Angolan rebels report significant victory
By United Press International
LISBON, Portugal — Angolan anti-
commist insurgents yesterday
claimed the biggest victory of their
eight year guerrilla war, saying they
were overrun 50 government troops and
foreigners and had overrun a provincial
capital.
Official Angolan government sources confirmed the battle but reported much smaller losses and said the assault was repelled. A Western diplomat warned
that the rebel report, if true, could jeopardize Angola's 6-week-old cease-fire agreement with South Africa.
The National Union for Angola's Total Independence said the dead in Sunday's battle included seven Soviets, 62 Cubans, 12 Bulgarians and more than 500 Angolan soldiers. Five Italian technicians also were killed, it said.
UNITA said its 5,000-man rebel force also captured four Bulgarians, 10 Portuguese and 65 Angolans in the six-hour battle for Sumbe, the capital
of the province of South Kwanza. The Atlantic port has a population of about 15,000.
Government forces counterattacked with MIG fighters and Soviet-built MI-25 helicopter gunships but the air force "disappeared" after the rebels downed two of the helicopters, UNITA said in a formal statement.
It said the rebels also freed 1,200 people from the city's jails. It reported 49 of its own forces dead or missing and 103 wounded.
In a dispatch monitored in Lisbon, ANGOP, the official Angolan news agency, confirmed the attack but said it was "still too immediate" and routed the attackers.
ANGOP said "armed bandits" killed eight "pacific civilians" and wounded 40, while suffering 42 killed or captured. Troops were pursuing the rebels, who withdrew holding several Angolans and foreigners hostage, the agency said.
There was no immediate independent confirmation of the fighting.
Trabanino blamed the delay in counting votes partially on Marxist-led guerrillas, who blackout 90 percent of the country on election eve, mined highways and battled troops to disrupt the elections.

Election Commissioner Jaime
Elections officials said that a black-out, which still affected Chalatenango and La Paz provinces yesterday, had delayed vote counting in the provinces and slowed the delivery of results to San Salvador.
The Christian Democratic Party, or PDC, in its own unofficial count, said Duarte finished first with 45 percent of the total votes, d'Aubusson second with 28.4 percent and Guerrero well behind in third.
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Christian Democrat Jose Napoleon Duarte led the first official results yesterday in El Salvador's presidential election. Rightist candidate Roberto d'Aubuisson was in second place.
If the Christian Democrat figures are correct, Duarte and d'Aubusson will face each other in a run-off 30 days. The constitution is approved by the constituent assembly
The official count began a day behind schedule. Political leaders blamed the election commission for the delay. The

government claimed guerrilla attacks were responsible.
Duarte leads in El Salvador's election results
The first results came from eastern San Vicente province. Officials said it could take five days to count all the votes.
The Central Election Commission said Duarte, a liberal, led with 11,029 votes. d'Aubusson of the Nationalist Republican Alliance had 10,947 and Francisco Jose Guerrero of the National Conciliation Party had 7,471.
