English animal lovers mail bombs
LONDON — Animal-right militants sent letter bombs to five targets in England yesterday, including Britain's agriculture minister and Canada's diplomatic mission, apparently to protest the annual seal slaughter in Newfoundland, police said.

Hijacker frees hostages for a trip to Cuba

MEXICO CITY — An Iranian immigrant upset over U.S. policy toward his homeland hijacked a flight over Texas yesterday, ordered it to a Mexican border town and freed all 21 hostages in exchange for a trip to Cuba, officials said.

Mexican officials identified the hisacker, as Hussein Sheh Kholya, an
POLICE SAID THAT Kholya dressed in dive-braid camouflage pants and still carrying his automatic rifle — was not officially under arrest.
Airport official Alejandro García said authorities told him the police questioning was the first step toward fulfilling a promise to fly Kholya to Cuba — something he demanded for the release of the 22 hostages.
Federal Security Police chief Jose
Antonio Zorrilla said Kholyai hijacked
the plane because he wanted to protest
U.S. treatment of Iran.
Zorrilla said Kholya plumed to read a statement to that effect in Nuevo Laredo. There was no explanation why the statement was not read.
The hostages were freed in two groups, airport officials said. Six passengers were released just after the plane landed in Nuevo Laredo and the remaining 15 hostages were let go just before the gunman boarded the Mexican jet.
MARK CONNELL, vice chairman and chief executive officer of Rio Airways, a commuter airline with headquarters in Killeen, Texas, said the hijacked plane was Flight 253 from Killeen to Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport.
He said the aircraft was a de Havilland-7, a four-engine, 48-passenger airplane.
The plane was seized yesterday morning south of Dallas and ordered to Nuevo Laredo, located across the Rio Grande from Laredo, Texas. The pilot broadcast a hijack code to ground stations and flew to Nuevo Laredo.
Connell said the plane carried 17 passengers, two company employees and a crew of three.
Margarito Mariscal, a state police official in Nuevo Laredo, said the gunman was armed with a AR-15 semi-automatic rifle that he apparently slipped on board the plane inside his luggage with possibly a bomb.

But Alan Greenspan, who is chairman of the presidential panel that assembled the rescue package, said the odds in favor of the plan keeping Social Security solvent are "at least 2 to1 and may be significantly higher."

The National Commission on Social Security Reform proposed hiking payroll taxes, freezing benefits for six months, taxing half the benefits of better-off pensioners and requiring new federal workers to join Social Security next year.
Dole said he hoped his committee also would raise the 65-year retirement age, an unofficial proposal of a commission majority. That would set off a battle with House Democrats, whose leaders oppose it, although the proposal won support yesterday from Sen. David Boren, D-Okla.
