After a decline in attacks by Madrid's fascist gangs in recent months, separate incidents in June claimed two lives. On 18 June, a black youth was found dead in the Getafe district of the capital, with a gunshot wound to the head. Five persons were arrested in connection with the killing. On 20 June, a 32-year-old policeman killed a 19-year-old Moroccan youth, shot in the back as he walked with his girlfriend in the centre of Madrid. Before shooting the assailant demanded "Are you Moroccan?"
