-Caveat Lector- Marine Jets Kill Civilian in P.R. By CHRIS HAWLEY .c The Associated Press SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Two U.S. Marine jets on a training run missed their target and bombed a communications tower on an island off Puerto Rico, killing one civilian and injuring four others. The two F-18 jets based on the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy struck the tower at about 7:30 p.m. Monday, said Roberto Nelson, spokesman for Roosevelt Roads Naval Station. The bombs hit the tower where four civilian contractors and one military observer were helping direct the jets over the island of Vieques, off Puerto Rico's east coast. The Navy will investigate, Nelson said. The four injured men were in stable condition in a military hospital, the Navy said. A contractor, David Sanes, 35, was killed, according to Robert Rabin of the Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques, a civilian group which opposes the military exercises. Activists fighting to force the U.S. military to stop using the island declared that it was inevitable that an accident should occur. ``Vieques lives under the continual danger that this type of situation will happen if the Navy makes a mistake in its bombardment from ships and airplanes,'' Rabin said. Many of the 9,400 residents of 21-mile-long island oppose the use of live ammunition, which they say is destroying coral reefs, disturbing fishing grounds and thwarted efforts to attract tourists.
