Five of Sadat's assassins executed
CAIRO, Egypt—Five Moslem zealots convicted in the assassination of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat were executed at dawn yesterday a few hours after their plea for mercy was rejected by President Hosni Mubarak.
Two of the men were shot to death as soldiers at a desert firing range east of Cairo, and the other three were hanged as civilians from a prison gallows near the city.
During the stormy three-month assassination trial, one of the convicted men, Lt. Khaled Al-Islamboul, 24, emerged as a hero of Egypt's increasingly militant Moslem fundamentalists by boasting of leading the machine run and grenade attack that killed Sadat and seven other people.
"I killed Sadat and I confess this and I am proud of it because the cause of religion was at stake," Al-Islambouli declared at a rare public session of the trial.
27 killed in West Beruit fighting
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Rival Lebanese and Palestinian gunmen using artillery and mortar fire battled throughout West Beirut for the third day yesterday, leaving 27 people dead in the worst fighting the capital has seen in nearly a year.
Several shells hit the campus of the American University of Beirut and ripped into apartment buildings in the nearby Hamra commercial district,
The battles followed the breakdown of a five-hour cease-fire negotiated in the morning between Lebanese Communists, pro-Iraqi forces and Palestinians on one side, and Shite Moslem gunmen of the pro-Iranian Amal Movement on the other.
Wayne Williams declared indigent
The fighting has its roots in the Iran-Iraq war and the Arab-Israeli conflict, as well as local disputes.
Clarence Cooper, Superior Court judge, ruled Williams' future court costs, which included a $10,000 transcript from the convicted murderer's two clients.
ATLANTA—Wayne Williams, convicted of slaying two of 28 young blacks murdered in Atlanta during a year-per week, was declared indigent and released.
The transcript will be used by Williams' attorneys to support their claims for a new trial.
Williams, a black 23-year free-lance photographer and talent scout, was convicted Feb. 27 of killing Jimmy Ray Payne, 21, and Nathaniel Cater, 27. He also was linked by court testimony to nine of the 26 other slayings and a 10th that was never added to the task force list.
