By New Violence

PARIS (AP) -— A bomb rocked the foreign ministry and a member of parliament was the. victim of. a daylight kid- napping Monday in an eruption of lawlessness and violence that stunned the French capital. One man was killed in the blast.

: There was immediate specu-

| lation that both acts were the

work of the right-wing secret army, the extremist under- ground sworn to keep Algeria French at all costs.

The explosion blasted hund-

BOOBY. TRAP

At the foreign ministry, a spokesman said the blast came from a booby - trapped panel truck. The truck had just parked in an inner courtyard next to the ministry mailroom.

The ‘police theory was that someone tossed a timebomb into the truck as jt entered the min- istry grounds. The truck driver was injured critically.

The explosion blew out two heavy wooden doors to the bag- gage room. killing a mailroom worker who was stand ing nearby. The concussion § sh#t- tered all windows looking «out on the courtyard. A section of the ministry wall was torn out and ceilings in some of the rooms were shattered.
