3 dead, 19 injured in Lebanon during morning Israeli air strike
SIDON, Lebanon — Israeli warplanes bombed Palestinian targets near the southern Lebanese port of Sidon yesterday, killing three people, wounding at least 19 and destroying shops and buildings.
Lebanese police sources said four planes struck at dawn, making two bombing runs on bases of the Syrian-backed Popular Struggle Front and other Palestinian factions just south of Sidon, a port city 24 miles south of Beirut.
In Tel Aviv, Israeli military officials said the raid was in retaliation for an overnight attempt by four Arab guerrillas to infiltrate Israel in a rubber dinghy. The raid also came several hours after rockets were fired into northern Israel from southern Lebanon.
Yesterday's raid in Lebanon destroyed several buildings, shops, depots and cars. Hospital sources said two Palestinian guerrillas were killed and a woman who was among 20 wounded gunmen and civilians later died of her injuries.
In Washington, White House officials said they deplored "the continuing cycle of violence" and urged adherence to "agreed-upon security arrangements between Lebanon and Israel that can ensure security and stability" for the two states.
The Israeli air strike aimed at the Popular Struggle Front — a Palestinian splinter group with at least 150 followers headed by Samir Ghousha — was the eighth in Lebanon this year and the fifth on Palestinian positions around Sidon.
Club officer kidnapped in Beirut
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The top official of the International Lions Club for Lebanon and Jordan was kidnap yesterday in Muslim west Beirut.
Police said three men armed with silencer-equipped pistols and riding in a wine-colored BMW intercepted the Lions Club governor, Victor Kenou, at 9:35 a.m. near the French Embassy compound on Rue Clemenceau.
Two of the assailants forced Kenou out of his white Mercedes-Benz at gunpoint and put him into their car, police said.
Kenou, 50, overseees the 39 International Lions Clubs in Lebanon and Jordan. The Lions Clubs are among few social institutions still operating despite Lebanon's 11-year-old civil war.
Kenou's abduction, like the kidnapping of American educator Frank Herbert Reed on Tuesday, was an apparent challenge to Syria, which sent troops into west Beirut in July in an effort to restore order and end the anarchy spawned by warring Muslim militias.
Police said they had no clues to either man's whereabouts.
Other U.S. hostages held by Islamic Jihad are Terry A. Anderson, 38, chief Middle East correspondent of The Associated Press; David Jacobsen, 55, director of the American University Hospital; and Thomas Sutherland, 55, acting dean of the university's agriculture faculty.
Tass says many newsmen spy
MOSCOW — The Soviet media yesterday expanded its espionage allegations beyond U.S. News & World Report correspondent Nicholas Daniiloff, accusing the major U.S. media of working for the CIA.
"The bourgeois pressmen have already long been actively used by the CIA for espionage against the sovereign states," the official news agency Tass wrote in a commentary.
Tass, referring to an article it said appeared in the U.S. magazine Rolling Stone, said the Central Intelligence Agency for 25 years used more than 400 journalists from the major U.S. news media: The AP and UPI agencies, the ABC and NBC radio and television companies, the newspapers the New York Times and the Washington Post, the weeklies Time and Newsweek.
Tass said the magazine described the journalists' secret assignments ranging from collecting information to acting as contact men with spies in communist countries.
Tass also said recent comments by a CIA spokesman in Washington indicated that the practice was continuing.
Spokesman Sharon Foster said the CIA enacted rules in 1977 barring the use of U.S. journalists for intelligence operations, but added, "It's not a total exclusion. We don't say you can't talk to us and we can't talk to you."
istanbul mourners want revenge
ISTANBUL, Turkey — A throne of mourners wailed and cried for revenge yesterday at a funeral for 19 of the 21 Sabbath worshipers massacred by Arab gunmen in the Neve Shalom synagogue.
More than 3,000 people gathered in the narrow Jewish-quarter streets around the Neve Shalom, or place of peace, while 1,500 mourners attended the funeral inside the site of Saturday's five-minute blood bath.
The service was led by Chief Rabbi David Assso, who ordered that blood stains on the temple walls and ceiling not be removed for the funeral. He said the stains would act as a reminder of the 21 who were gunned down, in what has been described as the worst tragedy in the Istanbul Jewish community's 500-year history.
Mubarak, Peres begin summit
Two other victims were buried in Israel this week.
CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt and Israel yesterday resolved a border dispute. This opened the way for a summit today between President Hosni Mubarak and Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Israeli negotiators said.
The summit will take place in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, Egypt, Peres aides Avraham Tamir said. It will be the first summit meeting between an Israeli and Egyptian leader in five years.
The Egyptian Cabinet met in an emergency session to approve the agreement. Both delegations were to sign the agreement late yesterday at the Mena House Hotel near the Giza pyramids.
The agreement on terms for settling the Taba border dispute caps four years of on-and-off negotiations. It also will make possible the return of Egypt's ambassador to Tel Aviv.
Kimche said the agreement resolved the two outstanding points: the choice of neutral arbitrators to judge the dispute and the location of a border-marker in the disputed region
Chief Egyptian negotiator Nabil El-Arabi said two arbitrators were chosen who will choose a third arbitrator.
"We have finished our work," said Israeli negotiator David Kimche, as he emerged from the daylong talks. "What we have done now is being discussed by the Egyptian Cabinet. If the Egyptian Cabinet decides to accept it, there will be a signing ceremony at the Mena House tonight."
Besides the three neutral judges, the five-man panel includes an Egyptian and an Israeli.
Ortega sends warning to U.S.
NEW DELHI, India — Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega warned the Reagan administration yesterday that a U.S. invasion of Nicaragua would "start a fire in Latin America" and millions of Americans would die.
The leftist government in Managua has often accused the Reagan administration of planning an invasion of the Central American country. The United States supports rebels based in Honduras trying to overthrow the Nicaraguan government.
"If an invasion does occur it will have catastrophic repercussions," said Ortega, on the second day of a three-day state visit to India.
He said "the United States does not want to invade because millions of Americans would die, and because it would be facing a determined people."
