Guard shot
NZPA-Reuter Turin Three gunmen yesterday shot and killed a guard at a Turin prison where 15 Red Brigades urban guerrillas are being here while on trial for subversion. But one of the gunmen was wounded in the attack, and later arrested at a medical clinic. His capture could give the police a break-through in their hunt for the Red Brigades gang which kidnapped the former Italian premier, Mr Aldo Moro, last month. In Paris, French television said it received a call purporting to come from Mr Moro’s kidnappers yesterday threatening to kill him tomorrow unless their demands were met. The Red Brigades have not so far claimed responsibility for gunning down the prison guard, but police sources said the killing was very similar to two previous Red Brigades murders.
