...traced an earlier shipment of guerrilla munitions from its April 28 arrival on El Salvador's Pacific coast. The weapons, he said, were moved north by backpack and mule train up to the provincial capital of San Miguel. After a battle on May 6, Salvadoran government troops found Bulgarian-made ammunition and a North Vietnamese mortar sight that Gorman said "probably" arrived in the April 28 shipment. Then Gorman displayed a map discovered at a guerrilla campsite on May 25. The crude chart showed "safe routes" nearly identical to those that Gorman had earlier outlined...
...Gable asking him to resign once the Olympics are over. Reason: Gable, a gold medalist in the 1972 Games, had taken sides with one of two wrestlers in a court dispute over which athlete had legally made the team. Yet, aided by the absence of Soviet, East German and Bulgarian wrestlers, the U.S. shrugged off its setbacks and earned seven gold medals in ten weight categories. The sellout audiences at the Anaheim Convention Center took particular delight in the superheavyweight bouts, which featured bruisers like Canada's Bob Molle and Japan's Koichi Ishimori, in action here.

It goes on to discuss his recruitment by the Bulgarian secret service and his bungled shooting and failed escape. While taking scrupulous pains not to mention the Soviet Union by name, the report recommends the indictment of three Bulgarians, including Sergei Ivanov Antonov, 36, who is already in Italian custody, and six Turks, Agca among them...
...seemingly trivial events. Although it establishes that Agca often told the truth about his meetings with the others accused in the case, it furnishes only the beginnings of proof that there was indeed a plot to kill the Pope. Albano rests much of his case that there was a Bulgarian connection on Agca's memory and on his precise descriptions of the habits and physical features of several Bulgarian agents. The Pope's would-be killer reeled off the unlisted phone number of one Bulgarian; he recalled correctly that a second Bulgarian called his wife Rosy and tended...
