In Tehran gunmen in three cars killed two U.S. Air Force officers Col. Paul Shaffer and Lt. Col. Jack Turner as they were driven to work at the American military mission. An outlawed Marxist group claimed credit, calling the act a premeditated assassination by professional murderers. The United States government opened an investigation and warned of further retaliation while noting Iran's pro-Western stance and heavy American military aid.

Titan IIIC mission aborts late after transtage failure
A UPI report from Cape Canaveral says a power malfunction in the Titan IIIC third stage aborted a $57 million mission to place two 1,200 pound satellites in stationary orbits over the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The rocket and payload began tumbling after 10:06 a.m. launch, with no fuel bursts noted and no forecast for controlled reentry. Officials blamed a transtage power problem and warned the craft may burn up on reentry.
