Unpaid soldiers mutiny in Zaire
French patrolsroops crossed the Congo River Tuesday and seized Zaire's main international airport, threatening a bymotion of unpaid soldiers.
Sources in Belgium, the former colonizer, said problems within the military also were reported in the mining center of Kolwezi, 901 km from Brussels, dozens of Belgians fleeing to Harare, Zimbabwe.
Government-controlled Kinshaha Radio said late Monday that troops loyal to President Mobutu Sese Seko had chased the mutineers and eligious African sources said scattered looting continued.
"This intervention corresponds with our concern not to leave the French population isolated in the face of events that put their security in danger," the Foreign Ministry said. It added other foreigners in Zaire could benefit from the French presence.
Washington
CIA analyst contradicts Gates
A top CIA analyst yesterday contradicted sworn testimony of Robert Gates, President Bush's nominee to the head CIA, on whether the House was involved in the Iran-contra affair.
The analyst, Charles Allen, told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he had relayed his suspicions to Gates on Oct. 1, 1986, that Oliver North was involved in the possible diversion of profits from Iran arms sales to the Nicaraguan contra rebels.
In sworn answers to written questions from the committee, Gates said, "Mr. Allen never mentioned to me or speculated that anyone in the uE.S. government, including the CIA, NSCOR or others, was involved in the possible diversion of funds paid by the Framnians to support the contras."
Senator doubts Thomas' beliefs
Washington
Sen. Patrick Leahy, citing too many doubts about Clarence Thomas' beliefs, announced yesterday he would vote against President Bush's Supreme Court nominee.
"After reviewing Judge Thomas' past record and listening to his testimony, I am left with too many doubts to consent to his nomination." Leahy said. "I have doubts about his legal ability, which, at this early stage in his career, is largely untested, and I have doubts about how Judge Thomas views the fundamental right to privacy, including a woman's right to choose."

Bush may set deadline for Iraq on sanctions
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The White House said yesterday that it was very pessimistic that Iraq's Saddam Hussein would do what President Bush said he must: disassemble his country's clandestine nuclear weapons program.
White House press secretary Marlin Finfitz water said the United States was considering setting a 48-hour deadline for Iraq to comply with U.N. demands on the weapons. The next option would be to take action to force the issue.
Bush told the United Nations General Assembly on Monday that "we will not compromise" on demands that the UN should pay for.
mass destruction. He also spoke last week of possibly sending in armed escorts for U.N. helicopter inspection teams.
But when Iraqi authorities blocked U.N. inspectors from taking three carloads of allegedly incriminating documents from a Baghdad government chemicalicals saw little hope that Saddam would come clean.
"We're trying to sort all this out," Bush said yesterday as he posed for pictures with Brazilian President Fernando Collor de Mello. "We're not going to do anything before we understand the facts."
But Fitzwater said the latest incident "leads us to be more pessimistic. ... It doesn't appear that Saddam recognizes the seriousness of the situation."
A White House official said the president thought "we have legal authority under existing (U.N.) resolutions to take action, so there's no need to go to the Security Council" for a formal vote.
Bush spent the day in a space of meetings with world leaders at his Waldorf Astoria Hotel suite. He stopped at a Republican fund-raiser in East Washington, N.J., before returning to the White House.
Bush also met for the first time with Boris Pankin, who became Soviet foreign minister after last month's post-coup shakeup in Moscow. Bush told Pankin that he wanted to hear firsthand "how you think things are going. We want to work very closely with you on these important issues."
Bush was awaiting a report from Undersecretary of Commerce Richard Crowder. Crowder recently visited Moscow to determine the severity of the economic situation in the face of the upcoming winter.
The Soviets told European leaders last week they need $14.7 billion in aid and credits to get through the winter, double their previous request.
U.S. troops, Patriot missiles will return to Saudi Arabia
The Associated Press
The Patriots, which played a significant role in foiling Iraqi Seud missile attacks during the Persian Gulf War, are getting from how and will leave from Germany early today, the official said.
WASHINGTON — The United States will send nearly 100 Patriot missiles and 1,300 troops to Saudi Arabia to ease that nation's concern about rising tensions in the region. The Pentagon official said yesterday.
Word of the decision came as Iraqi troops again detained the 44 U.N. inspectors searching for evidence of a nuclear weapons program in the country. President Bush condemned Baghdad's
unacceptable behavior, and the U.N. Security Council demanded the inspectors' release.
Bush said last week that he would provide the missiles to the Saudis for defensive purposes.
The Saudis requested the weapons as tensions heated in the Persian Gulf region regarding Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's refusal to cooperate with the U.N. inspectors.
White House press secretary Martin Fitzwater said Iraq still possessed "several hundred Scud missiles of the type used against Saudi Arabia during the gulf war."
Bush also made clear that he was willing to send warplanes back into the gulf if necessary to
The official said that the U.S. contingent would be composed of two Patriot missile battalions.
allow the U.N. inspectors to go about their business.
Each battalion will have 48 missiles and will be accompanied by 696 soldiers, the official said.
The Pentagon announced last week that it intended to make the weapons available from its stocks. The number and the timing of the deployment remained uncertain.
A formal announcement may be made once the deployment starts, the official said.
Pentagon press secretary Pete Williams said that the anti-missile weapons were requested by King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.
