Three suspected members of the Red Brigades urban guerrilla group were arrested in Rome after a gun battle with police in which two of the suspects were wounded. Police said the three, two men and a woman, were captured after one of them opened fire on police agents who had been following them on a street in a northern neighborhood of the capital. Police identified the wounded suspects as Paolo Cassetta, 26, a leftist extremist who escaped from police custody in 1984, and Gerardina Colotti.
