INTERNATIONAL BRIEFS
Moscow
Joint defense plan under way
The United States and the former Soviet Union, in a first step toward a joint defense system, agreed yesterday to set up an early warning center to alert them of ballistic missile attacks, U.S. officials said.
Secretary of State James Baker and Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev also agreed on accelerated high-level talks toward an agreement to air long-range nuclear arsenals, Kozyrev said.
Baker and Kozyrev decided to jettison the arms control negotiating procedures of the Cold War, which involved large teams of experts working for years to reach agreement. They agreed instead to complete the negotiations by July, when President Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin meet in Washington.
Honolulu
Boat found smuggling Chinese
Nearly 100 Chinese nationals were caught aboard a Taiwanese fishing boat, apparently trying to sneak into the United States, immigration officials said.
The boat attempted to dock yesterday in Honolulu Harbor, said Donald Radcliffe, district director of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.
The nine crewmen and 96 passengers were discovered after a state marine controller's radio dispatch was answered in Chinese. Most of the passengers were men in their 20s from the Fukien province of south mainland China. None speak English. Radcliffe said.
"I believe it's an organized smuggling operation." he said.
Tokyo
Two strip to help save animals
Two Americans declaring, "We'd Rather Go Naked than Wear Fur," stripped to their underwear yesterday and marched through a crowded shopping district to protest the fur business.
Ignoring the chilly, 46-degree weather, Dan Matthews and Julia Sloane of the Washingtonbased People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals walked for an hour outside Sunshine 60, Japan's tallest building.
"By showing some of our own skin, we hope to save some animal skins," said Matthews, of Washington, D.C.
Inside the building, 101 furriers from around the world were opening a four-day event — the Fur and Fashion Tokyo Messe 1992. Matthews and his company followed 23 American fur companies to Tokyo.

Israel kills one, wounds 11 in Lebanon attack
The Associated Press
BEIRUT Lebanon — Israeli artillery and aircraft blasted Arab guerrilla targets in southern Lebanon yesterday, and Shiite Muslim militia unleashed barrages of rockets on Israel in a second day of escalating violence.
A teen-ager was killed, and 11 people were wounded by the Israeli attacks, officials said. No casualties
Lebanon requested an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to protest Israel's actions and help stop the fighting, which has spiraled since Israeli soldiers assassinated Sheik Abbas Musawi, the leader of the pro-Iranian Hexbollah in southern Lebanon, on Sunday.
Lebanon's U.N. ambassador, Kahili Makkawi, urged the United Nations to force Israel from the security zone it occupies in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli attacks on villages were in retaliation for the hacking death of three Israeli soldiers early Saturday, as well as subsequent Herzollah attacks.
Hezbollah, or Party of God, named the Shiite group's Iranian-educated military commander, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, to replace Musawi as secretary-general.
In other developments:
■ Musawi, his wife and their youngest son were buried in their hometown, Nabi Sheet in eastern Lebanon, after an emotional funeral procession attended by about 40,000 mourners.
A senior Palestine Liberation Organization official, Yasser Abed-Rabbo, confirmed yesterday that the Palestinians would attend next week's Middle East peace talks despite the arrest of two Palestinian delegates in Israel.
Seeking revenge for Musawi's killing by Israeli helicopters, Hezbollah gunrillias again fired rockets at northern Israel and the Israeli-occupied zone in southern Lebanon.
Israeli troops retaliated by raining howitzer shells on the villages of Baraasheet, Jibsheet and Zawtar, which Israel's army described as Hezbollah strongholds.
Sub accused of trespassing
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The former Soviet navy charged yesterday that a nuclear-powered U.S. submarine was secretly in Russian waters when it collided with a Soviet sub last week. U.S. officials said the crash occurred in international waters.
The subdued but unambiguous Russian anger over the underwater bump Feb. 11 in the Barents Sea, near the Arctic Ocean, was a throwback to Cold War skirmishes in the Pacific. The countries still have deployed against each other.
No injuries were reported to the crew members of either submarine. Both were nuclear powered and capable of carrying nuclear weapons, but neither side would say whether the ships were loaded.
"The fact that a foreign submarine should be secretly operating within our territorial waters is bound to cause concern in the Russian leadership," said Adm. Ivan Kapitans in a report obtained by the Interfax news agency.
Kapitants, who investigated the collision, suggested the commonwealth and Russian Foreign Ministry send a letter to the United States citing the collision and proposing new talks over a long-standing dispute over territorial waters, the Interfax report said. Soviet-U.S. talks on the boundary became deadlocked in 1990, the Interfax report said.
Russian officials first reported the crash on Friday but did not identify the metal object that collided with the former Soviet submarine, now under command of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Pentagon officials in Washington said they withheld information on the crash from the public until
Secretary of State James Baker could discuss it with Russian President Boris Yeltsin in Moscow this week.
Subs collide
the entrance to Kola Bay about five miles inside the zone claimed as Russian territorial waters.
Under international treaties, territorial waters extend 12 miles from a country's coast.
