The handgrenade attack on the house of Mr Klein, 1st of May 1986.
"Shortly after comrade McBride had recruited me and trained me in the use of arms and educated me politically, he instructed me to carry out certain operations against collaborators and Security Force personnel.
		Comrade McBride had discussed with me a number of targets, including attacks on an armed personnel carrier, police casspir and the attach on policemen, the attack on Labour Party collaborators and the attack on police reservists.
		I selected Klein as the target.  I knew that Klein was a police reservist and closely associated with the Labour Party.  At that stage police reservists were viewed as collaborators and Klein was known to be an influential member of the Labour Party.
		I confirm Mr McBride's testimony in regard to Mr Klein and confirm that this was also my view at the time.  
		One of the reasons I chose Klein as a target is that logistically I would not need to arrange transport to carry out this operation.  Additionally I was aware of the room in the Klein's house, which was his bedroom.
		I went to the house with Antonio du Preez, in the early hours of the morning.  As instructed by comrade McBride, I threw the handgrenade through the window.  I had one handgrenade and Antonio du Preez had another.  Mr du Preez' handgrenade did not enter the house.  The handgrenade that I threw exploded within the house and that which Antonio du Preez threw, exploded on the outside of the house. I accept that there was injury to both Mr and Mrs Klein.  Mr McBride had not participated in this operation.  
		I am also aware that Mrs Klein featured prominently within Labour circles, in support of her husband who was a Labour Party member.  Even if Mrs Klein was not closely and actively involved in the Labour Party, I would still have gone on with this operation, in view of Mr Klein as a legitimate target.  In that case, Mrs Klein, being caught in the crossfire, would have been an acceptable justifiable casualty."
