Vietnamese attack guerrillas, threaten U.N. peace accord
The Associated Press
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — The Vietnamese-installed government launched an army offensive against Khmer Rouge guerrillas in northern Cambodia yesterday, threatening the U.N.-sponsored peace accord that is meant to end more than a dozen years of war.
The Khmer Rouge, which has been hated for the hundreds of thousands of deaths it caused during a three-year reign that was ended by a Vietnamese invasion in 1978, called for an immediate truce.
The government and the Khmer
Rouge have accused each other of starting the recent fighting by trying to seize more territory before full deployment of U.N. peacekeeping forces under the pact.
The government and three rival rebel groups signed a peace agreement in October in Paris. But the four-month interval before U.N. officials arrived to begin overseeing the truce left a power vacuum marked by frequent cease-fire violations, political assassinations and civil unrest.
Yasuhi Akashi, head of the U.N. peacekeeping operation, said fighting was spreading, and condemned it as a threat to the peace agreement.
Once fully deployed in the biggest and most expensive U.N. peacekeeping operation ever, about 22,000 U.N. soldiers and officials are to disarm the four factions and to supervise governmental functions until elections are held in 1993. But officials said they would not send peacekeepers into areas where there was fighting.
"We are facing a very, very serious situation," Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the former rebel leader who now acts as head of Cambodia's national reconciliation body, said yesterday. "There are thousands and thousands of new displaced persons who have fled their villages. The war is continuing."
Nuclear experts could leave Russia if research isn't funded,scientist says
The Associated Press
ARZAMAS-16, Russia — Atop scientist at the secret city where Andrei Sakharov helped create the Soviet hydrogen bomb said some of his colleagues might consider leaving Russia if the government cannot support their research.
"We cannot exclude the possibility completely, but I don't believe many scientists would like to leave the country," said Alexander Pavlovskii, a senior researcher at the Arzasam-16 nuclear center.
In 1946, the Soviet Union designated Arzamas-16, originally named Sarov, as a center for nuclear weapons research and sealed it off with barbed wire and guards.
The city's 81,000 residents call their 285-acre area surrounded by thick forests "the forbidden zone." The city appears on no map, and there are virtually no telephone lines to the outside.
Sakharov lived and worked there for 18 years in the days before he became a human rights champion, and his run of wooden house is now a city landmark.
INTERNATIONAL BRIEFS
According to Mayor Valery Takeyev, 25,000 people work at Arzamas-16's nuclear centers, including 2,000 to 3,000 scientists.
U. S. Secretary of State James Baker was denied permission to visit Arzamas-16 last month.
But eight Western journalists, who accompanied a group of Norwegians bringing in 33 tons of humanitarian aid last week, were allowed to pass the double rows of barbed wire and soldiers surrounding Arzamas-16, 295 miles east of Moscow.
Bosanski Brod, Yugoslavia
Fighting in Bosnia jeopardizes truce
Snipers killed three people yesterday, and refugees flooded out of Bosnias Brod in violence-torn northern Bosnia-Hercegovina despite a truce agreement among Serbians, Croatians and Muslims.
At least 40 people died in a week of fighting around Bosnian Brod, an industrial town of $3.800.000 people that is 42 percent ethnic Serbs.
All-out war in Bosnia could be much bloody than the war that killed up to 10,000 people in neighboring Croatia
Serbians, who account for about a third of Bosnia's 4.4 million people, want their areas to remain part of Yugoslavia, which is dominated by Serbia. Muslims and Croatians, who together make up about 61 percent of the population, want to secede from Yugoslavia and keep the republic together.
The violence has jeopardized a European Community-mediated agreement that would preserve one Bosnian republic while granting each ethnic group controller designated areas. Talks on the agreement are scheduled to resume this week.
Herzliyya, Israel
Foreign minister says he will resign
Foreign Minister David Levy, the Israeli Cabinet's strongest champion of the U.S.-brokered Arab-Israeli peace talks, said yesterday he would resign.
The move dealt Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir a potentially serious setback three months before national elections.
Levy's resignation announcement — in an angry, strongly worded speech to supporters — does not take effect until 14 hours after he heands it to the Cabinet, and his deputy Sharmir as Sehram into giving hiscussion more weight in the party.
The Cabinet's next meeting is a week away, so Shamir still has of time to reach a compromise if he wants one.
Nonetheless, Levy's announcement and his rancorous language dramatized the deep split in Likud as it heads into the June 23 election against a Labor party that is pulling ahead in opinion polls.
Shamir made no immediate comment. But Benjamin Begin, a Likud legislator, said, "I hope he does not go through with it."
