New Soviet resolve heats Afghan crisis
Nation/World
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Soviet forces have applied new resolve, new weapons and new tactics in a bloody summer of war against Muslim guerrillas who have defied thern for nearly six years in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan.
Sayed B. Majrooh, head of the Independent Afghan Information Center in Pakistan, which monitors events inside the neighboring country, said of the Soviet strategy, "It's very, very quick. A kind of blitzkrieg."
The outgunned insurgents sometimes stand and fight despite the strength and sophistication of the military offensives. Heavy losses have taken place.
The Soviets, who have an estimated 115,000 men in Afghanistan helping the Communist government fight the rebels, have conducted two major offensives this summer along the Pakistani border.
A Soviet task force of more than 10,000 troops backed by scores of jets and helicopter gunships made the first big sweep of the summer in June, in Kunar province. A second offensive by a larger force began in August farther south in Paktia province.
Guerrilla commanders, Western intelligence officials and other sources attribute the Soviet vigor to strong new Kremlin leadership by Michael S. Gorbachev, who became Communist Party chief in March. Guerrilla leaders had predicted increased activity when he took over.
One of the guerrilla leaders, Burhamaddin Rabbani, said that there had been an increasing number of attacks on civilians since Gorbachev had come to power.
New Soviet tactics combine large-scale use sophisticated, powerful weaponry with full-scale attacks by armored columns and lightning strikes by elite commando units.
"This summer has been very tough on the mujahedeen," a Western intelligence official said.
The guerrillas fight mostly with rifles and machine guns, with only a few heavy weapons, and can do little to stop the well-equipped Soviet units.
Guerrilla leaders concede setbacks, but say that the Soviet success has been limited, with offensives not being sustained and insurgents returning quickly when the assault forces move on to other areas.

Police said the tip from Gregg placed Ramirez in the Bay Area at, the time of the Doi slaying and helped, link him to the killing.
"The drugs and maybe the satanic cult made him snap," Gregg said, suggesting his friend may have begun committing burglaries to support a drug habit.
Gregg, 25, said in an interview with the Lompoc Record that he tipped police that his friend might be the Night Stalker because of sympathy he felt for the serial killer's victims, a feeling engendered by the murder of his stepbrother in Oklahoma last year.
Gregg's wife purchased jewelry from Ramizire that had been stolen in a burglary in San Francisco three days before William Doi, 66, was shot to death and his wife beaten in their San Francisco home.

Both of the suspects, who the French government admitted are secret service agents, had been held in the old, medium-security Mt.

Mafart and Prieur have been charged with arson and murder in connection with the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, a converted trawler sunk in Auckland Harbor July 10 by two mines attached to its hull. A crewman-photographer aboard the ship was killed in the attack.
The moves followed the publication of Paris-datelined reports in the Auckland Star newspaper that mercenaries hired by the French intelligence agency DGSE might try to free the two prisoners.
Police Supt. Allan Galbraith, in charge of inquiries into the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, revealed yesterday that a substance had been
