N'Djamena, Chad
At least 40 dead in rebel uprising
Loyalist soldiers repulsed a rebel uprising that left at least 40 dead and another 12, including the interior minister, under arrest, officials said yesterday.
Soldiers defeated the rebels in a battle Sunday at a weapons depot near N'Djamena International Airport, a government representative airport, and a government soldier died in the attack.
Thirty-six other people, mostly soldiers, died afterward in unrest in N'DJ] amena, the African desert nation's capital, said presidential representative Mahaita Hissieu.
"This politico-military adventure engendered uncontrollable situations: outbursts, thefts, acts of violence," a government communiqué said.
Among the civilians killed was a government emissary sent to persuade the uprising's leader, Interior Minister Maldom Bada Abbas, to surrender peacefully, the communique said.
Abbas also is vice president of the ruling Patriotic Salvation Movement, which is led by President Idriss Deby, the former rebel leader who ousted President Hissé Habre.
Deby has promised to install a democratic government by September 1992.

Access denied to EC relief team
For a fifth straight day, a European Community-led relief convoy was unable yesterday to enter a besieged Croatian city because of intransigence and mistrust on both sides of the border.
"The twooes didn't want any food or food in Vukovar, "said Michael Robert, leader of the EC team heading the 50-truck convoy hoping to deliver supplies to the Serbian River town on Croatia's border with rival Serbia.
Failure of the relief mission could set off another round of fighting in eastern Croatia, scene of some of the worst battles since the war and Slovenia declared independence June 28.
Croatian guards guarded reinforcements and multiple barrel rocket launchers into Nustar, some six miles west of Vukovar, as Robert left for Zagreb, the Croatian capital.
Berysa said Croatia could secede from Yugoslavia but not with territories dominated by the republic's 600,000 Serbia minority. Croatia blames the war on Serbian expansionism engineered by Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and fears Serb-dominated areas would be controlled from Belgrade, the federal and Serbian capital.

German police uncover ring that sold children
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Berlin police uncovered a criminal ring that bought or kidnapped young children to sell to childless couples, and officers found a sales catalog with pictures of a dozen children.
Police said most of the children were bought from their parents for up to $2,000 each, but at least two were stolen.
The ring also tried to buy children in Romania, which has a large number of orphans and has drawn many refugees.
Four people have been arrested and 13 others are under investigation. Police said an arrest warrant was being sought for Joseph Colombar, a 44-year-old Parisian suspected of being the ringleader.
Among those arrested was Ludovicus Basilii, 42, a.
Police said they found a 1-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl last week in Basili's trailer in Berlin. The boy had been kidnapped from a refugee shelter in Berlin, the girl from a center in Braunschweig, central Germany.
Police said they had prevented the sale of two youngsters by their mothers, a Romanian and a Yugoslavian living in the German capital.
Dutchman of Romanian origin.
The ring planned to sell all four youngsters to childless couples in France, police said.
Police said that during the search of Basili's trailer they found a sales catalog that showed 12 children. One of them has since been relocated in France, but the whereabouts and background of the other 11 are unknown, police said.
PLO officials meet with Jordan discuss joint delegation proposal
The Associated Press
AMMAN, Jordan — In a move signaling that a Middle East peace conference may be near, top Palestine Liberation Organization officials yesterday discussed proposals with Jordan for forming a joint delegation.
Secretary of State James Hearl III said after a related meeting with Jordan's King Hussein, "we will know within a reasonably short time whether we will have an active peace process for this region."
The off-stage role of the PLO came into sharper focus as three of its executive committee members, in a bid to resolve major sticking points about Palestinian representation at the talks, conferred with Jerusalem counterparts on such unsettled issues as the harrisperson and size of the proposed joint delegation.
Baker is pushing against a late-October target, as set by both the United States and the Soviet Union, to prevent an escalation of tensions.
Baker sought to assure Israel that the United States was not trying to set up a dialogue between Israel and the PLIO. At the same time, the fact that Mr. Plio had to consult with Jordan, he said, was not surprising.
Earlier, after more than four of talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarek, Baker said, "At
He hinted earlier in Carao that even if the Palestinian issues were not settled soon, the two governments would issue invitations anyway. He cautioned Palestinian interests that "the bus is not going to
some point we will have to issue invitations."
Other U.S. officials said the invitations would go out by Monday.
In order to avoid the appearance of a direct PLO link to the peace conference, which would infuriate Israel and probably derail the effort, Baker has been meeting in Jerusalem with a group of Palestinians who maintain
James Baker
some distance, in public, from the PLO
However, they are known to have PLO clearance, and PLO approval is regarded essential for the implementation.
"We are not negotiating with the PLO," Baker said yesterday. "We are talking about Palestinians from the territories."
Faisal Hussein, the representative and apparent head of the group that deals with Baker and his deputies, is a leading supporter of the PLO FATA on behalf of the organization. He has good connections with PLO head Yasser Arafat.
Baker is scheduled to meet again with Hussein and the rest of the delegation in Jerusalem tomorrow.
So far, the Palestinians have not announced whether they will attend the peace conference. One of the key unsettled issues is whether Hussein will join the PLO delegation and be delegated. The PLO wants a rotation arrangement.
