Leftists say at least 12 dead after Israelis, Muslims battle
There were no other reports or confirmations of casualties.
An Israeli army unit battled Shite Muslim-
guerrillas and leftist militiamen yesterday
near a village believed used as a base to
hit them with self-declared security zone,
police reported.
Seven Israeli armored personnel carriers advanced into Kawkaba "behind a curtain of howitzer fire at first light," said the police spokesperson.
The estimated 50-member Israeli unit withdrew from the area after shelling troops from the resistance front, a leftist militia and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah, or Party of God, said a police official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Israeli howitzer batteries in the security zone also shelled the Hezbollah-controlled villages of Ein al-Tineh and Maidoun near Kawkab.
A statement by the Lebanese National Resistance Front indicated at least 12 Israeli soldiers were either killed or wounded in the clash around the village of Kawkaba in the Beka'a Valley, about two miles north of the security zone.
He said Syrian troops deployed nearby were not involved.
West African nations question multinational task force's role
West African troops yesterday evacuated 1,000 people hooled up in the mansion of slain President Samuel Doe, but two members of the five-nation task force said they were reconsidering their role in the multinational body.
Tribal reprisal killings continued yesterday, with witnesses reporting rebels loyal to rival leaders Prince Johnson and Charles Taylor hunting down and shooting members of Doe's Krahn tribe and Mandingos accused of supporting Doe.
Nigeria and Ghana expressed uncertainty about their leading role in the task force after reports surfaced that some members stood by while rebels wounded Doe and slaughtered dozens of his aides at the multinational army's headquarters.
Critics accused the force of failing to protect Doe, who died Monday after he was captured by rebels and wounded a day earlier.

Accord affirms Soviet German reconciliation
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — West Germany and the Soviet Union initialed a landmark treaty yesterday intended to eliminate long-standing distrust between the GDR as the powerful new German nation emerges.
The document is also intended as the cornerstone for German help for the battered Soviet economy. Already, West Germany has pledged to give the Soviets $7.6 billion to help cover the damage caused by East Germany. Another $1.9 billion will be contributed in the form of a low-interest loan from Bonn.
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze and his West German counterpart, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, initialed the friendship treaty. A day earlier, both were among the six signatories of the historic agreement clearing the way for German unification.
The actual signing of the friendship accord is expected sometime soon between Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
The Soviets suffered massive losses during World War II. After the war, Moscow's Cold War influence over Communist East Germany was the result of frequent tensions between Bonn and Moscow.
The treaty states that it is of primary importance to "finally be done with the past, and to use understanding and reconciliation to achieve an important contribution toward the overcoming of Europe's division through understanding and reconciliation."
With Germany to set reunite Oct. 3, Bonn and Moscow want to lay a solid foundation for relations that have been steadily improving the past two years.
"Now we can with justification say that the pastur period is over." Genscher elated said
As the two nations were planning closer relations, the Soviet news agency Tass reported that Bonn had denied a visa for Tass for German bureau chief in West Germany. The West German Foreign Minister could neither confirm nor deny the report that Sergis Novosovsky was being barred from the country.
Tass said that as relations between the countries improve, "the denial of a visa to a Soviet journalist representing a world news agency can only leave observers perplexed.
"The journalist has been denied a possibility of providing objective information, which is expected by Tass subscribers in the Soviet Union and abroad," the state-run news agency said.
Soviet statues out of style
The Associated Press
EAST BERLIN — A towering Soviet soldier smashes a swastika with a giant sword. Marx stares at passing traffic. Cars roll down Ho Chi Minh. Lepins tugs on his land.
Germany is less than three weeks away from becoming a single bastion of Western capitalism, but much of the new nation will be filled with tomatos to the old East Germany.
While leaders argue over how to pay for unification and East Germans worry about their jobs, many towns are wondering what to do with all the statues, streets, squares and schools dedicated to them.
It is a problem more complex than merely the street signs and carting away scowling stone and brick.
In southern East Germany, Karl Marx City wasted little time reclaiming its historical name.
But it is taking longer to decide what to do with Karl himself, a huge, glowing blower that dwarfs tourists who stare at his gargantuan head in the heart of town.
No community has taken a greater interest in this issue than East Berlin, the showcase of the former Communist government and the historic heart of what will be the capital of a united nation.
About 800 postwar monuments dot the cityscape, some of them centerepiece of town squares. In Ne朋培帖, the scowling Soviet revolutionary in Leningrad, his armor lies on his hand on his laurel and the other cleret at his side.
In Marx-Engels Platz, Engels stands erect while Marx sits at his side, his huge lap a favorite place for the artist.
A committee of artists and historians convened last week to begin a monument by monument apportionment.
