Two killed in Colombian airport
The Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia — A man with an automatic rifle yesterday fired at airport passengers in Medellin, a drug trafficking center, and exchanged gunfire with police. Officials said two people were killed, including the attacker, and 12 were
wounded.
Shipments of $65 million in emergency military aid continued to arrive as part of a U.S. effort to help the anti-narcotics campaign that President Virgilio Barco's government began Aug. 18.
Civil aviation officials in Monteria,
a northwestern city, said a C-123
transport plane of the State Department's international narcotics division was firebombed early Sunday.
The U.S. Embassy said yesterday that it could not confirm the bombing but acknowledged the plane had been badly damaged by some kind of fire. An embassy spokesman said the C-123 was bound for the United States
from Peru two weeks ago when it had engine trouble and landed at Monteria.
Modellin, 130 miles northwest of Bogota, is home to the world's largest cocaine cartel and has been subjected to bombings and other violence by narcotics traffickers since the crackdown began.

East Germans rally for more freedom
The demonstration began in front of the St. Nicholas church after a traditional Monday "prayer for peace." The church has become a gathering place for human rights activists.
Western reporters at the scene said the predominately young crowd carried banners calling for more freedom. "Freedom to Travel Instead of
Mass Escapes," said one sign. Another said, "For an Open State with Free People."
LEIPZIG, East Germany — Several hundred East Germans rallied yesterday with banners demanding more democracy and freedom to travel. Witnesses said several protesters were arrested during scuffles with police.

East Germans have been fleeing their homeland this summer through other eastern bloc countries. Many have complained about the country's rigid Communist system.
PANAMAMANS BLACKLISTED:
The United States placed Panamaman officials on a blacklist yesterday, forbidding U.S. companies and government agencies from buying them or their businesses.
U. S. Embassy officials said the action was intended to "hurt the pocketbooks" of people associated with Panamanian strongman Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega.
The measure affects Panamanian officials who own companies that sell millions of dollars to the U.S. Southern Command military installations or to the Panama Canal Commission, a U.S. government agency that administers the Panama Canal.
The list released by the U.S. Embassy contains more than 150 names, including all members of
the Cabinet and the 14 members of the Defense Forces' Strategic Command, the officials said.
U. S. government agencies in Panama spend almost $900 million on goods and services in Panama.
SOVIET LAUNCH SCHEDULED:
Soviet space officials made preparations yesterday for the launch of two cosmonauts on a six-month mission to reopen the Mir space station, which was left unmanned while the country saved money and designed new equipment.
Flight commander Alexander Viktorenko, 43, and engineer Alexander Serebrov, 45, are scheduled to be launched from the Baikonur space center early tomorrow morning aboard the Soyuz TM-8 craft.
