Discovered documents could shed light on 1970 military actions

The documents were found during a weapons search of a shack belonging to a former army headquarters sergeant in Radom. Aside from reports on the Gdansk and Gdynia actions, the documents include the personal notes of generals and information on Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski. The army sergeant who owns the shack testified that he reported them to Interior Ministry secretary of state Bogdan Borusewicz five years ago. "I was interested, and he was supposed to deliver them, but he didn't," responded Borusewicz. The Special Army Garrison Prosecutors' Office committee is working on the discovered materials. Said Col. Wojciech Petkowicz: "We can talk about results in a few days." These documents could change the outcome of continued legal action surrounding the December 1970 events, which involved the death of 44 people. (Zycie, page 1, Gazeta Wyborcza, page 4)
