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.
Quo Vadis?
