Guerrillas kill nuns, priests
SALISBURY, Rhodesia—Seven white Roman Catholic missionaries, including four nuns, were lined up and shot in a guerrilla attack that stunned Christian church groups in Rhodesia.
Officials said it was the worst group killing of whites in four years of war by black guerrillas against Rhodesia's white government.
The one survivor of the shooting said three German Dominican nuns, an English Dominican nun, two Jesuit missionaries from Germany and a lay brother from Ireland were executed inside the compound of their mistery at Salisbury on Sunday night by guerrillas who argued above them who would do the
snooping.
Rhodesian police said they collected 111 empty cartridges from Soviet-made machine guns at the shooting scene, the Catholic Masumi mission in lush, hilly country 36 miles northeast of the Rhodesian capital.
