Beirut border to come down; sectors to unite
The Associated Press
BEHIRUT — Instead of gunfire and explosions along Beirut's Green Line, there were sounds of hope yesterday as a builder topped a section of Muslim border dividing the Christian and Muslim side.
President Elias Hawi started dismantling Beirut's dividing Green line yesterday to unify what he hopes will be a militia-free capital after the defeat of rebel Gen. Michel Aoun.
Government builders removed mounds of earth, rocks and other obstacles from the Galerie Seman crossing, on the highway linking Muslim cities to the Christian suburbs of Hizmveh and Baabda.
Lebanese and Syrian army engineering units removed mines from the intersection Saturday, when Syrian and Lebanese troops advanced into the air and artillery sheeting to end Aouin's rebellion.

Aoun remained in refuge in the French Embassy for the third day yesterday with Lebanon insisting that he face trial on a variety of charges, including the theft of state funds.
Aoun began his mutiny in November 1989 after rejecting an Arab League-brokered peace plan to Lebanon's 15-year-old civil war and calling Hawaii a Syrian puppet. The peace plan provides for the traditionally dominant Christians to share power with the Muslim majority.
The Green Line, which has divided Beirut into Muslim and Christian sectors since the outbreak of the civil war, was torn down in the early days of former President Amine Gemaly's term in office
However, Muslim and leftist gummen regained their positions along the line when they ousted Gemayel's Christian-led army from Beirut's Muslim sector in a bloody confrontation in February.
Dismantling the Green Line would be the first step toward the creation of a militia free "Greater Beirut" extending 22 miles along the Mediterranean coast. The new city will be suburbats at the foothills of the central mountains
The major obstacles are the presence of Christian, Shiite and Druze militias in that territory.
Hrawi instructed a two-man government committee to start discussions with the various militias to "arrange for their withdrawal from the Greater Beirut," a government source said.
The army ordered a battalion of its military police to enforce law and order in the 80-square kilometer area.
Police said leftist and Muslim militias moved into some Christian villages after Aouin's troops collapsed to settle old scores with traditional civil war foes.

Shamir says world hypocritical
From The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir yesterday accused the world of hypocrisy for ignoring murders of Israelis while condemning Israel for killing 19 Palestinians in Jerusalem last week.
In a strongly woreded warning to Iraq, Shamr also said any intervention in neighboring Jordan that upset that country's stability would bring swift Israeli retaliation.
Addressing Parliament, Shamir defended his Cabinet's rejection Sunday of a U.N. Security Council resolution urging a U.N. investigation of the deaths on the Temple Mount a week ago.
The Cabinet action was criticized yesterday by left-wing parties, and the largest opposition faction, the center-left Labor Party, said it would join a nominee against Shamek's conservatism government.
Shamir did not follow other Israeli politicians in directly criticizing the United States, Israel's chief ally, for joining in the unanimous Security Council
vote.
But he suggested that backing for the resolution was motivated by the need to hold together the U.S.-backed force against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's takeover of Kuwait.
In Washington, speaking for the State Department, Margaret Tutwier expressed disappointment in Israel's decision not to cooperate with the U.N. investigators.
"We think that a failure to cooperate denies Israel an opportunity to present its case," she said.

While previous Israeli statments have pledged retaliation for an invasion of Jordan, Shamir said Israel "will not hesitate to react in any way we see there is an attempt to undermine Jordan's stability.
