...hospital, the spacious lobby quickly filled with reporters, politicians, black leaders and pajama-clad patients, several of them in wheelchairs. Jesse Jackson suggested, despite a total lack of evidence, that Jordan might have been the first on an assassin's "hit list" of black leaders. Jackson maintained that Jordan's wound was "seemingly well placed by a professional, which is a political statement." He called on the nation's blacks to stay calm. Said Jackson: "We don't want another 1968 [when riots followed King's murder]. We need leadership. We must respond to this...

...murdering a hostage, the terrorists apparently thought they could force the British government to meet their safe conduct demand. Instead, at Whitelaw's command, the killing triggered "Operation Nimrod," for which the S.A.S. force had been preparing for several days. Within 30 minutes, some 20 S.A.S. commandos, clad in black and wearing hoods, gas masks and armored vests, attacked the embassy from the roof and from adjoining town houses.
