[0:01] Day at 6.
[0:06] >> In South Africa, a party ends in death
[0:08] in a rare attack by blacks against
[0:10] whites.
[0:12] In this country, immigrants from Haiti.
[0:14] How many will be allowed in?
[0:19] >> This is NBC Nightly News reported by
[0:22] Garrick Utley. Good evening. This was
[0:25] the scene in King Williamstown, South
[0:27] Africa. a country club, an integrated
[0:30] club. In the dining room, a wine tasting
[0:32] party, a festive atmosphere, and then
[0:35] and then five men, blacks, burst in,
[0:38] firing automatic weapons and hurling
[0:40] grenades. Four whites were killed, 17
[0:42] others, mostly whites, were injured in
[0:44] the attack. The gunman escaped and South
[0:46] Africa's government now is certain to
[0:48] face mounting pressure that it resists
[0:50] blacks demands for political power. A
[0:53] report from Ferggo Keane. In the
[0:55] darkness, the dead and wounded are
[0:57] carried out. It took the gunmen less
[0:59] than a minute to stage their bloody
[1:01] attack. The results were devastating.
[1:04] Hand grenades were hurled into the
[1:05] dining room, followed by a storm of
[1:07] automatic rifle fire. Although such
[1:10] violence is part of everyday life in
[1:11] many black townships, it's the first
[1:13] time in many years that whites appear to
[1:15] have been targeted deliberately in such
[1:17] large numbers. The ANC president Nelson
[1:20] Mandela was addressing his own
[1:21] supporters today and he appealed for an
[1:24] end to all violence. Violence which he
[1:26] said threatened to destroy South Africa.
[1:29] But the ANC is likely to urge President
[1:31] D clerk to resist what is certain to be
[1:33] a chorus of demands for a security
[1:35] crackdown in the wake of this attack.
