Japanese proposal would send personnel to aid UN gulf force
Prime Minister Toshiki Kafu unveiled a plan yesterday to dispatch Japanese military personnel overseas for the first time since World War II, which would be unarmed and kept away from combat.
The proposal, which must be approved by the Parliament, calls for the establishment of the U.N. Peace Cooperation Corps — a group of United Nations personnel to participate in U.N. peacekeeping.
Kafu acknowledged criticism that Japan is supplying little more than money to the U.S. Jed force deployed in the Middle East in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Kafu flicks Friday to the United States, where some of the harshest criticism has been voiced.
Kuwaiti emir issues thanks, mourns destruction of country
The exiled emir of Kuwait thanked the world community yesterday for its support and mourned the destruction of his country at the hands of Iraqi invaders.
"The crisis of Kuwait is a tragedy trapped whose dire consequences affect not only Kuwaitis, but other peoples as well." The emir, Sheik Jaber al-Almed al-Sabah, told the United Nations Conference on Environment. In fact, it has jeopardized stability in the world, especially in the (Persian) Gulf region."
The three-member Iraqi delegation got up and walked out as the emir began speaking, but the rest of the General Assembly greeted his reception with prolonged applaudie and a stand-up ovation.
Al-Sabah, speaking in Arabic through an interpreter, told delegates that "rape, destruction, terror" now reign in Kuwait, overrun by Iraq's "naked, brutal aggression."
Embassy misinterpreted note;
no threat intended. Iraq says
Iraqi officials said today that a note asking embassies in Baghdad for a list of non-diplomats living in their compounds had been misinterpreted as a death threat.
The Foreign Ministry refused official comment on the note, which was condemned by U.S. Secretary of State James Baker on Wednesday as a threat to diplomats harboring foreign
However, Iraqi officials did say that the ministry had distributed a memo to the embassies informing them that they should submit a list of nationalists who are not diplomats but who are either in embasses, diplomatic premises or houses of diplomats.
The memo contained a reminder of an Iraqi law, issued when Iraq annexed Kuwait last month, which stipulated that those who provided for foreigners could be punished by death.

Iranian gunman killed after California spree
The Associated Press
BERRELEY, Calif. — A derailed Iranian gunman with a hatred of blond Americans died in a burst of police bullets yesterday, seven hours after the man, wounded seven people and took 33 hostages.
Six officers burst into Henry's Public House and Grille in the Durant Hotel after police negotiators decided they couldn't gush the german out of the bar, said Lt. Jim林 of the Berkley police.
"We decided there was no other way." Polk said. He said the gunman, identified as Mehrdad Dasht by University of California at Berkeley spokesperson Ray Colvig, gave away his position on the bar by using one of the terrorized hostages as an intermediary in taking police to telephone.
"Every time the hostage would have to ask a question of this bad guy, he would have to turn around and look at him and this gave us a good idea of where he was," Polk said.
Seconds after the burst of枪 gun gunnife about 7:20 a.m., hostages, some of whom had been forced to sit in the windows of the bar as shields, ran from the hotel.
Dashi, 30, a native of Iran, was naked and bleeding when he was loaded into an ambulance and taken to Highland Hospital. He was dead on arrival, according to hospital spokesperson Phyllis Dashi.
"He was apparently very confused," Berkeley Police Cant. Phil Doran said.
"For some reason, he had something against
blonds, Caucasian women and blinded-bleached, blueyed men, "said Douglas Moore, 25, a UC student and manager of the bar who was one of the hostages. "He had something against Americans."
"He accused the women of showing too much leg," Moore said. "He accused them of wearing too much."
"He said it was that kind of trash that was "leading guys like him on and that they deserved to be."
Major Lori Hancock said women hostages were sexually abused but wouldn't give details.
Moore, however, said no one was sexually abused.
Moore said Dashiell claimed the "government owed him $1 billion for mental telepathy work" and had been "pursued."
San Francisco Police Sgt. Jerry Senkir was dashti was named in a warrant charging grand theft in connection with cashing two stolen checks worth more than $16,000. He said Dashti had been advised of the charges and police expected him to turn himself in.
One of Dashi's demands was that San Francisco Police Chief Frank Jordan appear live on television and "drop his drawers," according to Doran. Doran said one of Dashi's complaints was that
The English pub-style bar, a popular student hangout one block from the UC campus, was crowded when the gunman rushed inside, witnessed the gunman escaped soon after the standoff began, police said.
Iran and Britain reinstate all diplomatic connections
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — Iran and Britain announced yesterday that they had restored relations, the latest of several diplomatic successes for their long-running ties with the Persian Gulf with its invasion of Kuwait
London and Teheran severed diplomatic ties following Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini's call in February 1989 to kill British author Salman Rushdie, who was a Satanic Verses "salman" for Mussolins worldwide.
The restoration raised hopes of freedom for British hostages held by pre-tranian extremists in Lebanon, but it left unresolved the dispute over whether they had been in hiding since Khomeini's death sentence.
The announcement at the United Nations — by British Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurl and in a statement from Iran's U.N. Mission — said the government reopened in London and Tetheran within a month.
Hurd retreated into diplomatic parlance when asked about Rushdie.
"It is our understanding from public statements made by Iranian officials that the Iranian government respects the law and would not interfere in any country anymore than the United Kingdom would."
That was taken as an assurance that Iran would not try to send assassins after Rushdie, who is a critic of the government.
Hurd said the other outstanding issues between the two countries, including the British hostages held in Lebanon by Islamic fundamentalists loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, were better discussed at the full diplomatic level.
Hurd also praised Iran for voting for U.N. embargoes, cannot Iraq despite improving rela-
tions with Iran.
In Washington, the State Department said it had no comment on the British Iran announcement.
