Israel's blitz tries to halt guerrillas
The Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Israeli aircraft and artillery bombarded Hezbollah targets in Beirut and southern Lebanon yesterday in an effort to increase pressure on Lebanon and Syria to cripple the guerrillas.
Israel said it was ready to negotiate an end to its five-day-old offensive but would not initiate talks. Hezbollah, however, launched more rockets on northern Israel and claimed to have dozens of suicide bombers ready to attack.
All told, 35 people have been killed and 133 wounded since skirmishes between Hezbollah and Israel ignited into a major Israeli offensive last week. Apart from
Seven Lebanese civilians were killed and 20 people were wounded in the Israeli attacks Monday, Lebanese police reported. Eight Israelis were slightly wounded by Hezbollah rockets.

"Our human bomb brigade is going to concentrate vengeance on Israel. We'll strike at the United States when it directly intervenes against us," said Hezbollah's second-in-command, Sheik Naim Qassem.
Hamas, the Palestinian group whose suicide bombings have Israel reeling, said it had joined the rocketing of northern Israel from Lebanon. A representative called on Hamas activists in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to carry out their assigned missions.
one Israeli soldier, the dead have all been Lebanese civilians.
Despite a rush of diplomatic activity, cease-fire prospects seemed dim.
Secretary of State Warren Christopher sought to end the bloodshed in talks with Lebanese leaders and the foreign ministers of Israel and Syria, which has 40,000 troops in Lebanon and controls its government.
troops from southern Lebanon.
Israel hopes the air raids and the hundreds of thousands of fleeing refugees will pressure Lebanon and Syria to disarm the Iranian-backed Hezbollah. For years, the Shiite Muslim guerrillas have attacked Israeli troops and fired rockets at Israel to drive Israeli
Hezbollah claims it had suffered no casualties in the Israeli onslaught. There was no way to verify that claim. The offensive failed to curb the attack on northern Israel: Hezbollah fired 90 Katyusha rockets Sunday and unleashed intermittent salvos yesterday.
The Israeli army said several
In southern Lebanon yesterday, Israeli jets, helicopter gunships and artillery battered suspected guerrilla hideouts in communities that have been largely abandoned by residents.
The Israeli offensive has driven some 400,000 residents of the south — 10 percent of Lebanon's population — from their homes.
Katyusha barrages had hit Galilee yesterday, slightly wounding eight people. One rocket fell outside a synagogue in the border town of Kiryat Shemona.
"We didn't turn and will not turn to anyone," Peres said. "On the other hand, if requests are being made to us, we will respond to such requests and consider them."
The intensity of the campaign against Hezbollah, while not unprecedented, has been colored in part by Peres' desire to prove to Israeli voters before May 29 elections that he is not soft on security.
In Nahariya, Prime Minister Shimon Peres said Israel was prepared to talk peace but would not begin talks.
Gun battle erupts at U.S.-owned mine
Human rights group says incident is result of dispute between two militant forces
The Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A gun battle broke out yesterday when an army lieutenant opened fire in an airport hangar in New Guinea. The military said at least 14 people were killed and 11 wounded.
The shootings occurred in a region that has been the scene of violence linked to a U.S.-owned copper mine. The army said that
there was no link between yesterday's incident and the mine. A human rights group said the shootings apparently were caused by a dispute between two military units.
The gunman, identified as a member of the Indonesian special forces unit known as Kopasus, was captured and was being returned to Jakarta. His name was not made public.
One of the dead was identified as a pilot from New Zealand named Michael Findlay.
The army lieutenant had been escorting the bodies of two soldiers hacked to death Sunday by villagers who accused them of raping two women from a village near Timika, the airport official said.
An airport official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said 16 people were killed and 15 wounded. The official said witnesses reported that 11 of the dead were soldiers and five were civilians. The differing casualty reports could not immediately be reconciled.
The lieutenant began firing randomly in the hangar, the official said.
The military statement quoted army chief of staff Lt. Gen. Soeyono as saying "the soldier was believed to be under severe stress." Soeyono said there was no link between the shooting and the copper mines.
The Legal Aid Institute, a human
rights group, said the shooting appeared to be a fight between two Indonesian military units — local forces keeping order in the region and Kopasus, which is seeking the release of hostages held by pro-independence rebels.
Rebels from the Free Papua Movement have been holding captives, including six Europeans, for several months in an effort to press for the independence of Irian Jaya a former Dutch colony on the western half of the island of New Guinea that was ceded to Indonesia in 1963.
The special forces are commanded by Brig. Gen. Prabowo Subianto, son-in-law of President Suharto.
