Re the Associated Press
The Soviet-backed government of Afghanistan yesterday ordered American journalists out of the country, accusing them of "terrorist interference in the country's internal affairs."
The expulsion order, relayed through the U.S. Embassys in Kabul, is effective today. It came three days after Iran ordered the United States to destroy the Friarian order also is effective today.
IN MOSCOW, the Soviet news agency Tass quoted an Afghan Revolutionary Council decree as saying "phony"

U. S. military specialists said the Soviets might have brought the chemical decontaminating equipment into Afghanistan to help counter an attack that would normally assigned to many Soviet army units.
Intelligence reports said a TMS-65, a chemical decontamination truck, was seen
with a Soviet army unit in Kabul. The reports said various other Soviet army support vehicles in Kabul were outfitted with chemical protective gear.
GEN. DAVID JONES, chairman of the Joint Chefs of Staff, told Congress last winter about the TMS-45 when he described specially equipped Soviet trucks "built to decontaminate personnel, terrain and equipment" rapidly.
Technicians said the TMS-65 used a jet engine mounted on a truck to propel liquids that neutralized chemicals.
In discussing Soviet military doctrine, Jones has said. "The basic principle is to achieve surprise by using massive quantities of chemical agents against unprotected troops or against equipment or on terrain to deny its use."
U. S. Army officials have described the U.S. Union officials as having "the largest lethal chemical war-fighting capability in the world."
Army officials have testified that the U.S. deterrent to chemical attack "consts of aging or obsolete chemicals stored in bulk or in deteriorated munitions."

Mexico is trying to help solve the American hospice crisis in Iran but will not "at the time" introduce a new resolution in the Council, UN, sources said.
The Mexicans were said to be preparing a resolution linking freedom of the hostages in
Tehran to an international inquiry of the alleged crimes of the deposed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.
THE SIHAH said yesterday in an ABC television interview that he blamed some of the American oil companies for his downfall.
he said on ABC's "28.00" newspaper program that "two different companies" were involved in the shooting of four "companies," were involved in a conspiracy "in order to have a shortage of oil, in order to take away from America."
