The World : S. African Clinic Bombed

A bomb ripped through a South African army medical center, injuring at least 16 people and shattering windows in its Johannesburg office tower. A medic spotted the bomb 10 minutes before it went off, giving most people time to evacuate and probably saving at least six lives. The limpet mine was the type often used in sabotage attacks by the African National Congress, an outlawed black nationalist group. Meanwhile, in Angola, a captured South African commando said at a news conference that he and his men were sent to blow up a Gulf Oil depot, not simply to gather intelligence as South Africa has maintained.
