The World - News from Jan. 7, 1985

Animal rights activists hurled a firebomb that damaged the garage at the suburban London home of Sir John Vane, co-winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Medicine and director of a medical research laboratory that performs experiments on animals. They also stoned or painted slogans on the homes of five other current or retired staff members of the laboratory, operated by the Wellcome Foundation in Beckenham, nine miles southeast of London, the foundation said. The Animal Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the attacks.
