Poland's Jaruzelski rejects claim he called for invasion


Poland’s last communist leader dismissed as untrue allegations made by the state archives institute yesterday that he had called for a Soviet invasion of his country in 1981 to help crush striking workers.
In a statement sent to the state news agency PAP, Gen Wojciech Jaruzelski branded the claims “illogical” and said the Soviet general named in the memo had often denied suggestions that the Polish communists had requested a Soviet invasion.
