Israeli troops kill three guerrillas
Israeli troops killed three Palestinian guerrillas who were trying to infiltrate Israel from a U.N.-controlled buffer zone between Israel and Syria, the army said yesterday.
The guerrillas belonged to the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a hardline pro-Syrian faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the army said. The front, called Hayfat Hawatmim, has called on the Palestinians to boycott proposed Middle East peace talks.
The guerrillas were killed Sunday, a day before the Palestine National Council, the Palestinians' parliament-in-exile, opened debate on whether the PLO should approve Palestinian participation in a U.S.-sponsored peace conference.
An Israeli patrol spotted the three men close to the Israeli border in the Mount Hermon region.

$10 million of cocaine seized
Anti-narcotics agents intercepted a car carrying 143 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $10 million and arrested a Venezuelan man and a Guatemalan woman, police said yesterday.
Capt. Cesar Augusto Somoza said the drugs
were safe when the car tried to
enter Hammurabu from Nijigara.
Somozha identified the suspects as Rafael Enrique Guardia, 42, and Marcel Margues, 32.
"We discovered 115 packages of cocaine concealed in a false bottom built in the back of the case."
For years, Honduras has been a major trafficking point for drugs smuggled from South America.

But the opposition remained inside the broadcast studio. About 100 protesters occupied the building early Sunday and later were protesters and rebel members of the Georgian National Guard.

Bush talks tough on Saddam
The Associated Press
Knight-Ridder Tribune News
UNITED NATIONS - *preset* Bush told the United Nations yesterday that he could not compromise on demanding that Iraq destroy its nuclear weapons capabilities.
While talking tough on Iraq, Bush set no deadline for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to unconditionally submit to inspection and destruction of his most dangerous weapons or face renewed military force. Bush did say the U.N. should be given access to Iraq clamped on Iraq as long as Saddam remains in control.
Bush reworked his speech at Camp David during the weekend, and he tinkered with the section on Iraq before leaving the White House yesterday as Iraqi soldiers were detaining U.N. inspectors who were trying to take nuclear-weapons documents from a building in Baghdad.
Bush was unreserved in his condemnation of Saddam, calling him a brutal dictator whose disenclosed dishonored the Iraqi people.
"And this also shows that we cannot compromise for a moment in seeing that Iraq destroys all of its weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them," he said.
