THE NEWS in brief
CAIRO, Egypt
International observers sent to enforce peace in Israeli-occupied town
A month after the massacre in Hebron, the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel sat down again yesterday to negotiate Palestinian self-rule after Israel revered itself and accepted international observers on occupied lands.
The talks began immediately after the two sides agreed to send 160 observers armed with pistols to Hebron and pledged to speed up the Israeli army's pullout, which was supposed to have begun in December.
The PLO suspended the talks after a Jewish settler killed 30 Palestinians praying at a Hebron mosque on Feb. 25. The massacre provoked riots throughout the territories and prompted Palestinian demands for international protection.
Acceptance of the observers marked a sharp change in policy for the Jewish state and drew sharp criticism from Israeli hard-liners. Palestinian militants, who had demanded settlers leave Hebron, argued it wasn't enough.
Israel previously has resisted any foreign presence in the territories as a challenge to its sovereignty. The PLO, capitalizing on worldwide sympathy after the massacre, sought as wide a representation as possible to underscore its move toward self-mule.
Under the agreement, 160 observers from Norway, Denmark and Italy will be deployed in Hebron for three months, with the possibility of staying longer.
The size of the force — larger than Israel wanted — was set after the PLO drew its demand that Palestinian police also be posted in Hebron.
The international observers will be armed with pistols "for self-defense" and will report to a committee consisting of Hebron's Palestinian mayor, one representative of the PLO and two from Israel, the pact said.
Army sent to quell violence
PRETORIA, South Africa
President F.W. de Klek declared a state of emergency and ordered the army into the Zulu stronghold of Natal yesterday, directly challenging the fiery Zulu leader who opposes the upcoming all-race elections.
De Klerk's move was aimed at stemming the violence in the province and ensuring Natal residents could vote. But it could result in a bloody showdown with Zulu nationalist leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi and his warriors.
Buthelezi, who also heads the Zulu-dominated Ikkatha Freedom Party, called the troop deployment an "invasion" of KwaZulu, the Zulus' self-governed homeland within Natal. He said the sight of South African soldiers would only stoke his followers' wrath.
Speaking on state television last night, Buthelezi said further talks between him and the government on whether Inkatha would drop its boycott of the April 26-28 elections were unlikely.
Buthelezi said his party was "being coerced into the process through the barrel of the gun." He questioned whether fair elections could be held under a state of emergency.
Buthelezi and his nephew, Zulu King Goodwill Zweelethi, are demanding an independent kingdom and say they fear that an expected victory by their main rival, the African National Congress, will crush the rights of 7 million Zulus.
ROME
Neo-Fascists join government.
Bolstered by growing voter support, the political heirs of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini are set to join a government headed by media magnate Silvio Berlusconi.
The National Alliance's leader, Gianfranco Fini, confirmed in a television interview that he would not be in the government but that his party would be given Cabinet posts.
Newspapers reported yesterday that Berlusconi reached an agreement with his allies, the autonomy-mitted Northern League and the National Alliance, formerly the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, on sharing Cabinet posts.
In parliamentary elections, the National Alliance won about 15 percent of the vote, a dramatic gain from 6 percent in 1992. That still put it third in the alliance behind the Northern League and Berlusconi's Forza Italia (Let's Go Italy) movement.
After the right swept to victory, scores of youthful National Alliance supporters ralled in Rome's Piazza del Popolo early Tuesday yelling "Duce! Duce!" and giving the stuff-armed fascist salute. Mussolini, who ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943, was called II Duce.
WASHINGTON Japan top trade 'hit list'
WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration took the first step yesterday toward establishing a "hit list" of countries judged to have erected the most harmful trade barriers to American products as it continued to turn up the pressure on Japan.
The administration released a 281-page report in which it cited 35 countries and four trading blocs for alleged unfair trading practices.
This report, known as the "National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers" will serve as the basis for targeting a much smaller list of nations by Sept. 30 for possible trade sanctions if they do not agree to remove the offending barriers.
While nations from Argentina to Australia were cited in the report, administration officials left no doubt that the primary focus was on Japan.
Ira Shapiro, general counsel for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representatives, said this year's report showed significant progress had been made globally in reducing barriers, especially with the December completion by 147 nations of negotiations on a new global trade pact that would cut tariffs and remove other barriers.
