Some misguided marksman, it seems, has taken to sniping coach windows with an alr rifle, Fortunately, his pellets have found no human targets to date, but glass casualties have been disturbing C.N.R. officials, who hadn't heard of Acton being classified as a war zone. Police are keeping a careful eye peeled for the sniper.
