Man fires shots
at Indian Prime
Minister Gandhi
by The Associated htu
NEW DELHI, India - A man
in an army uniform fired a home-
made pistol Thursday at Prime
Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Presi-
dent Zail Singh, missing them but
slightly wounding six other peo-
ple. Authorities said the captured
assailant did not belong to a ter-
ror group.
The shooting triggered an in-
vestigation into protection given
the prime minister, who has been
threatened repeatedly by Sikh
separatists. Police said the gun-
man was not a Sikh.
The government said several
police assigned to protect Gandhi
were suspended after the attack,
which occurred as Gandhi, 42^
and the president left a prayer
service commemorating the 117th
anniversary of the birth of Mo-
handas Gandhi, who led India’s
struggle for independence from
Britain.
Police said the attacker hid in
heavy vines that covered a gazebo ■
on the grounds of the Rajghat, or
• State Memorial, where the Ma-
. hatma was cremated. He fired a
'■homemade pistol several times,
-they said.
'; ’ Two of the injured said they
•:were standing next to Gandhi
when the gunman fired, and were
..hit by pellets intended for the
'■prime minister.
Indian news agencies said the
; shots were fired as Singh was get-
ting into a car and Gandhi and his
wife, Sonia, stood nearby. Re-
porters who later surveyed the
scene said the gazebo was about
50 yards from where the prime
minister stood.
Gandhi’s security guards fired
in the air around the gazebo and
flushed out the attacker. Police
said he was in his early 20s and
wore an olive army uniform.
The Home Ministry said he
“changed his name several times”
during questioning.
The suspect was questioned by
police but his motive was not
clear. Police and government offi-
cials said he did not belong to any
terrorist groups.
After the shooting, Gandhi ap- I
peared on government television
and said smiling, “Everything is
okay. There is nothing to tell.”
He then closeted himself with
Home Minister Buta Singh, who
is responsible for internal securi-
ty, and other officials. Indian
news agencies said they discussed
the security lapse and tightening
protection for Gandhi.
Gandhi is guarded by an elite
sharpshooter unit, the National
Security Guard, formed after
Sikh bodyguards assassinated his
mother, Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi, in October 1984.
Three civilians and three police
officers were hit by pellets and
suffered “minor and superficial”
injuries, the Home Ministry said.
One of the injured, Ram
Charan Lal, told The Associated
Press he was standing next to
Gandhi when he felt a thud in his
back and saw pellets flying
around him.
“I had a terrible pain and was
pushed forward,” said Lal, 57, a
retired judge from Rajasthan
state. “Had I not been standing at
the spot, I’m sure Mr. Gandhi
would have been hit by the
pellets.”
Police said the weapon was a
homemade .12-caliber pistol with
a short range. They found more
than 20 of the pellets at the scene,
along with several spent
cartridges.
New Delhi vice police commis-
sioner Rajendra Mohan said a
single shot also was fired about
half an hour before the ceremony
ended.
“We did ask our boys to look
everywhere when we heard that
single shot, but the search yielded
nothing," he said.
However, one police source
said security personnel mistook
the shot for a motorcycle
backfire.
Mohan said the suspect may
have been “mentally deranged ...
.4 crank wanting to attract
attention.”
After the shooting, Gandhi and
President Singh went on to other I
ceremonies to commemorate the
birthday of Mohandas Gandhi -
called "Mahatma,” or “Great
Soul” - no relation to the prime
minister.
. Both Gandhi and Singh have
been threatened by extremist
groups, including Sikh separatists
who want to set up a separate
Sikh nation in Punjab state, the ■
only part of India where Sikhs
outnumber Hindus.

by The Aasoclatad Press
NEW YORK - American

strengthened commitment to
their own unity and dedication

servance, starting this weekend

Brushing aside recently
sharpening antagonism among
major U.S. branches of Juda-
ism, the leaders declared that
“in love and pride” as Jews “we
are bound to one another," to
Israel and its “eternal capital,
Jerusalem.”
They also pledged a visit
there this year, the 20th anni-
All December and May Graduates of the
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
are invited to attend a presentation/reception
on the career opportunities with PP.NA
versary of the reunification of
Jerusalem, as a “living witness
to this imperishable unity.”
The surge of solidarity came
on a recent visit here by Israel
Prime Minister Shimon Peres
and as Jews around the world
prepared to celebrate their
most solemn days of the year.
Rosh Hashana is a time in
which tradition says human des-
tinies are determined for the
ensuing year.
The observance lasts two
days for Orthodox and Conser-
vative branches, and one day for
Reform. The following period
of meditation and rededication
culminates the evening of Oct.
12 with Yom Kippur, ending at
sunset Oct. 13.
The blowing of a ram’s horn
at synagogue services marks the
start of the Day of Atonement,
on which futures are considered
sealed in the book of life.
