GAUTING, West Germany —
Two terrorists forced their way into a prominent West German industrialist’s home today and shot him in the head, fatally wounding him, police said.
Ernst Zimmermann, 55, chairman of the giant Motoren-und Turbinen-Union of Munich, died in a hospital nearly 12 hours after he was attacked, the Bavarian Criminal Office said. The left-wing Red Army Faction claimed responsibility for the attack in a phone call to a local newspaper, police said.
