A pro-Solidarity priest was attacked in his home in Poland’s southern city of Krakow and knocked out with disabling gas by a masked man who burned a V-sign into his chest with cigarettes, a Roman Catholic leader and a source in the outlawed independent union said. Cardinal Franciszek Macharski said Father Tadeusz Zaleski, 29, “was stunned and then his face, hands and body were burned.” Zaleski received first-aid treatment from an ambulance crew, the cardinal said.
