Iranian newspaper suggests U.S. hostage may be freed
The Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus — The U.N. representative for Western hostages returned to the Middle East yesterday to talk about a hostage-for-prisoner swap after an influential Iranian official said a hostage soon could be freed.
The English-language Tehran Times did not say in Sunday's report which hostage could be released but suggested it could be a U.S. citizen. Nine Westerners are missing and are believed to be held by pro-Iranian Shiite Muslim factions in Lebanon.
The Tehran Times had accurately predicted two earlier releases of hostages but incorrectly reported that an U.S. citizen might have been freed shortly after the Sept. 24 release of Briton Jack Mann.
Sunday's story said the Shite Party of God, or Hezbollah, would push for a release on humanitarian grounds in the face of mutual to release more Arab prisoners.
"I'm more optimistic than at any time before that one Western hostage, maybe an American will be freed," the correspondent said as saying yesterday.
But the correspondent added that the slightest mistake or provocative statement from any side could hurt him. Iranian efforts to free the hostages.
Hezbollah, considered the umbrella group for the Shiite hostage-holders, linked the freedom of Western hostages to Israel's release of up to 300 Lebanese Arabs held by the Israelis or their militia allies in southern Lebanon.
Israel demanded information on five Israeli servicemen missing in Lebanon before it would free any more detainees.
U. N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar has led efforts for the exchange. His special envoy in hostage negotiations, Giandomenico Picco, arrived in Damascus, Syria, yesterday.
U. N. officials in New York said Picco was working on behalf of Perez de Cuellar's proposals but gave no other details on his mission. Picco refused to comment during a stop in Cyprus.
Piceo had been holding talks with Iranian officials in recent weeks, said U.N. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Senior Iranian officials and others predicted that all the hostages and detainees would be freed before January. The latest releases began in August with Briton John McCarthy and American Edward Tracy.
Terry Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent of The Associated Press, is the longest-hold hostage. He was beheaded by Beirut, Lebanon, on March 16, 1985.
He is among five Americans, two Germans, a Briton and an Italian believed to be held hostage. Another Briton, Alec Collett, was kidnapped in 1985, and British officials said he is presumed dead.
South African police reinforce patrols after weekend resurgence of violence
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — At least 23 people were killed in one of the worst weekends of violence in Johannesburg's Black townships in months, police said. Nearly half of the dead were killed by gunmen who stormed a bar and nearby homes.
The killings came despite a peace pact signed last month by most of the country's main political groups aimed at trying to halt the violence.
Police commanders moved reinforcements into townships today in an attempt to contain the violence. Heavy damage is reported in armored trucks patrolled streets.
At least 60 Blacks have been killed in Johannesburg townships since last week after several weeks of relative violence, making it able to explain the upsurge of violence.
About 30 unidentified gunmen attacked a bar late Sunday night in Soweto township and then shot down people in nearby homes, killing 10 and wounding four, according to police and evewitnesses.
The men entered the bar and simply began firing, survivors said.
After prolonged gunfire, "there was this incredible wailing in the night as people rushed out and discovered that
At least 60 Blacks have been killed in Johannesburg townships since last week.
relatives had been hit," said a witness, who refused to be identified.
Police Col. Tienie Halgryn said the attackers apparently had come from a nearby migrant worker's hostel that was a stronghold of the Zulu-dominated Inkatha Freedom Party.
He said the hostel-dwellers had been angry because police arrested seven of their friends Saturday in connection with a killing.
Police said no arrests had been made in connection with any of the weekendattacks.
The renewed clashes have strained relations between President F. W. de Klerk's government and the African National Congress, the leading Black
opposition movement.
Most of the township fighting has been between supporters of the ANC and the Inkatha Freedom Party.
Earlier Sunday, an ANC member was fatally shot in a confrontation with police in Soweto.
Elsewhere, police found eight bullet-riddled bodies and reported 12 people hurt at three separate sites in Vosloorus, about 20 miles southeast of Johannesburg. An off-duty policeman was among those killed.
Vosloorus and the neighboring townships of Katiehong and Tokoka have been plagued with some of the worst factional violence over the past year.
Police reported at least four deaths in other areas.
Nationwide, violence has claimed the lives of more than 6,000 Blacks in the past five years and has stalled de Klerk's efforts to negotiate a new constitution with Black opposition groups.
ANC President Nelson Mandela again gladed de Klek for failing to stop the carrage. De Klek is regarded as an accomplice in the violence that took place last month, "about it. Mandela told business leaders at a weekend meeting.

Tire hits bus windshield, kills two children
MIAMI — A 250-pound tire broke loose from a truck, bounded across a highway and smashed through a school-bus windshield yesterday, killing two children, officials and witnesses said.
The bus was carrying fourth-grade students from Tropical Elementary School in suburban south Dade County to a downtown museum for a field trip, said Dade College's representatives. Harry Frank.
A dozen children and two adults were treated at hospitals for cuts and bruises, hospital officials said.
But a third adult was in gravely critical condition, said Don Delvechoff of Jackson Memorial Hospital. Those women were not immediately released.
The accident occurred without warning, said Michelle Casas, a chaperone accompanying the child.
"There was a crash that came through the window. It was a tire,"
The two children who died apparently were sitting in the front seat of the row across from the driver, Fraud said. That side of the bus took the brunt of the impact of the tire, and left it behind in windshield and camphied the roof.
she said, "I don't know where it came from or anything. Before you know it, it was on top of the teacher in children there. I'm in shock."
The bus driver managed to stop without crashing, said Casas.
The accident occurred at 10 a.m. on State 836, a major downtown artery. Afterward, the young passenger fell along the highway, some crying.
"The tire came through the windshield," student Alex Nodarse said through his tears minutes after the crash. He cut right here. It's still bleeding."
Motorist Gregory Romagosa said he was about five cars behind the eastbound school bus when the left front tire broke loose from a westbound truck. The tire bounced in the westbound lane and jumped over the highway median, he said.
"It it rammed right through the bus. and it was horrible," he said.
The truck remained parked against the median wall yesterday afternoon, surrounded by state troopers and transportation inspectors.
Highway Patrol Lt. Noel Roy said investigators had not determined why the truck lost the tire, which he estimated to weigh 250 pounds.
Fraind said about 90 children were on two buses, one of which was initially unaware of the accident and continued on to the museum. School officials took the children from both buses to hospitals to meet their parents and sent counselors and psychologists to the school, he said.
Eddie Reyes, who was awaiting word on his child, said, "From what I understand, some of the staff members here in school have kids of their own on the school bus, and they're going just as crazy as we are."
