Thatcher says allies' inaction against Syria is disappointing
LONDON — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said yesterday that she was disappointed that Britain's European allies refused to take diplomatic action against Syria, accused of backing a plot to bomb an Israeli airliner.
Britain unsuccessfully tried to persuade European Community foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg on Monday to immediately ban arms sales and high-profile weapons exports. The disappearance of Syrian embassies and its national airline
Thatatcher cited a 1984 declaration by the 12-member European Community that said if one member suffered a terrorist attack involving an abuse of diplomatic immunity, partners would be ready to consider common action in response.
European Community foreign ministers are scheduled to meet in London next month to reconsider the request to take diplomatic action against Syria.
Sir Geoffrey Howe said Syria supported a plot to blow up an El Al jet bound for Israel after it took off from Heathrow airport with 375 people aboard April 29. A team of military experts in camouflaged Friday of trying to blow up the jettimer.
Howe, who spoke to Parliament yesterday, said that he was disappointed the European Community failed to send the Syrian government a clear message that their behavior had been intolerable.
Bombs explode near U.S. bases
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Two bombs exploded outside U.S. military installations and seven others were defused yesterday in a campaign claimed by three militant groups fighting for independence and against plans to cut down trees in a scenic tropical rain forest.
One person was wounded and a truck was destroyed
But a letter that claimed responsibility in the name of Los Macheteros, in conjunction with the Organization of Volunteers for the Puerto Rican Revolution and the Armed Forces of Popular Resistance, did not men-

attack was engineered by the terrorist Los Macheteros
group protesting U.S. plans to train Nicaraguan con-

one 1st bomb exploded outside an Army recurring office in Fajardo, which is located on the east coast, shortly after midnight.
The second bomb exploded at 12:45 a.m. at Fort Buchanan, an Army reserve base located on the outskirts of San Juan. The bomb destroyed a truck. An unexploded bomb also was found.
Reagan blasts Carter in Georgia
COLUMBUS, Ga. — Four weeks after traveling to Atlanta to praise Jimmy Carter, President Reagan returned to Georgia yesterday to bury his predecessor in political scorn.
Proclaiming a United States "headed for a second boom," Reagan said the only threat would be election of Democrats to the Senate "who in 1980 weakened our nation."
Campaigning for Sen. Mack Mattingly's re-election in Columbus, Ga., Reagan held Carter accountable for "the worst economic mess since the Great Depression."
Reagan went to Atlanta on Oct. 1, Carter's birthday, to dedicate the Carter presidential library and praise him as a symbol of the South, a God-fearing leader and a president who tried to bring peace to the Middle East.
But last Friday in Florida, Reagan blasted Carter by name for the first time on the campaign trail, and earlier in Oklahoma the same day Reagan said his job
in 1981 was like Noah's task "after the animals left the ark."
BALTIMORE — Anti-apartheid protesters occupying the administration building at Johns Hopkins University yesterday set a noon deadline today on demands for a referendum on whether the school should divest nearly $70 million in firms operating in South Africa.
Protesters set noon deadline
The protesters said they were considering alternatives if their demand for a campus referendum on divestiture was not met by noon today. One protester told reporters that he had unlocked the doors of the building in a takeover attempt.
Ken Iglehart, a John Hopkins spokesman, said university President Steven Muller and George Radcliffe, chairman of the board of trustees, had received the demands and were reviewing them. He said it was likely that Muller, who was out of town yesterday, would meet with the students today.
The students also are asking for the transcripts of Monday's 4-9-hour meeting, at which the Johns Hopkins' Board of Trustees voted unanimously against divestiture on grounds it would "not represent a responsible, prudent course of action."
S. Korean students battle police
SEOUL, South Korea — More than 2,000 students battled riot police in a violent anti-government and anti-U.S. demonstration on a university campus yesterday, witnesses and authorities said.
The demonstrators hurled hundreds of rocks and fire bombs at police, who retaliated by firing tear gas, witnesses said. Some policemen were injured by rocks and glass thrown by the students.
A number of students were arrested during the clash. The number was not available.
The two-hour clash at Kunko University in a southeastern district of Seoul was one of the most
violent student riots in months, authorities said.
A student spokesman said youths from 12 universities took part in the action, during which the demonstrators shouted, "Down with military dictatorship" and "Drive out U.S. imperialists."
The police squads ended the demonstration by surrounding seven campus buildings that were occupied by demonstrators.
Guerrillas threaten Zimbabwe
LISIBON, Portugal — The South African-backed Mozambican guerrillas declared war on Zimbabwe yesterday because of the nation's military support of Mozambique.
The threat came the same day President Samora Machel, who was killed in a plane crash in South Africa on Oct. 10, was buried in the Mozambican capital of Maputo.
The rightist Mozambican National Resistance, known as Renamo, said it would begin to attack military, economic and other targets of interest to Prime Minister Robert Mugabe's government inside Zimbabwe.
"The war against Zimbabwe has been declared," said Paulo Oliveira, a rebel spokesman, in a statement telephoned to United Press International in Lisbon.
He said the declaration, signed by guerrilla chief Afonso Dhlakara, was a "formal 'retaliation' to Mugabe's pledge Sunday that Zimbabwe would "fight to the last man" to defend Mozambique from a takeover by Renamo in the wake of Machel's death.
Between 6,000 and 10,000 Zimbabwean troops currently operate in central Mozambique to help government forces protect vital oil, highway and railroad facilities linking landlocked Zimbabwe to Mozambique's Indian Ocean ports.
