Belfast, Ireland
Constable suspected in killings
Three people were shot to death yesterday in the offices of the legal wing of the IRA, and police said a suspended constable later found dead was the prime suspect.
It was the most deaths in one incident in Belfast since Jan. 13, 1990, when soldiers killed three men who were mistaken for terrorists as they attempted to hold a betting shop.
Authorities said the officer's body was found in Ballinderry, a town west of Belfast, after he phoned a police station to report he had shot four people and called a second time to say where he was.
Press Association, Britain's national news agency, said the officer worked for the anti-terrorist mobile support unit of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. He was not identified.

French Parliament faces crisis
French President Francois Mitterrand called yesterday for an extraordinary session of Parliament, saying he was willing to risk a no-confidence vote that could bring down his Socialist government.
Mitterrand has been criticized for allowing Palestinian guerrilla leader George Habash to enter France for emergency care January 29, then allowing him to return home.
Four top aides lost their jobs over the scandal, the worst to hit the government since the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior was bombed in a New Zealand harbor by French agents in 1985.
Passage of a no-confidence vote would require the defection of some Socialists, something that has never occurred.
Soldiers rebel in Venezuela
From The Associated Press
The Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — Rebel soldiers tried to overthrow the troubled, elected government of President Carlos Andres Perez early yesterday, cutting off roads to the capital and trying to seize the country's second-largest city.
Heavy machine-gun fire and mortar fire was heard around the Perez's residence and the Presidential Palace when the attempt began shortly after midnight but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
Soldiers were shooting at passing vehicles and pedestrians.
Perez appeared on national television shortly after the shooting began and said loyal troops had defeated a coup attempt by forces led by a paratrooper regiment.
But the attempt clearly had not been quelled and Perez' whereabouts were not known. There was no word from whoever was leading the rebels.
Three hours after the attempt began, sporadic shooting was heard in the capita, and the presidential residence and government palace appeared to be controlled by loyalist troops.
But rebel troops cut off the two main roads into Caracas and troops of undetermined loyalty took over the international airport.
An Associated Press reporter heard heavy gunfire around the presidential residence, in the western La Carota neighborhood, for about 1/2 hours. Then shooting became sporadic.
In Maracaibo, the country's second-largest city and oil capital, rebels surrounded the gubernatorial palace, said reporters in the city.

The past few days have been characterized by indirect warnings from the military that Venezuela was facing threats from inside and abroad.

In some measurements, the chemical was found to be as high as 1.5 parts per billion.

The levels are high enough, he said, to destroy ozone at the rate of 1 percent to 2 percent a day for brief, late-winter periods. With conducive weather conditions, the northern ozone layer could be depleted by 30 percent to 40 percent, he said.
A National Aeronautics and Space Administration report released Monday said aircraft
"Everybody should be alarmed about this," said Michael Kurylo, manager of the upper atmosphere
