FOLLOWING DATED MAY 10, 1984 AND TITLED TWO GUNMEN FIRED SHOTS FROM LIBYAN BUREAU" CAN BE FOUND IN THE GLASGOW HERALD:

"LONDON--TWO gunmen were firing from the first floor of the former Libyan People's Bureau in St. James Square when WPC Yvonne Fletcher was shot in the back, an inquest, into the death of WPC Fletcher, heard yesterday.
Evidence from forensic experts proved that the bullets flying arounf St. James Square came from two weapons.
The forensic evidence ties up with all that has been gathered by security officials from MI5 and indeed the police who eavesdropped into conversations in 5 St. James Square when it was put under siege.
Two Libyans have been identified by security and the police as the likely murderers.
Mr. Brian Arnold, a police forensic expert, said at the reopened inquest: 'I examined 12 bullets. Two of these were in near perfect condition and the rest in various stages of damage.
'I was satisfied that nine were fired from the same weapon.'
The jury heard evidence from another forensic specialist, Mr. Robin Keely, who said at the end of the siege he found traces of firearm residue at two windows within the bureau.
These deposits were consistent with firearms being discharged from two windows on the first floor of the bureau.
A workman brought in to erect barriers around the square told the coroner that men from the bureau had warned him of forthcoming violence.
Mr John Sullivan told the jury that somebody from the people's bureau objected to the erection of barriers and declared: 'We have guns here. There is going to be fighting here today.'"

WILL KEEP ADVISED.
