I 'NATO Hangman': In kidnapping Do- zicr, the brigatisti had picked a bigger fight than usual. Never before had the Red Bri- gades abducted a non-Italian. And by choosing Dozier, the deputy chief of staff for logistics and administration in NATO's Southern Command, the Italian terrorists were declaring war on the entire Atlantic alliance. The day after taking the American general, the Red Brigades pronounced him a "NATO hangman." In their first commu- niqu6, deposited in a Rome garbage pail, the terrorists denounced the alliance as - a Sistructure of military occupation." The Red Brigades apparently drove Da7 zier from Verona to Padua, 48 miles to & cast, and hauled him up in the trunk to a "People move in and out all the time," said a local merchant. "Not many know each other. This is the place in Padua where they get their drugs. This place is full of addicts, former students, kids without jobs andfanulloni (dropouts]." Lifeless at night, Via Pinde- monte bustled with commerce by day. Much of the business centered on the Dea Supermar- ket under Emanuela Frascel- Ws window in the eight-story apartment building that-locals call "the skyscraper." "This was a perfect place for them," said a neighbor. "All day long they unload vans here, bring- ing staff to the supermarket.
