...year was consumed with the old war-and-death business. Afghanistan enters the year as a prisoner of its "liberating" neighbor; Iran and Iraq close the year at each other's throats. In between, Cambodians are starved out of existence; terrorists go about murdering 80 or more in Bologna, and a mere four outside a Paris synagogue. In Turkey, political violence kills 2,000; in El Salvador, more than 9,000 die in that country's torment. All this on top of natural disasters: Mount St. Helens erupts in Washington State; one earthquake in Algeria kills 3,000; another...
Last week, after a stunning series of raids in Milan, Bologna and other cities, police officials announced that among some 70 members of the Red Brigades arrested, they had captured the entire six-member March 28 contingent.

José Deltorn, a police union official, claimed last week that 30 members of the force were known neo-Nazis. He also charged that Interior Minister Christian Bonnet has had a list of the suspect policemen on his desk for weeks but has done nothing...
Italy's neo-Fascists had once again drawn blood-however mistakenly-a month to the day after a terrorist bomb detonated in the Bologna train station and took 84 lives. Indeed, on the morning of Di Leo's death, tens of thousands of demonstrators had gathered outside the gutted station to protest the massacre. Police were holding 21 suspects in connection with the bombing, claiming to have decapitated the country's neo-Fascist movement...
