3 Bombs Explode at U.S. Base in Germany

NOHFELDEN, West Germany — Three bombs exploded at a U.S. anti-aircraft defense base here Friday, damaging radar equipment in the fourth attack on an American military installation in a month. No injuries were reported.

There were no immediate claims of responsiblity for the attack at the small U.S. air defense missile base, 40 miles north of Saarbruecken near the French border. But authorities said the attack appeared to be by the Red Army Faction, which has been blamed for other incidents at U.S. facilities.

The bombers cut through perimeter fencing and planted the explosives, which blew up at about 6 a.m., a spokesman at U.S. Army headquarters at Heidelberg said.

“There was no damage to the missiles, but three radar dishes were damaged,” he said.
