Synagogue shootings baffling
RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Mo (AP)—Police say they are baffled by a sniper shooting in one man who was killed and another was wrongfully aguegogue in this St. Louis suburb Saturday.
11. Thomas Bouch, who is leading the 20-man Major Case Squid investigation of the shooting, said yesterday that there was no reason to suspect that any of the neocole involved to indicate a motive.
"These are all very clean-living, upstanding people," he said. "It does not look specifically as if someone was out for the victim."
Gerald Gordon, 42, of Chesterfield, Mo., died about two hours after he was shot in the chest as he was leaving a bar mitzvah at the Temple of Jehovah Congregation Svaneeat at one p.m.
WOUNDED WAS WILLIAM Lee Ash, 30, of Akron. He remained hospitalized in satisfactory condition yesterday with wounds in the left hand and the hip.
A third man narrowly escaped injury when a bullet passed through the shoulder of his friend.
Synagogue officials said there was no evidence to indicate an anti-Semitic motive
Separate Quebec opposed
OTTAWA (UPI)—The federal government will not tolerate the province's separation force and will not negotiate independence even if the province's voters want it, Federal-Provincial Relations Minister Marc Lalonde said yesterday.
for the shooting. The synagogue has not been a target of vandalism or threats, they
The first head of the newly created ministry dealing with the provinces agreed
"We've had no problems here," Iri Bartis, president of the congregation, said. "We have excellent neighbors here in Richmond Heights."
"We would certainly say that this government has no mandate to enter into that kind of negotiation." Lalonde said in a brief interview. "We will not negotiate separation."
with a reporter's suggestion that a unilateral declaration of independence would create a constitutional impasse that could be solved only by one side's backing.
A group of 12 persons was in the synagogue's parking lot when the shots rang out. Gordon was shot as he was getting into the vehicle, and it didn't stand on the lot's driveway, police said.
"There is a basic thing in this federal system that, if you fail to do it, no police can leave the city on its own."
He said the federal government would continue to operate all federal agencies in the province if the government in Quebec City asked for independence. Ottawa likely would wait for the provincial government to assert its independence.
AUTHORITIES SAID the snapper apparently fired from the cover provided by a telephone pole and a stand of six-foot saplings about 300 feet from the victims.
A 30.06 caliber hunting rifle with a telescopic sight and five spent cartridges was found at the site. The serial number had not been altered, but the number could not say whether they found fingerprints.
Investigators called the shootings "highly premeditated." The gunman apparently had driven two spikes into the post and shot them. But they could be used to steady the rifle, they said.
"We are working on a lot of angles, beating the bushes trying to come up with something." Boull said. "At this point we have nothing concrete. No suspects."
AMMAN, Jordan (UPI)—Jordan yesterday accused Iraq of hanging a Jordanian student, barred future educational exchanges with Baghdad and hinted at a total overhaul of its relations with the Iraqi regime.
"Jordan expresses its anger and disgust against what represents not only a gross negligence of human rights but a violation of accepted international conduct," he said.
Declaring that the accused student was innocent of charges of spying, a Jordanian government spokesman protested "this savage act by Iraqi authorities.
The spokesman said Jordan would bar Jordanian students from enrolling in Iraqi schools in the future and had advised students now in Iraq to leave.
He said Rayid Butros Zawadey, who had been studying at an Iraqi agricultural school, was hanged Sept. 24 after having been accused by the Iraqis of being a Jordanian soviet.
Jordan had requested Iraq to supply it with full details of the alleged hanging, the police said.
Student hanging in Iraq prompts Jordanian protest
"Jordan reserves the right to reconsider all aspects of its relations with the Iraqi government," he said.
Darmascus radio charged the Iraqis had given the student 'A speed five-minute drive'.
THE SPOKESMAN said a visit to Jordan by Iraq's transport minister scheduled for yesterday had been canceled at the insistence of Jordan.
