Egyptian raiders free hostages
LARNACA, Cyprus (AP)-Egyptian

and charged through Cyprus gunfire last
night to storm the city of Nicosia,
leading by two Arabterrorists.
The self-proclaimed Palestinian guerrillas surrendered to the plane's crew during the raid and the hostages were freed, a pilot reported.
were killed that at least 15 Egyptians were killed during the raid. It was not known whether any hostages were injured. Both terrorists were captured and one was wounded, Egypt's news agency reported in Cairo.
THE EGYPTIAN land raised an angry exchange between the Cypriot and Egyptian governments. Cyprus said the raid caused needless bloodshed just as the troops were preparing to free their 10 teamses and the four crewmen of the Cyprus Airways
The ordeal began Saturday when the two terrorists, who identified themselves as Palestinian, gunned down a newspaper editor, in a hotel lobby in Nicosia, the Cypriot capital.
The terrorists seized hostages and during negotiations were taken to the four-engined plane that flew them and their 15 captives out of Cyrus.
AFTER a flight covering much of the
Middle East in which half a dozen Arab and other countries refused landing permission, the plane landed in the East African nation of Djibouti early yesterday. It was refueled and then returned to Cyprus. About three hours after it landed, the Egyptian negotiations had resumed, the Egyptian flew in aboard a C-130 transport plane.

"Cairo had informed us it was sending a plane with Egyptian ministers to take part in the summit."
IN CAIRO a government statement said, "Prime Minister Mandauh Salem telephoned Cypriot authorities yesterday morning to inform them Egypt was sending a command force to help rescue the hostages."
Carter pressures coal factions
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Carter administration yesterday increased its pressure upon coal miners and companies, pushing for a congress on how to end the prolonged coal strike.
Without being specific, officials said Carter was ready to take steps to resolve the strike through less attractive but unavoidable options.
ASKED WHETHER Carter had made a final choice among the three options, White
House Press Secretary Jody Polew said, "My suspicion is that he has not."
Sources said Carter was considering three options: invoking the Taft-Hartley Act, proposing legislation to permit temporary federal seizure of the mines or proposing legislation for binding arbitration in the dispute, which is now 77 days old.
But another source said that invoking the Tart-Hartley Act was unlikely because miners were thought to be unwilling to obey the laws. The court unwavered, which they would reexamine under the act.
The announcement of planned consultations with Congress came after a White House meeting at which Ray Marshall, president of the National Association, reviewed the talks between the United Mine Workers and the Bituminous Coal Operators Association, which are at a stalemate. Carter, who attended a strategy session at the company on Saturday, missed yesterday's session.
Bomb revenge threatens Belfast
BELLAST (AP) - Militant Protestants meet in East Belfast yesterday amid fears they were planning attacks on Roman Catholics and the victims of a bungalow in Belfast that killed 12 persons.
However, informed sources said leaders of the six organizations represented at the meeting were undecided on what action to take.
The police said the Friday night bombing of the La Mon House hotel was carried out by the Provisional wing of the mainly Catholic Irish Republican Army.
The IRA has not responded to the charge, but its activists were accused of up by the police.
Investigators said that a bomb thrown into the hotel in Belfast's Protestant Cathedral exploded with sticks of plastic explosives taped to a can that contained a mixture of gasoline and nitric acid.
From staff and wire reports
Iranian students take active part in hunger strike
The spokesman refused to be identified whether he would be reprisals against burglar and his wife.
In protest of an alleged massacre of 200 Iranians by the Shah of Iran's police force, about 20 members of the KU Iranian Student Association participated in an eight-day hunger strike that ended last week, according to an ISA spokesman.
Students from seven colleges, including in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, participate.
He said the strike was a response to the recent actions of the Shah and also was an attempt to expose the American public to his attacks. He said Jimmy Carter's human rights policy.
Strikers laid the massacre occurred Jan. 9 near Tehran, Iran. The victims reportedly were religious demonstrators who were killed in the government-controlled press.
Carter has contracted his policy of human rights both militarily and politically by supplying the Shah with money and advising him to reduce the Shah's insensitivity to human rights, he said.
