Government troops retook the road to Asmara airport in Ethiopia and restarted airlift of foreigners from the northern city. About 200 foreigners were sent 450 miles to Addis Ababa, including around 100 Americans most women and children. Another 200 Americans remain in Asmara, many employees at a U.S. communications station. In Lima, troops and tanks stormed a police compound where striking officers were barricaded. Wounded and possibly dead reported amid a news blackout.
