Hervi Camp, Iran
50 Kurds trek to safety in Iran
Iranian medical workers, trying to revive a 1-year-old boy nearly frozen to death, used the closest they had to an incubator: a large metal tray held over the campfire.
He was one of the lucky ones last week. He lived.
The boy had spent 17 days with about 50 refugees a tree across the jagged mountains to feed them.
Led by a former Iraqi agriculture official, the 13 families fled in a tractor-trailer, using only two large stones as brakes.
But the families completed the 370-mile trek from the Iraqi town of Tuz Khurmatu to this camp near Paveh with no deaths, said the group's leader.
"The brakes were very good," he said with a wry smile.
Now settled in a small tent with his wife and five children, the Iraqi Kurt asked that his name not be used for fear that friends and relatives left behind would suffer reprisals.

Discovery begins research flight
The space shuttle Discovery thundered into orbit with seven astronauts yesterday on a "Star War" research mission that promises to be one of the most complicated flights in shuttle history.
The spaceship roared from its seaside launch pad at 6:33 a.m. CPT, climbing through a fairly open canyon.
Once Discovery was settled in its 161-mile orbit, hush commander and veteran spaceman Michael Coats told Mission Control that everything seemed to be going pretty well.
"We've got a bunch of kids in the candy stor up here having a ball." Coats said.
"How sweet it is," gushed Michael Harrison, a research official for the Strategic Defense Initiative, better known as "Star Wars." ■ From The Associated Press
Iraq rebuilds military despite U.N. embargo
The Associated Press
LONDON — A respected British newspaper reported yesterday that Saddam Hussein was rebuilding his defeated army in defence of the United Nations in order to crush internal dissent.
The Observer newspaper quoted Jordanian sources as saying that the Iraqi leader had set up an operation in Jordan to illegally buy military weapons in Jordan supported Iraq during the Persian Gulf War.
Iraq is also smuggling in spare parts and ammunition, reportedly from North Korea and Afghanistan.
Arms factories are being reassembled to produce mortars, ammunition and armor plate for the Iraqi forces.
After its defeat in the gulf war, Iraq agreed under an April 3 cease-fire to destroy its chemical and biological weapons and ballistic missile systems under U.N. supervision and give up developing or buy such arms or nuclear weapons.
A U.N. arms embargo that was placed upon Iraq when it invaded Kuwait in August, was also extended indefinitely.
The newspaper's Jordanian sources said their country was now the principal conduit for illicit imports to Iraq. Jordan's prime minister, Muhair had been implicated in the pact, it said.
At the same time, the Iraqi leader has been struggling to retain control of the country. Two rebellions against his rule that erupted in the wake of the war have been largely crushed.
According to the Observer's sources, the arms are being shipped through Singapore to disguise their involvement.
To buy such weapons, Iraq uses money from accounts in Jordan and from funds in Swiss bank
KGB-CIA hostility flares
U.S. officials: Soviets are taking advantage of travelers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The KGB is taking advantage of the growing flow of travelers between the United States and Soviet Union to increase its spying on citizens and steal their secrets, U.S. officials say.
The KGB also recently resumed a campaign to discredit the United States in domestic and foreign newspapers, planting stories such as one last month in a Zimbabwe newspaper that claimed that the United States was exporting condoms laced with AIDS-infected lubricants, officials say.
Nowwithstanding the KGB's splashy new image, complete with a Miss KGB contest and a TV series titled "The KGB Tells All," U.S. analysts think the KGB has as hostile as it was during its Stalinist heddy
This stepped-up activity appears to contradict a seeming lull in KGB hostility, including almost idyllic scenes of Soviet agents sharing information on drug-smuggling and on terrorism with the CIA.
Ray Mislock, head of the FBI's Soviet section, said, "The level of activity we have seen is as high as it's ever been," but that access for the KGB to U.S. targets had dramatically changed.
U. S. officials were generally skeptical of this relaxation. Now they feel vindicated.
With the easing of Cold War tensions, the number of tourists, students and business people traveling across the Atlantic Ocean has grown significantly.
Two U.S. students in Leningrad, for example, reported recently that they had been approached and told they would not be allowed to complete the study. In response they started a relationship with the Soviets, Mislock said.
