Just heard (PTI report quoted here) that an attempt was made on the life of Rajiv Gandhi early today at a meeting in New Delhi. A man dressed in 'military uniform' is supposed to have fired (7?) shots at him. RG and Zail Singh were at a prayer service. Rajiv and Zail escaped unhurt. One gunman has been arrested (speculation that there might have been two). A quick call to India reveals that (at least the folks I called in Madras), it is not yet news there. BBC and Deutschewelle have been silent so far.
