Soviets seize police academy in Latvia amid Baltic crisis
Soviet Interior Ministry troops seized a police academy in Agenskalns Latvia as independence activists set barricades in Riga. Latvia's parliament spokeswoman said some students were roughed up but injuries were not serious. The move followed a Kremlin-backed drive to curb Baltic autonomy and a rising appeal from Latvia to world powers to prevent a Kuwait-like crackdown.
