Spurned gunman to be arraigned in California
The Associated Press
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — A Silicon Valley technician's four-year observation with a co-worker's smile led to a shooting rampage at a defense plant that left seven people dead and the woman who spurned him wounded, police said yesterday.
Three other people were wounded when the shotgun fire erupted Tuesday.
"I'm not crazy; I know I will die as a result of this," Richard Wade Farley, 39, reported told hostage negotiator Ruben Grijalva before surrendering in exchange for a turkay and ham sandwich and a soda.
Farley had been fired from his $36,000-a-year job in 1986 for poor performance and harassment of the co-worker, officials said. He had
be ordered by a judge earlier this month to stay away from her.
Police Capt. Al Scott said that Farley probably would be arraigned today on charges including murder, attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Grijalva quoted Farley as saying the attack stemmed from his obsession with engineer Laura Black, 26. Black suffered extensive injuries to her chest, shoulder and spine in the shooting.
"He said he was in love with her from the first moment he saw her." Grijalva told the San Francisco Examiner. "It was her smile.
"He knew she was not attracted to him, but he told her it wouldn't end until either she went out with him or he died."

Sakharov, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975, is a physicist who helped develop the Soviet hydrogen bomb in the 1950s. His subsequent outspoken support for human rights and opposition to the Afghanistan invasion led to his banishment to the closed city of Gorky in 1980.

HEBRON, Occupied West Bank — Israeli soldiers fired on a crowd trying to stop them from making arrests during a pre-dawn raid on an Arab village yesterday, killing one and wounding two, witnesses and the army reported.

Shultz proposed the idea, which was accepted by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, Shamir's partner and rival in the governing coalition.
Neighbors identified the Palestinian killed in Shuyuk village, 20 miles south of Jerusalem, as Ismail Hussein Mohammed al-Halaiqa, 21, a university student. The army confirmed the death.
An army officer at the village said the soldiers aimed at legs only, but doctors said the victim was shot through the heart
According to U.N. figures, 55 Palestinians have been killed since riots began in the occupied territories Dec. 8, nearly all of them shot by Israeli soldiers.
One of the wounded, 16-year-old Khaled Abu Rumei, was in a Hebron hospital with a bullet wound in a thigh. A doctor said he had extracted a metal bullet.
Rumei's mother said soldiers broke into her house about 5 a.m. while the family was sleeping and dragged another of her sons out into the cold rain.
An army spokesman in Jerusalem said soldiers entered the village after some Arabs from nearby Sair slipped out during curfew, went to Shuyukh and began spreading rumors of beatings that incited villagers to riot.
An Israeli officer at the village, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the army went in to arrest people suspected of instigating riots.
"I tried to protect him, and they beat me with clubs," she said at the hospital. "Later they started shooting."
He said two officers opened fire when more than 100 residents began throwing stones and bottles at an army truck.
It's life as usual for some Israelis

TEL AVIV, Israel — Riots in the occupied lands are only an hour's drive from Tel Aviv, but there are no outward signs that the unrest is dampening spirits in Israel's entertainment capital.
On a recent Saturday night, young couples crowded into the popular Cherry's Cafe, and the decibels were as deadly as ever at the Cafe Dan discotheme, which caters to the punk rock crowd.

Rickie Gal, a rock singer whose blond hair was streaked with a slash of red.
Because Israel is about the size of Rhode Island, little happens that is geographically remote. Tel Aviv is only 50 miles from the Gaza Strip and 30 miles from Nablus, the West Bank's largest city.
The psychological distance is much greater because a large percentage of Israelis rarely, if ever, visit the occupied lands unless they are forced to by an army call-up.
Soviets help put out fire at embassy
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Soviet firefighters chaperoned by Americans extinguished a fire yesterday in the U.S. Embassy, the aging building the United States has been unable to abandon because of bugging devices that permeate a new structure.
About 150 embassy employees were evacuated and sent home for the day, embassy spokesman Gilbert said. No one was injured.
U. S. Embassy officials said Soviet firefighters were called to put out the fire in an unoccupied fifth-floor residential section after they decided embassy personnel couldn't extinguish it on their own.
The Soviets responded promptly and were "escorted at all times by American employees" inside the building, Gilbert said. Gilbert said the fire might have been construction-related, although its cause has not been determined. It apparently started near a stairwell, he said.
The 10-story embassy building, on busy Tchaikovsky Street near the center of Moscow, has been the source of controversy for more than a year.
Last spring U.S. officials said they had determined that a new eight-story red-brick office building directly behind the old one could not be occupied immediately because of Soviet listening devices apparently installed during construction.
