U.S. deputy general leaves Somalia
"It's time to get out," said Maj. Gen. Thomas Montgomery, who stepped down as U.N. deputy commander but remained as the commander of the diminishing number of U.S. forces.
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Unceremoniously removing his blue beret, the American deputy commander of U.N. forces in Somalia left his post yesterday, marking an end to direct U.S. involvement in the U.N. peace-keeping mission.
It was a humanitarian mission credited with saving more than 100,000 Somalis from dying of hunger. But
clashes between U.N. troops and faction fighters left 33 Americans dead as well as hundreds of Somali, including many non-combatants.
President Clinton ordered the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from the Horn of Africa nation by March 31 after 18 Americans were killed in a botched raid in October.
Currently, about 4,500 U.S. troops remain on the ground in Somalia, down from more than 20,000 a year ago. Their withdrawal will escalate rapidly in the next few weeks.
Although no longer under U.N. command, the withdrawing American
The American withdrawal — accompanied by the pullout of eight other nations, including France, Belgium, Italy and Germany — has given rise to fears among some relief groups and others that Somalia will descend again into anarchy.
force will continue to provide a shield for remaining U.N. troops, Montgomery said.
Although about 22,000 soldiers from Third World nations will stay behind, the gradual withdrawal of Western military forces already has brought a marked increase in banditry and attacks on civilian aid agencies.

THE NEWS in brief
Peace talks take place between Arafat, Peres about removing troops
PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres began discussions yesterday on the start of the long-delayed withdrawal of Israel's troops from the Gaza Strip and Jericho.
The decision to renew the stalled negotiations came after more than a week of bickering and strenuous mediation by Egypt that apparently included a series of phone calls yesterday morning.
At midmorning, officials at PLO headquarters in Tunis said Arafat would not be meeting Peres, but they later said the PLO leader had reversed his decision.
Peres said before departing from Tel Aviv that Israel wanted to move forward in the peace talks, but has not changed its position.
Neither Israeli nor Palestinian officials predicted an immediate agreement from yesterday's meeting — a contrast to the optimism over the two men's last discussions in Davos, Switzerland, a little more than a week ago.
In Jerusalem, Gad Ben-Ari, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, said yesterday's meeting was not expected to produce a signed agreement.
Under the Israeli-PLO accord signed Sept. 13 in Washington, Israeli troops were to begin withdrawing in mid-December to turn over day-to-day running of Gaza and Jericho to Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization.
Saeed Kamal, the PLO envoy to Egypt, said the two leaders probably would meet again today but added it would take longer to iron out disagreements over Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank town of Jericho.
But in the negotiations since October, the two sides could not agree on who would guard borders from the Palestinian areas to Jordan and Egypt, the size of the Jericho area and how to protect Jewish settlers remaining in Gaza.

Olympic ice dancer's brother denies guilt
The brother of Olympic ice dancer Elizabeth Punsalan pleaded not guilty yesterday to aggravated murder in the stabbing of his father.
Ricardo Punsalan, 20, was allowed to meet briefly with family members before the hearing, at which he waived a preliminary hearing. Municipal Judge Gustalo Nunez ordered him held without bond while a grand jury hears evidence against him.
Elizabeth Punsalan was not in the courtroom.
Thomas Schmidt, Sheffield Lake police chief, said Ernesto Punsalan, 57, was sleeping Friday night at the family's home 20 miles west of Cleveland when his son stabbed him twice in his chest with a large knife.
Schmidt said the son admitted the slaying after his mother, Theresa Punsalan, called police. Schmidt wouldn't comment on a motive.
Elizabeth Punsalan said Sunday that her brother had been mentally ill for a long time, and a recent change in his medication could have caused a violent reaction.
Punsalan, 23, said she still planned to be in the Olympic ice-dancing competition with her husband and partner, 27-year-old Jerod Swallow.
