U.S. looks for missing fliers
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Navy scaveted the seas off Libya yesterday in a relentless air and ship search for two fliers from an Air Force F-11F fighter-bomber that has been missing since the attack on Libya, the Pentagon said.
Pentagon officials did not rule out the possibility the plane may have been shot down during the mission, dubbed "Operation Elderado Canyon" by the Pentagon.
Officials do not know whether the F-111F was downed, said Pentagon spokesman Robert Sims. The plane did not report to its rendezvous point after the attack.
"We don't have anything to indicate that they elected," he said.
Pentagon teams held out little hope of finding the two-man crew.
The plot of the missing plane was Cap. Fernando L. Ribas-Dominici, 33, of Puerto
Rico, and the weapons officer was Capt. Paul F. Lorence, 31, of San Francisco, the Air Force said. The plane was attached to the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing at the British base of Lakenheath, England.
Ribas-Dominici's brother said the family received word that the swing-wing aircraft crashed into the sea.
A second twin-engine F-111F was forced to land at a NATO airbase in Rota, Spain, on the way back from the air strike because of an overheated engine. Sims said it would stay there until it was repaired.
he did it. He described the search and rescue operation as extensive and said it was continuing in the dark more than 24 hours after the 33 planes launched the primary attack at 6 p.m. Monday.
"Continuing efforts thus far have shown no evidence of survivors," he told reporters.
He said he was sure the commander of the search operation would exhaust every effort
and not give up looking for the fliers
The carrier groups launched a search and rescue mission for the missing F-111F filters, but Weinberger said there was no indication the sleek swing-wing plane was hit by gunfire or missiles.
"We don't think that there were any planes that we know of that were hit by fire," Weinberger said in a television interview. "We are continuing to make every effort to locate the one plane that is still unreported."
But other Pentagon officials would not rule out the possibility the plane had been shot down and the Pentagon declined to pinpoint the location of the search.
the location of the mission. Pentagon sources familiar with the mission said the P-111Fs went in low and fast to the attack with their autopilots on and that a technical malfunction could have caused the $30 million列 to crash.
"There's not much chance we'll ever find them," one source said of the crew.
Libya condemns Tripoli attack at urgent U.N. council meeting
United Press International
UNITED NATIONS — Libya condemned the United States in an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council yesterday for the U.S. military attack on Tripoli and other targets in the North African country.
The Libyans also condemned British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government for providing logistical support for the U.S. raid.
The United States said the attack on Libya was an exercise of its right of self-defense allowed by the U.N. Charter.
The raid was carried out by 18 F-111 fighter-bombers and 15 A-6 Intruder Navy attack planes assisted by flying tankers. The U.S. jets struck Tripoli and the port city of Benghazi, hitting military bases and
the headquarters of Libyan leader Moammar Khdafy.
"We condemn the barbaric and savage American military raid, which was conducted with the blessing and support of certain states — first and foremost the United Kingdom," Libyan delegate Rajab Azarkur told the 15-nation council.
Arsenal said the raids were directed at residential areas. He said the embassies of Switzerland and France in Tripoli were under control, the center for the handcapped were destroyed.
U. S. Ambassador Vernon Walters, just back from a trip to European capitals where he sought support for the U.S. action, said the United States had direct, precise and irrefutable evidence that Libya directed the bombing of a nightclub in West Berlin, which killed a U.S. soldier and a Turkish woman.
