Purported slander angers Jews
Paris
Israeli and French Jews denounced Yasser Arafat yesterday after the broadcast of a tape-recorded conversation in which the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization supposedly called Jews "dirt."
The PLO envoy in Paris, Ibrahim Souss, who purportedly talked to Arafat during the phone call, denied the conversation ever took place.
Yitzhak Eldan, an Israeli official in Paris, said the comments broadcast Tuesday by Cable News Network illustrated the "double language" of the PLO.
Israelis contend that PLO leaders are conciliatory in public but anti-Jewish in private. PLO officials have been barred from the U.S.-sponsored Middle East peace talks at the insistence of Israel, which contends that Arafat is not sincere about dropping the PLO's goal of destroying the Jewish state.
Car bomb damages embassies
Lima, Peru
Police set up checkpoints and deployed bomb squads throughout the Peruvian capital of Lima yesterday after a car bomb exploded Tuesday night outside the U.S. ambassador's home, killing three police guards.
U. S. officials condemned the attack, which they said destroyed a 30-foot section of the wall outside Ambassador Anthony Quainton's residence and shattered windows at the nearby British and Israeli embassies. Another police guard was seriously injured.
The bombing was one of seven in the capital Tuesday night.
Police said several people were slightly injured in the other attacks—at five banks and a movie theater.

an overloaded treatment plant spewed raw sewage into the ocean.
Dozens of people fled the Ventura Beach RV Resort, but the water rose so fast that occupants of some motor homes, trailers and campers had to take refuge auf their vehicles, awaiting rescue by helicopters and boats.
Susie Riggs Orm fled the RV park for higher ground. "The trailers just started tipping and turning and everything was just a mess." she said. "It was devastating."
Up to 10 inches of rain had fallen in some areas and
At least one motor home was washed out of the park, scraped under a highway bridge and then plunged beneath a coastal railroad bridge as the water forced it out to sea. Another was seen smashed up against the railroad bridge.
Police tried to convince the remaining band and march leader Amanullah Khan to call off an attempt to storm the frontier and enter Indian-controlled Kashmir on Thursday morning, government officials and the militants said.

CHANERI, Pakistan — Pakistani troops fired toward a group of Muslim militants yesterday to halt their march on Indian-controlled Kashmir, killing at least 12. Another 150 were injured in the clash.
150 marchers abandoned the march and returned home.
About 1,000 marchers pushed through rock barricades and past hundreds of police firing tear gas. They used their trekk to the disrupted border.
When they refused, soldiers moved in and surrounded the group. They surrendered without resistance but were later released, the government said.
