BILL AMUSED AT U.S. 1. The Iranian parliament passed a bill yesterday allowing伊朗 to arrest any U.S. citizen who offends it, and fanatics of the Revolutionary Guards whipped up fervor about the seizure of the U.S. Embassy 10 years ago.
Iranian militants stormed the
U.S. embassy Nov. 4, 1979, and held 62
U.S. citizens hostage for 444 days.
Chief Justice Aynalat Mohammad Yazdi said the bill approved by 150 members of the 270-seat parliament responded to the "buling nature" of the United States, referring specifically to a Justice Department ruling that allowed U.S. government agents to pursue and apprehend terrorists in other countries.
The bill must be approved by the Council of Guardians, 12 religious leaders and experts on Islamic law who decide constitutional questions.
BOMB KILLS SEVEN: A bomb exploded and wrecked a leftist union hall in El Salvador's capital yesterday, killing seven people and wounding more than 20.
The bombing was the latest flare-up of violence in El Salvador's decade-old civil war that has killed more than 70,000 people.
The bomb destroyed the entrance of the building housing the National Federation of Salvadoran Workers, a leftist organization.
Earlier yesterday, a bomb exploded at the downtown headquarters of the leftist organization Comadres, injuring four people, including a U.S. citizen.
There was no claim of responsibility for the attack.
TAX BOYCOTT ENDS: The army in the occupied West Bank took down the barricades around the Palestinian town of Belt Sahour yesterday, ending 42 days of seizing goods to crush a tax boycott.
But as hundreds of townpeople celebrated, military authorities said they had succeeded in breaking the revolt, seizing the equivalent of more than $1.5 million to make up for unaided taxes.
The leftist Sandinista government and contra leaders agreed to a truce in March 1988 and Nicaragua has extended it on a monthly basis since, but low-level fighting has continued. The latest extension expired yesterday.
NICAGAUAN TRUCE EXPRESS: Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega disrupted a summit last week by threatening to end a truce with the U.S.-backed contrast, but a rebel leader said yesterday that the Sandinistas were breaking the cease-fire already.
Ortega said his decision was prompted by increasing contra attacks in the past three weeks and a rebel ambush earlier in the week that killed 18 people.
Atlantic wave washes sailors overboard
NORFOLK, Va. — A wave struck a freight elevator on an aircraft carrier as crew members were moving missiles from one deck to another yesterday, sweeping three sailors and 38 missiles into the ocean, the Navy said. Two sailors were rescued.
The Associated Press
Navy planes and ships searched through the day for the third crewman who fell overboard in the third accident on a Navy ship in as many days. The latest occurred on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower during routine operations 90 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., the Navy said in a news release.
One of the two sailors rescued about an hour after the 12:15 a.m. accident yesterday was in serious condition, and the other was in good condition, said Lt. j.g. Karl Johnson, an Atlantic Fleet spokesman. The sailors were being treated aboard ship, he said.
One was pulled from the ocean by helicopter and the other by boat, Johnson said. Their names and that of the missing sailor were withheld pending notification of relatives.
One missing in third recent Navy accident
Eighteen Sparrow and 20 Sidewinder missiles went into the deep
water, but the non-nuclear, air-air missiles missed no risk. The naval said.
"They were not nuclear-powered. They were not armed," said another spokesman, Senior Chief Petty Officer Kevin Kowalski. "Therefore, they're harmless."
The sailors were knocked overboard by a wave as they moved the missiles and other ordinance and gear from the flight deck down to the hangar deck.
The sailors were on an elevator even with the hangar deck, about 20 to 30 feet above the water line, when
the wave hit, said Johnson. The ship reported that it was raining and that waves were running 4 to 8 feet at the time, he said.
Joining in the search for the missing sailor was the destroyer USS Dewey and the guided missile frigate USS Carr, as well as aircraft from the carrier, Johnson said.
On Sunday, a pilot making his first landing on an aircraft carrier crashed on the USS Lexington in the Gulf of Mexico, killing him and four people on the ship. On Monday, a pilot accidentally dropped a bomb on the guided missile cruiser USS Reeves in the Indian Ocean, injuring five sailors.
Bush, Gorbachev plan Mediterranean meeting
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush announced yesterday that he would conduct a shipboard summit in the Mediterranean with Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev on Dec. 2 and 3 "to put up our feet and talk" informally before a full-blown superpower meeting next year.
Bush described the weekend meeting as an open-ended discussion with no fixed agenda. He said neither he nor Gorbache "anticipate that substantial decisions or agreements will
emerge" on arms control or other matters.
The talks will take place on U.S. and Soviet naval ships on alternate days. The precise location was not announced but a site off Italy appeared likely; Gorbachev is scheduled to visit there from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1.
Bush acknowledged he originally had opposed the concept of a get-acquainted meeting, favoring the use of meetings with assurances of concrete results.
However, he decided that with
dramatic democratic changes sweeping across Eastern Europe, the leaders of the two superpowers "should deepen our understanding" of each other.
"I don't want to have two gigantic ships pass in the night because of failed communication," Bush said. "I just didn't want to, in this time of dynamic change, miss something, something that I might get better firsthand from Mr. Gorbachev."
The summit was jointly announced in Washington and in Moscow, where Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze said the talks between the two leaders were "aimed at allowing them to know each other better" and would "contribute to broadening the changes taking place."
The president said he expected "a lot of discussion." about Eastern Europe.
Shevardnadze said the meeting "should be regarded as the most important stage in preparing negotiations, which will take place during the official state visit by Mihail Gorbachev" to the United States next year.
