2 Thursday. March 26, 1987 / University Daily Kansan Around the World Troops from Chad capture base; Libyans forces begin to evacuate NDJAMENA. Dad — Libyan troops yesterday began evacuating Gadhaf's largest remaining stronghold in northern Chad, three days after Chad troops captured the base, French officials said. Chad said yesterday its troops had captured or destroyed scores of Soviet-made warplanes, tanks and helicopters, and killed more than 1,200 Libyans when it ousted Libyan troops from an air base in northern Chad this week. Sunday's battle was considered a major turning point in the country's efforts to force Libya out of northern Chad. But a French Defense Ministry official in Paris said an evacuation did not mean the end of Col. Moammar Gadhafi's four-year occupation of the area. A statement quoting the Chad military high command said 438 Libyan fighters were taken prisoner, including the commander of the zone, Col. Khalifa Aboul Aftar. His assistant, Col. Gassim Ali Abu Nawar, was killed. The military said it captured 11 Czech-made L39 bombers, two Italian-made Marchetti ground fire weapons. The French Soviet-made M125 helicopters. Other Soviet-made material captured included 12 T-62 tanks, 42 T-55 tanks and 66 BMP troop-transport tanks and 18 BM21 multiple rocket launchers. The victory also netted 10 radar units, 18 wheeled tanks and nearly 400 combat vehicles armed with batteries of cannons or anti-aircraft missiles. U.S. hostages located, Mideast paper says BEIRUT — A Middle Eastern newspaper said yesterday that Syrian troops in Lebanon had located three U.S. citizens and an Indian-born U.S. resident who were kidnapped in January from the American University in Beirut, and that they would free the hostages before the end of the month. the newspaper report was not independently confirmed, but Hassan Yousef, a spokesman for the pro-Syrian Shiite Muslim Amal movement, said in an interview that "there are positive signs" concerning the plight of the four professors. Syrian military sources, who requested anonymity, denied the report in the newspaper Al Ittihad. In Washington, a State Department official said he did not think the Syrians knew exactly where the hostages were held. Observers in Beirut said that a meeting between Syrian President Hafez Assad and officials from the pro-Iran Muslim extremist group Hezbollah, believed linked to the kidnappers of foreign hostages in Lebanon, touched on the issue of the captives. The meeting came a day after former President Jimmy Carter, who visited Damascus, said Assad had promised to do his utmost to locate and help secure the release of some of the hostages. Israeli Cabinet to hear secret testimony JERUSALEM — The Israeli Cabinet agreed yesterday to accept secret testimony from three key Israeli figures in the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal and to withhold it from the United States, where they could face prosecution. that has been investigating the Pollard case for two weeks. An official statement said Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir would give David Libai, the lawyer for the three Israelis, a Cabinet commitment "with regard to guaranteeing the secrecy of testimony" to a Cabinet-appointed commission Israel radio said their secret testimony would not be divulged to "any foreign power," a clear reference to the United States, where the three Israelis face possible indictment. Those covered by the Cabinet agreement are Yosef Yagur and Ilan Ravid, former science attaches at the Israeli Embassy in Washington and Israel's consulate in New York, and Irit Erb, former embassy secretary in Washington. Across the Country House committee agrees on budget plan WASHINGTON — Democrats on the House Budget Committee, only hours after President Reagan blamed them for holding up the budget process, reached a tentative agreement late yesterday on a fiscal 1988 spending plan. Gray declined to disclose details of the plan, but the committee was Committee Chairman William H. Gray III, D-Pa., announced the tentative agreement after a meeting broke up after 11 p.m. EST. working from a framework designed to produce deficit reduction of at least $36 billion, half from tax increases. By congressional estimates, that deficit reduction would be the same or greater than Reagan's budget proposal. However, like the president's budget, the House plan would miss the fiscal 1988 deficit target of $108 billion prescribed by the Gramm-Rudman law. Supreme Court rules for affirmative action WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, in a major affirmative action victory for women, yesterday ruled 6-3 to allow employers to consider the sex of an applicant in hiring and promoting candidates for jobs traditionally held by men. The ruling, which completed the Court's review of affirmative action this term, brought immediate praise from women's groups and condemnation from conservatives, including three associate justices who viewed the ruling as perverting the intent of Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act.
