Family questions death of son
DOUGLAS. Ariz. — The family of a teen-ager who was allegedly tortured to death in a Mexican jail vowed yesterday to see that the truth comes out, although guards have maintained the youth committed suicide.
injured Juan Pedro Sierra-Rocha, 17, died Oct. 12 in a jail cell at Agua Prieta, Sonora, just over the border from Douglas.
Mexican police said the youth hanged himself a few hours after he was arrested as a robbery suspect. But Cochise County Coroner Dr. Guery Flores said he found evidence police tortured the youth to death with an electric cattle prod and peppered water.
Two Agua Prieta doctors who performed an autopsy ruled Sierra-Rocha's death a suicide.

Iraq could restore ties to U.S., diplomats say
By United Press International
BAGHADD, Iraq — Iraq is on the verge of restoring diplomatic relations with Egypt and may re-establish formal diplomatic ties with the United States following next month's presidential elections. Western and Arab diplomats said yesterday.
"The renewal of diplomatic relations with Egypt is imminent," a well-placed Arab diplomat said.
The diplomat said Iraq was certain to become "by the end of November" the second Arab country to formally end the 5-year diplomatic and economic boycott
Earlier this month, Jordan became the first Arab state to re-establish diplomatic relations with Egypt. Jordan and Iraq joined 15 other Arab states in 1979 to break off relations with Egypt to protest the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.
Some Arab states have proposed convening an Arab summit next month, at which relations with Egypt would figure prominently. But one Arab diplomat said Iraq appears ready to restore relations in any case.
"The stage is set for Iraq, irrespective of the summit conference," the diplomat said.
Earlier this week, Egyptian President Hussein discussed the latest tightening in the Hussein discusses the latest tightening in the
Iran-Iraq war in a telephone call initiated by Mubarak, Arab diplomats said.
The diplomats said Egypt had sold Iraq $1.3 billion worth of ammunition and spare military parts since the war. The United States has provided an unsecured number of military advisers.
The change in Egyptian-Iraqi relations comes at the same time as indications of a similar re-establishment with the United States. Iraq broke off diplomatic relations with the United States following the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.
Hussein recently told the Paris-based Arab-language newspaper Al Watan al Arabi that a restoration in diplomatic relations has been delayed by the Iran-Iraq war but "the appropriate time to study Iraqi-American ties may be after the American elections."
In 1974, the United States opened an interests section in Baghdad under the auspices of the Belgian Embassy.
Western diplomats said U.S. access to Iraqi officials had improved in recent months. A U.S. Information Service officer was stationed in Baghdad two months ago because "the improvement in atmosphere justified it," a Western diplomat said.
He said in Americans currently were assigned to the interests section, which has grown progressively by one to two people a year during the past three years.
Nebraska farmer killed at home after opening fire on SWAT team
By United Press International
CAIRO, Neb. — A desperate farmer whose homelessest dwindled from 2,000 to 240 acres because of financial problems declared "I don't belong in a dirty jail" before he opened fire on a SWAT team and was gunned down.
His face blackened for night battle and a steel helmet on his head, Arthur Kirk, 49, was shot twice Tuesday night about eight hours after deputies tried to serve him with legal papers about his overdue loans. Kirk chased them off his property with two guns. The deputies returned with a SWAT team to the farm where Kirk was born.
Neither his wife, Deloris, nor two negotiators could persuade him to surrender.
during the siege. "I am ready to die, but I'm going to take a lot of them with me."
"I know they're coming for me," Kirk told the Grand Island Independent newspaper
The legal papers contended the Kirks owed Norwest Bank-Grand Island more than $300,000.
Bank president Norm Nackerud said the bank "took every step possible to resolve the loan dispute between the bank and Mr. Kirk."
"The bank resorted to legal procedures to give Kirk to repay his farm loans because all avenues of communication had broken down and Kirk was no longer cooperating with the bank," he said.
"I've had problems with banks just like any farmer," Kirk told the newspaper. "I'd rather fight them in court, but I'll do it this way. I don't belong in a dirty jail."
Kirk was shot as he ran toward a windmill near his house.

WASHINGTON — The Army will begin tougher tests of the Bradley, a lightweight tracked vehicle designed to replace the aluminum-hulled carriers used in Vietnam. The Defense Department and a congressman have pressed for battle-condition tests for the new million-dollar armored troop carrier.
Army bows to pressure sets tests for troop carrier
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Army, under pressure from the Defense Department and a congressman, has ordered tougher tests on a new million-dollar armored troop carrier, after objections that it could be "a rolling ammo dump."
An Army spokesman said that at first the Army chose not to test the carriers under battle conditions because it knew the vehicle would be destroyed and saw no reason to waste the machines.
The Bradley, the new troop carrier, is a lightweight tracked vehicle designed to replace the aluminum-hulled carriers used in Vietnam.
"We don't want to blow up a million-dollar vehicle haphazard," said Charles Salter, the Army's deputy program manager on the M-2-Bradley troop carrier project, in explaining the light testing. "We want to blow them up scientifically."
Salter said the Army tests to date had been "absolutely adequate" and showed that the vehicle it was defended against weapons it was designed to meet. He said
it was never planned as a front-line vehicle.
However, under increased criticism, the Army plans to bring the Bradley under heavy armaments fire in 1985 rather than 1986, officials said.
For the initial tests, Lt. Col. Frank Hartline, an expert on the Bradley, said a hole was cut in a Bradley body. The hole alternately was covered with aluminum and steel as shells were fired at it. Engine and other vital parts were shielded by metal plates installed for the tests.
An aide to Rep. Denny Smith, R-Ore, called the tests on the Bradley, produced by FMC Corp., "unrealistic."
"Each wall on the Bradley is almost completely surrounded with high explosives," said John Heubush, legislative assistant to Smith.
Sources said aides to Defense Secretary, Caspar Weinberger were upset the tests were not more stringent and let the Army know their concerns.
With 1,000 of the aluminum and steel-girdled Bradleys already produced, Smith wanted more severe testing before the other 5,000 Bradleys were built.
