ATTEMPT ON LIFE OF MACEDONIAN PRESIDENT
Skopje Radio this morning reports that an attempt was
made on the life of Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov.
According to these sources, the President's motor vehicle
was damaged by a car bomb activated in the vicinity of
the Bristol Hotel as the vehicle was passing. Several
citizens were injured and considerable damage was done
to neighbouring houses. Police allegedly stopped a
suspect vehicle, a Renault with Titov Veles registration,
which left the area of the explosion at high speed. It
is reported that the persons responsible may have been
apprehended as a result. First reports indicate that the
President's chauffeur was killed in the attack, while the
President, apparently only lightly injured, was conveyed
immediately to hospital, where he remains under doctor's
supervision. Frantic activity in Skopje this morning has
led to widespread confusion in the city. The police have
closed off the country's borders.
