wound
investigator
TURIN, Italy (AP) - A police
anti-terrorism specialist was wounded
in a hail of gunfire yesterday by a two-
man team firing from a motorscooter.
It was the latest in a string of terrort
attacks in Italy.
Police said investigator Roberto de
Martini, 26, was felled by bullets as he
was about to get into his car to drive to
work. He was hospitalized in fair con-
dition with wounds in the neck, arms
and legs, police said. The gunmen sped
away in rush-hour traffic.
SHORTLY AFTER the assault an
anonymous caller told the Italian news
Agency ANSA the leftist "Front Line"
group was responsible for the morning
assault. It was the ninth such attack in'
Italy in the past 12 days.
Also in Turin, a court announced Red
Brigades founders Renato Curcio and
Alberto Franceschini will stand trial
today for praising the killing of former
Premier Aldo Morn by their terrorist
organization, which had abducted him.
The two are accused of supporting a
crime.
After the 61-yesr-old Moro was found
murdered last week, Curcio and Fran-
ceschini, on trial with 13 comrades in
Turin on sedition charges, charac-
terized the terrorist killing as
"revolutionary justice and the highest
act of humanity possible in this society
divided into classes."
IN ROME, the government of
Christian Democrat Premier Giulio
Andreotti prepared for today's
parliamentary debate on the Moro kid-
napping and killing.
Andreotti also called a meeting on
Thursday of the leaders of five parties
supporting the government to discuss.
the nation's law and order issue.
Moro, president of the Christian
Democrat Party, was kidnapped March
16 and murdered 54 days later by the
urban guerrilla group, which said he
was condemned to death for "crimes
against the proletariat."
The government refused terrorist:
demands to exchange him for im-
prisoned leftists.
