20 die after starving crowds attack peace forces in Liberia
MONROVIA, Liberia — At least 20 people were killed after starving people broke into a warehouse yesterday and accidentally set it on fire. A group of military force sent to try to end Liberia's civil war.
The city has been cut off from the outside world for more than two months because of the war, and its last food stocks were exhausted this spring. And some children had begun dying of starvation.
Further details of the fire deaths were not available.

South Korea's leader says Korea cannot stay divided
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean President Roh Tae woo yesterday told North Korea's prime minister their nations must hold a summit to set the stage for eventual unification of the divided countries.
"Korea can't remain the last division nation on Earth separated by Cold War." Roh said at the first meeting between South Korean and North Korean leaders.
it came after two days of historic talks between the prime ministers of the hostile nations.
Roh's meeting at his office with the communist premier, Yong Hyong Muk, was seen as indicating North Korea's tacit recognition of rival South Korea.
The nations, divided since 1945, never have recognized each other officially. The North has ignored past summit proposals and officials did not react publicly to the latest one.
Although talks between Yong and his South Korean counterpart, Kang Yang Hoon, failed to produce any tangible agreements, officials of both sides were upbeat and agreed to meet next month.
"Unlike in the past, there was a realistic discussion," said South Korean Unification Minister Hong Sung-chul. "I think the talks were successful and a step forward."
"I'm optimistic there could be progress," said An Rvont St. sukkesor for North Korea
Most South Koreans remained blase about the talks. They were curious about the dress and manner of the Communist visitors but dismissed them as a sign of negotiations that have lasted four decades.
Koreans talk eagerly about hopes for eventual unification, but those living in the capitalist South doubt it will come soon. Until mail, telephone or internet access is available to two countries, these views seem unlikely to change.

Iraq sends official to Iran
