Two bombs exploded at a U.S. Army installation in West Germany, damaging a radio tower used by the U.S. Armed Forces Network. There were no injuries but the tower was moved about three feet from its base and will be out of operation for “a couple of days,” the network’s commander said. Two other explosive devices were disarmed near the tower. Police suspect the Red Army Faction planted the bombs, although the leftist group did not claim responsibility as it did for the car bomb that killed two Americans and wounded 20 other people last week at the U.S. Rhein-Main Air Base.
