U.N. blames ambush on Aidid
Seven Nigerian soldiers die in Sunday's attack
The Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia — The United Nations blamed an ambush that killed seven Nigerian soldiers on warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidd, and a U.S. official said the attack demonstrated the need to capture quickly the fugitive leader.
The attack was the deadliest assault on U.N. peacekeepers in Somalia since June, when 24 Pakistani soldiers died. Seven Nigerian soldiers and a U.S. diplomat were wounded Sunday. A Nigerian soldier also was missing.
The Nigerian commander accused the Italian U.N. contingent of not providing adequate rations.
Later Sunday, Somali fighters fired on a U.N. airfield, and American troops in helicopters responded by attacking the Somali mortar position with cannons and rockets, a U.N. representative in Mogadishu said.
Representative Maj. David Stockwell said he had no of ksumon or U.N.
casualties. He said the Somali fighters took cover in a nearby building used as a hospital, and the U.N. forces held their fire.
The seven Nigerians were killed as they went to the aid of other U.N. peacekeepers surrounded by a mob of stone-throwing Somalis.
Capt, Tim McDavitt, a U.N. military representative, said the platoon of Nigerian soldiers returned fire for at least half an hour, but it was not known if there were any Somali casualties.
Somali bystanders said at least 30 of their countrymen were killed or wounded.
McDavitt said that in addition to the seven Nigerians killed and seven wounded, one was missing. Somali bystanders said one Nigerian, a sergeant, had been captured.
An unidentified American diplomat attached to the U.S. liaison office in Mogadishu was shot in the chest after he and five colleagues apparently stumbled into the ambush, the official said. The diplomat later was listed in fair to good condition at an U.S. military hospital.
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali deplored the deaths, and said they demonstrated "the urgent need" to disarm all of Somalia's factions.
Retired Adm. Jonathan Howe, the U.N. special envoy to Somalia, called the ambush a "wanton, unprovoked and premeditated attack" and blamed it on Aidd.
Robert Gosende, the U.S. special representative in Somalia, said the attack emphasized the need to quickly capture Aidid, who has been waging an urban guerrilla war against the United Nations for months.
The commander of Nigerian forces in Somalia, Lt. Col. Oyinolimo, heatly accused Italian troops of not coming to the aid of his soldiers, underscoring divisions within the 29-nation U.N. force.
Reporters visiting the scene hours after the ambush occurred saw Italian soldiers lolling behind their sandbags, with the bodies of four Nigerians clearly visible several hundred yards down the road.
Italian officials suggested hard-nosed U.N. tactics were to blame for the clash.
Arafat takes peace plan to Egypt
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — Yasser Arafat brought his campaign to sell the Palestine Liberation Organization-Israeli peace agreement to Egypt yesterday after receiving lukewarm support in Syria.
The PLO Executive Committee meeting could begin this week. Israel has already approved the deal.
If Assad's backing materializes, it could help Arafat secure approval for the plan from the PLO's ruling Executive Committee. Hard-line PLO factions based in Damascus are represented in the ruling body, and Assad has influence over them, although he does not control them.
Before arriving in Egypt, the only Arab country that has given wholehearted support to the plan, the PLO chief picked up endorsements for the accord from the Gulf Cooperation Council, a six-nation group led by Saudi Arabia.
The agreement calls for Palestinian self-rule in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank town of Jericho — a small portion of the Arab land Israel has occupied since 1967.
It called the accord "a first step toward reaching a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement to the Palestinian problem and the Arab-Iraeli conflict."
in Syra, Arafat met for six and one-half hours with President Hafez Assaf, who asked to study the plan more fully. The PLO took Assad's request as an expression of support, with reservations, a PLO official said in Cairo, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Radical Palestinian groups and even members of Arafat's own faction have said the agreement contains no guarantees for a Palestinian state and avoids dealing with the status of Jerusalem, Israeli settlements and the 3.5 million Palestinian refugees who live outside the occupied territories.
Muslim fundamentalist groups oppose any deal with Israel.
After Arafat's visit to Damascus, Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa went to Lebanon, apparently to try to soften Lebanese outrage over the PLO's separate deal with Israel. Israel was exchanging mortar fire with Lebanese militias less than a week ago.
Sources at the headquarters of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine — the two largest groups in the PLO after Arafat's Fatah faction — said they rejected Arafat's request for meetings in Damascus.
In Egypt, Arafat was likely to have an easier time.
Egypt's foreign policy is based on its peace with Israel, which President Anwar Sadat signed in 1979, and friendship with the United States. Arafa and most other Arabs broke relations with Cairo because of that peace agreement.
