Rhodesia fights raiders
SALISBURY, Rhodesia—(UPI)
—Rhodesian armored and infantry forces, backed by air strikes, battled anew Tuesday with bands of African guillivas who thrust into Rhodesia from neighboring Zambia in an apparent revenge raid.
Rhodesian authorities said 14 guerrillas had been killed since they moved into the country, apparently across the giant Kariba Lake by canoe Sunday.
An official statement said two Rhodesian soldiers have been killed in the fighting in the thorny bush country of the Zambezi River Valley, 250 miles north of Salisbury.
The fighting—the most serious since bands of African guerrillas infiltrated into the country last
year—was cloaked in official secrecy. The government disclosed few details of the action itself and did not pinpoint the exact area of fighting.
Three nationalist organizations, banned in Rhodesia and headquartered in the Zambian capital of Lusaka, claimed they were responsible for the invasion, and called it a reprisal strike for the hanging two weeks ago of three condemned Africans in Salisbury.
Security Council opens Rhodesian crisis debate
UNITED NATIONS—(UPI) Britain Tuesday called for a "thorough examination" of the Rhodesian crisis by the U.N. Security Council, but refused to agree to an Afro-Asian demand that force was necessary to topple the rebel regime of Ian Smith in Rhodesia.
British Ambassador Lord Caradon told the council it must "at once embark on a thorough examination" of the possibilities of future action.
The council opened debate on the Rhodesian crisis Tuesday afternoon. It met for about an hour and a half, then adjourned until Wednesday.
Premier Ian Smith's breakaway government hanged the three despite the fact they were granted reprieves by Queen Elizabeth II. The hangings touched off worldwide protests and demands by Afro-Asian countries for use of military force to crush the Smith regime.
The meeting was called by 36 Afro-Asian nations following recent executions of Africans by the Smith regime.
