BEIJING - Gunfire
spread around the capital
Tuesday morning, and reports
said military factions were bat-
tling over the government’s as-
sault on the massive demon-
strations for democratic
reforms.
An officer on guard at Beij-
ing’s Great Hall of the People
fired four shots at Premier Li
Peng, but the Chinese leader
escaped with only a slight
wound, a newspaper reported
Tuesday.
The daily Ming Pao said the
young guard fired from a dis-
tance in the attack Sunday af-
ternoon and Li was hit in the
thigh, but his injuries were not
serious.
Ming Pao, quoting unidenti-
fied sources, said the guard
was killed immediately and
about 170 other guards at the
Great Hall were quickly
disarmed.
Unconfirmed reports indi-
cated the 38th Army may have
balked at orders to move
against the demonstrators.
Hundreds of people were

TEHRAN, Iran — Two million
mourners kept a candle-lit vigil
Monday night in a Tehran souare
where the white-shrouded body
of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini
lay in state. At least eight people
were killed and hundreds hurt in
a huge show of mass grief.
Chanting “Farewell, beloved
Imam” and "C
have you left us?” mourners
pounded their heads and chests
with clenched fists in a traditional
Shiite Moslem expression of grief.
Iranians called Khomeini their
imam, or spiritual leader.
