Iraq captures 1,000 troops shells Iranian border cities
Iraqi warplanes bombed Iran's major border cities yesterday and its ground forces captured more than 1,000 Iranian troops in a 12-hour
The battle marked the bloodiest fighting of the 28-month Persian Gulf war.
"The isolated Iranian force tried to flee but our forces completely encircled it, blocking all reinforcement and withdrawal routes, leaving no choice for them but either to surrender or be wiped out," the Iraqi command said.
Tehran Radio reported, however. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini told foreign delegates participating in the fourth anniversary of his takeover that Iran's forces were victorious in the battles so far.
The Kuwaiti News Agency said official Tehran Radio broke into its regularly scheduled broadcast to report Iraq air strikes on the Islamic State.
Iran launched Monday what it said would be the "final offensive" but the Iran military said the attack was repulsed.
Claims increase for jobless benefits
WASHINGTON — The Labor Department yesterday reported the largest increase since mid-November in new claims for state unemployment benefits, amid signs the number of long-term unemployed people is growing.
Business and labor economists viewed the report as an indication that the nation's unemployment problems may not have peaked, despite a rise in job numbers.
A House Appropriations subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday that would help states make unemployment payments by adding $8 billion to the $6.8 billion trust fund that lends money to states for that purpose.
Initial claims for jobless checks, considered by economists as an indicator of job market health, soared by 52,000 to 517,000 in the week ending Jan. 29, the department said.
Arms sales to Taiwan irk Chinese
PEKING — Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Xueqen said yesterday that Secretary of State George Shultz' visit was "useful," but that U.S.-China relations could expand only if U.S. arms sales to Taiwan were scaled down.
Wu spoke at the first formal news conference held by a Chinese foreign minister for Peking-based foreign correspondents in 18 years. Wu reiterated that Taiwan was still "the main obstacle" in U.S.-Chinese relations.
Wu reiterated that Taiwan was still "the main obstacle" in U.S.-Chinese relations.
He said China was "carefully studying" the sale of 66 ageing F-104 jettfighters to Taiwan to see whether it violated an Aug. 17 agreement between the United States and China on the sale of U.S. arms to Taiwan, which China regards as a rebel province.
The sale was announced Tuesday, two days after Shultz ended a four-day visit to Peking for talks on Taiwan and other disputes clouding U.S. China relations.
Church rejects British disarmament
LONDON — The Church of England said yesterday that Britain should keep its nuclear weapons as a deterrent but added that the first use of such weapons could never be morally justified.
After an impassioned six-hour debate on the morality of nuclear weapons, the Anglican church's 550-member governing synod voted overwhelmingly on a show of hands against unilateral disarmament by Britain.
The bishops, clerics and lay people then voted 275 to 222 in favor of a proposal that "even a small scale first use of nuclear weapons could be used."
The synod said it believed "there is a moral obligation on all countries
pollutants to forego the first use of nuclear weapons in any form."
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization says it would never be first to initiate any attack, either conventional or nuclear.
Poll says French want Barbie killed
PARIS — A majority of the French are willing to bring back the guillotine so that Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie can be executed, said a poll published yesterday.
The survey published in the weekly magazine VSD was conducted on the three days following the expulsion of Barbie from Bolivia and his imprisonment in the Lyon jail where he is said to have conducted a two-year reign of terror from 1942, earning him the nickname "Butcher
Barbie was returned to France Saturday and charged with "crimes against humanity." He had lived in Bolivia for 32 years.
In an interview published in a West German magazine, the former head of the Gestapo in Lyon said, "I stand by what I was and what I
He also denied that he murdered French Resistance leader Jean Moulin.
U.S. seeks chemical weapons ban
GENEVA, Switzerland — The United States proposed yesterday that all of the world's chemical weapons and their production facilities be closed.
But there must be “systematic international on-site inspection” to ensure that all stockpiles and factories are destroyed, U.S. delegate says.
He said progress on a chemical weapons ban, under discussion at the conference since 1977, had been prevented by Soviet retusal to accept
Dogs out as Bali purges foreign pets
"The Soviet Union needs to demonstrate, rather than simply profess, that it is genuinely ready to work out and accept effective provisions to counter them."
Washington has charged that there was a leak at a chemical weapons plant in the Soviet city of Sverdlovsk and that Moscow and its allies are using chemical weapons in Southeast Asia and Afghanistan.
DJAKARTA, Indonesia — In an unusual display of xenophobia,
Indonesia's resort island of Bali is throwing out pets of foreign origin —
and dogs are suffering the most.
Authorities in Bali have expelled 1,378 dogs of foreign breeding this month and killed 56 others that could not find asylum outside the popular resort island, a spokesman said yesterday.
Nine monkeys and a squirrel of foreign breeding have also been declared "anima non gratura," but their fate was still unknown.
Bali Gov. Ida Bagas Mantra, reviving an old regulation on rabies issued under the Dutch colonial rule, outlawed all dogs and pets of the Malay people.
Local authorities said Bali was rabies-free and described Mantra's ruling as "a preventive measure." Only pets of foreign breeding are suspected of being potential carriers of rabies.
Cabinet vote forces Sharon's resignation
By United Press International
JERUSALEM — Israel's Cabinet yesterday adopted the recommendations of the commission that investigated the Beirut massacre and, in effect, fired Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, a senior official said.
Sharon resigned after the commission report was adopted, according to a letter from her son.
The 16-1 vote followed a grenade explosion in a crowd of Peace Now demonstrators outside the Cabinet meeting, killing one person and injuring nine others who were calling for Sharon's ouster.
Earlier, there were reports of death threats made against the head of the commission that investigated Israel in the massacre for four months.
"ONE WAY OR ANOTHER he is out," the official said of Sharon, who adamantly rejected calls for the last three days that he resign or be fired as a judicial inquiry into the massacre of Palestinians in Beirut recommended.
Sharon cast the sole vote against his dismissal in the 17-member cabinet, a senior official close to Prime Minister Menachem Begin said.
It said he bore "personal responsibility" for the killings because he ordered Israeli-backed Christian militants to attack him and Chatilla camps last Sept. 16, 18
"Legally he is still defense minister, the official said. 'In actu
Begin's spokesman Uri Porath said, "The legal questions surrounding
The commission report also censured virtually the entire civilian and military command of the Israeli government, saying that in some way civilian officials bore "indirect" responsibility for the killings.
Sharon's removal will be ironed out in the next couple of days one way or another."

A senior Israeli official said earlier Begin did not want to fire Sharon. This would leave Begin the options of resigning himself, possibly forming a new cabinet without Sharon or placing him in a lesser ministry, or calling new

"THIS WAS INDESCRIBABLE and intolerable," said Interior Minister Josef Burg, who runs the national police and whose only son, Avraham Burg, was among the wounded. Armed Forces Radio said.

"horrifying and shocking," and added:
"The heart weeps over the young man

possible and in public, the insane person or the insane people who were murdered.
A policemen said at least two policemen had been wounded in the attack.
AMBULANCES RUSHED TO THE scene, taking the injured to hospitals. Police poured into the area, using clubs to push people away
The Cabinet, in its third consecutive day of debate on the commission's recommendation, had been meeting for hours when the explosion occurred.
It first heard Maj. Gen. Yvesoshua Saguy, military intelligence chief, and Brig. Gen. Amos Yaron, the former commander of the Beirut area, plead for their careers.
The commission on the massacre found both generals derelict of duty. The report called for Saguy to resign from field command for three years.
