Ceausescus Captured As Romanian Revolution Intensifies
Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were captured one day after their ouster, a move announced by Ion Iliescu of the National Salvation Committee. Provisional authorities said the couple’s arrest would boost anti-government forces amid widespread fighting in Bucharest and other cities. Reports from Bucharest radio and state television described clashes, while Moscow signaled limited support from the Soviet Union. More than 12,000 deaths were cited in Timisoara since the uprising began December 15.
