News Briefs
Terrorists who killed 21 Jews might have ties with Lebanon
ISTANBUL, Turkey — Premier Turgut Ozal said yesterday that two terrorists who killed 21 worshippers and wounded four at Istanbul's main synagogue might have been linked with Lebanon, not Libya.
Conflicting claims of responsibility were made on behalf of Palestinian, Shiite Muslim and Arab unity groups, but police could say only that the attackers were Arabs.
After locking the synagogue's main door and firing on the Jewish congregation Saturday with submachine guns, the gunmen killed themselves with hand grenades.
quot told reporters. "It seems this attack doesn't have anything to do with Libya but with Lebanon."
Libya said yesterday that it harbored no hostility against Jews and that it disapproved of attacks on "such innocent people."
Jak Veissid, an adviser to Chief Rabbi David Asseo, said at a news conference that police had identified all but three of the victims, including two cantors who were conducting a Sabbath service.
Anonymous callers to news organizations in Cyprus, Lebanon and Ankara claimed responsibility on behalf of the Palestine Revenge Organization, the Islamic Resistance, the International Fighting Front and the North Arab Unity Organization.
The Islamic Resistance is a code name used by the Shiite Muslim group Hezbollah, or Party of God, thought to be loyal to Iran. Another caller to a Western news agency in Beirut yesterday denied that the Islamic Resistance was involved.
Palestinian hijackers to be tried
KARACHI, Pakistan — President Mohammad Zia said yesterday that the four hijackers of a Pan Am jetliner were young Palestinians operating without state support and that they would be tried in Pakistan for the bloodbath that took 18 lives.
Zia ruled out extradition of the hijackers to the United States, which issued arrest warrants for them.
The hijackers face the death penalty if convicted of the biacking, which also wounded more than 150.
Sources in Pakistan's internal security agency said that at least one person was jailed on the charge of renting the van the hijackers used. The hijackers used the van to reach the Boeing 747 on the airport tarmac, where they shot their way aboard early Friday.
The four hijackers held 383 people aboard the plane. They made demands until the power died and the lights went out. The hijackers panicked, herded people into the middle of the plane and then hurled grenades and sprayed gunfire through the cabin, officials and survivors said.
About 300 survivors of the hijacking left Karachi yesterday aboard special flights to Bombay, India and their original destinations in New York and London by way of Frankfurt, West Germany. Diplomats made arrangements for the bodies of the victims to be transported to their homes.
Tutu is installed as archbishop
CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Desmond Tutu, praised as a man of peace and cheered by crowds waving clenched-fist "black power" salutes, was installed yesterday as the first black archbishop of Cape Town in Anglican church history.
Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, used his first address as leader of 2 million Anglicans in South Africa, Botswana and Lesotho to condemn acts of violence by both supporters and opponents of apartheid.
But the cleric also reiterated his call for Western economic sanctions in a bid to force the South African government to abandon apartheid, its system of institutionalized racial separation.
Scuffles erupted outside the church between white moderates opposed to Tutu's political views. No one was injured in the incident, and police watched from a distance.
Among the guests were Coretta Scott King, U.S. civil rights activist; Winnie Mandela, wife of jailed black nationalist leader Nelson Mandela; Allan Boesak, South African cleric; and clergymen from Europe and the United States.
Tutu said he would drop support for economic sanctions against Pretoria only after blacks achieve full political and civil rights.
Robert Runcie, the archbishop of Canterbury, making his first visit to South Africa, told the crowd, "Desmond Tutu has been enthroned as archbishop at a critical moment in the life of this nation.
"Desmond is a man of love, vision and peace, whose valiant stand for Christ has brought such life and hope to South Africa. I believe you have a leader chosen by God."
NEW YORK — Thousands of Holocaust survivors gathered yesterday at the base of the Statue of Liberty to remember the Nazi slaughter of Jews — and to condemn the massacre of 21 Jews by Arab gunmen in a synagogue in Turkey.
Survivors remember Holocaust
About 3,500 people traveled to Liberty Island to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the arrival of the first Holocaust survivors in the United States after World War II.
Speakers addressing the crowd strayed from their prepared remarks to condemn Saturday's attack by Arab gunmen who killed 21 Jews during Sabbath prayers in a synagogue in Istanbul, Turkey.
Holocaust survivors spent much of the time embracing old friends and remembering the Holocaust, in which the Nazis killed 6 million Jews during World War II
Louie Mermelsdein, 59, of Philadelphia, carried a note in hope of finding someone. Written on heavy paper and pinned to his shirt, it read "Savar, July 1944."
Savar was a camp in Hungary, and in July 1944 all of its inmates were put in cattle cars - the ultimate destination was Auschwitz.
Mermelsdeln was the only one who jumped off the train, just 100 miles outside the infamous death camp. He said he had worn his sign at survivor meetings for years, hoping "I'll find someone. But there is no one."
Pyramid rooms still unopened
GIZA, Egypt — Members of a Franco-Egyptian team said Saturday that the secret chambers they were trying to penetrate in the pyramid of Pharaoh Cheops had not been opened since the tomb was built more than 4.500 years ago.
The cavities, discovered last winter by French architects Jean-Patrice Goidin and Gilles Dormion, evidently escaped looting by graverobbers, the fate common to almost all the tombs of ancient Egypt's rulers.
The team of investigators Saturday began drilling a second hole through the limestone slab along a passageway deep inside the pyramid, the largest of the
three Great Pyramids at this ancient site outside Cairo. They hope that the second hole will hit upon the chamber's doorway.
There are at least three secret chambers near where the archaeologists and architects are working, and no one knows what they might contain.
The team, financially backed by the French government and Egypt's Antiquities Organization, began drilling Wednesday.
Goidin said the second hole is being drilled about eight feet to the left of the first one, in a corridor leading to the queen's chamber.
Ahed Kadry, head of the Antiquities Organization, said the first hole, which took three days to drill, revealed separate, side-by-side layers of mortar and sand.
Scientists have theorized that the location of the cavities, along the corridor to the queen's chamber and beneath the passage to the pharoah's burial chamber, indicates they could be storage rooms, conceivably filled with anything from royal jewels to millennia-old grain.
Cheops' pyramid, built in the 27th century B.C., is made of 2.5 million limestone blocks and is 482 feet tall. Its base covers 13 acres.
Students counter Playboy issue
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Nude photography and poetry are featured in a student publication to be distributed this week on Ivy League campuses to counter Playboy's "Women of the Ivy League Revisited" issue, a spokeswoman said yesterday.
About 40,000 copies of the 32-page magazine "Women of the Ivy League," which was created to counter the October issue of Playboy, will be distributed free of charge at the Ivy League schools beginning today, said Renee Schwalberg, a Yale University senior who initiated the project.
Playboy's issue features photographs of 22 lvy league "college co-eds." including more than six full-length.
The alternative publication features five black-and-white nude photographs and drawings.
In addition to Yale, students from the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Princeton University, Dartmouth College, Brown University and Radcliffe College at Harvard University contributed to the effort, Schwalberg said.
