Terrorists 'retaliate' for diplomat's murder
A note delivered to the fire department gave instructions on how to find the body, stripped of personal belongings and left in an abandoned adobe shack only five miles from the site where Spreti's body was found last Sunday.
Soldiers continued stopping and searching automobiles in the city and on its outskirts, looking for the kidnap-killers of Spreti.
"The reprisals for the death of Karl Von Spreti have begun," said the note found at the fire department. The note said that the person strangled had participated in the kidnap-slaying of the German diplomat, who was killed when the government refused to pay $700,000 in ransom and free 22 political prisoners in exchange for his safe release.
