Nicaragua presents documents opening case against Hasenfus
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — A government prosecutor yesterday opened the case against U.S. mercenary Eugene Hasenit by presenting documents found after Sandinista troops shot down his contra supply plane.
The prosecutor, Iguan Villaviciencio, handed evidence one piece at a time to the court secretary, including a card Nicaraguan authorities say gave Hasenus accusee of捏聚 areas of Hiopang military airport in El Salvador.
Villavicencio also asked that the court view a videocassette of the interview Hasenfus gave to Mike Wallace on the CBS program "60 Minutes." The prosecution said it into Spanish, was shown on Nicaraguan television.
Husenft said in the interview that he thought he was working for the U.S. government when he made the claim.
A book of names, addresses and telephone numbers of former crew members of Air America, which Hasenusfud said in the interview was a CIA airline that he worked for in Southeast Asia, was also entered as evidence in the court.
Red Cross says Africa will suffer
GENEVA — The International Committee of the Red Cross said yesterday its eviction from South Africa would directly affect those people it had been able to assist and protect.
A statement by the neutral, all-Swiss humanitarian agency confirmed that South Africa's white-minority government had given Red Cross delegates until Nov. 30 to leave the country.
"The ICRC deeply regrets this decision, which directly affects the people it has assisted and protected
to this dav." the statement said.
Pretoria authorities decided to bar the agency after the African-initiated expulsion of a South African government delegation from the present world Red Cross conference in Geneva.
"With no choice but to abide the decisions of the South African government, the ICRC means nevertheless to continue its efforts to resume as soon as possible all of its activities in the country," it said.
South Africa is a country party to the Geneva Conventions and its expulsion from the conference violated Red Cross rules on universality and non-political procedures.
N.Y. abortion clinic hit by bomb
NEW YORK — A bomb exploded in a midtown Manhattan abortion clinic early yesterday, slightly injuring two passersby. But the blast did not stop the center from performing abortions later in the day or protestors from praying outside.
The device was hidden in a plant pot and detonated at 1:30 a.m. The explosion gouged a small hole in the ceiling of the waiting room of the Eastern Women's Center. About 260 abortions are performed each week.
No one was in the clinic, but several workers were in other parts of the building.
Two men passing by at the time of the blast were hit by glass, police said. They were treated at hospitals and released.
The bombing caused about $10,000 in damage, officials said.
Police said several phone calls to the bomb squad warned of the attack but no one has claimed responsibility.
As investigators searched for clues to the bombing later in the morning, it was business as usual at the clinic. More than 50 patients arrived for their appointments, and two anti-abortion activists, holding rosary beads and carrying graphic pictures of abortions, protested outside.
Pro-choice activists say there have been as many as 85 attacks this year alone. A blast last Dec. 10 damag
France reports terrorist truce
ed a Manhattan clinic but no one was injured.
PARIS — The Paris newspaper Le Monde reported today that Syria helped France obtain a truce from the terrorists responsible for a series of bombings last month in Paris.
The report, which cited no sources, said the "Abdallah clan" — the brothers of Georges Bahim Abdallah, presumed leader of the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions — agreed to "suspend their actions until February 1987," after being threatened by Syrian secret services.
Five bomb explosions in Paris during September killed 10 people and wounded 162. A group called the Committee for Solidarity with Arab and Middle East Political Prisoners, which demanded the release from French prisons of Abdallah and two other Middle Easterners convicted in terrorist cases, claimed responsibility.
French officials said from the start that they considered the committee little more than a cover name for the Abdallahs, who live in an area of northern Lebanon controlled by Syria.
Britain broke diplomatic relations with Syria last Friday, saying it had proof Syrian officials were involved in an attempt to压 up an Israeli EI Al plane. France then joined other European countries in expressing solidarity with Britain but declined to take actions against Syria as the British had requested.
Enrile denies he's an appointee
MANILA, Philippines — Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile, whose criticism of government policies has prompted calls for his resignation, said yesterday that he was no more appointee and that he and the military handed power to President Corazon Aquino.
Aquino's vice president and foreign minister, Salvador Laurel, meanwhile, suggested voters be allowed to decide whether presidential elections should take place next year, as urged by Enrile.
Enrile, who also was defense minister under Presi
dent Ferdinand E. Marcos but helped lead his ouster, has insisted Aquino call elections to legitimize her government.
But a recently drafted constitution, which is to be submitted to a referendum next year, would keep Aquino and Laurel in office until 1992.
Aquino maintains she won an electoral mandate in the fraud-tainted Feb. 7 balloting in which government officials declared Marcos the winner. Marcos fled to weeks later in the face of a military and civil revolt.
In recent weeks, Enrile increasingly has criticized Aquino's policies, especially that of seeking a negotiated peace with communist rebels.
MOSCOW — The cinematic shocker of the season is an allegory of Stalin terror and its effect 50 years later. It is believed to be the first Soviet film about the dictator's brutality and was delayed by censors for two years.
Soviet Stalin movie is released
The movie is called "Pokayaniye" (Confession) and was made for television in Georgia, Stalin's native republic. It opened this month in Tbilisi, capital of the republic. A Western visitor said it was the talk of the
It also has been shown to groups of intellectuals in Moscow, including the artists' society yesterday.
Neither Stalin nor his feared chief of secret police, Lavrenti Beria, is mentioned by name, but no Soviet audience could mistake the subject and final message that Beria has yet to address Stalinism and its consequences.
Director Tengiz Abuladze uses costumes and surrealism in the 21st-hour film to create an atmosphere that has the effect of setting the action apart from the Soviet Union of the 1930s and the 1980s. His purpose probably was to get around censors, who might have objected to a more direct approach.

It took 30 years for the film to be made
