposed following the arrest in Milan last month of Corrado Alunni, 30, a leading member of the Red Brigades. The police complained that the wide press coverage given to Alunni's capture had interfered with a similar dragnet. Among those arrested last week were Antonio Savino, 29, who escaped from prison last year and is accused of murdering a district attorney in Genoa; Paolo Sivieri, 24, found with evidence linking him to the kneecapping of an Alfa Romeo executive in Milan the day before his arrest; and Bianca Sivieri, 29, Paolo's sister, an elementary...
Investigators in Rome were having no luck getting information from Corrado Alunni, 30, a prime suspect in the kidnap-murder of former Premier Aldo Moro. Alunni has brushed off every question by reciting the terrorist version of name, rank and serial number: "I consider myself a fighting Communist and a political prisoner in a state concentration camp and do not intend to collaborate with this system of justice."

Alunni, one of the most violent and ruthless of Moro's Red Brigades kidnapers, is also believed to have participated in the killings of Moro's five bodyguards, three police officers, two court officials and a newspaper editor. Though police had spotted him six weeks earlier, they refrained from making an immediate swoop. Instead, police in disguise kept him under constant surveillance. This classic counterespionage maneuver paid off. Just six hours after Alunni's capture, police picked up one more suspected...
