Pakistan border village attacked by Afghan warplanes; 51 killed
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Afghan planes attacked a Pakistani border village yesterday, killing at least 51 people in one of the most deadly Afghan air attacks along the border, officials and state television said.
The bomb and napalm attacks in and near the village of Terimangal, 155 miles west of Islamabad, wounded more than 100 people and leveled more than 60 homes and businesses and the village bazaar, officials in the capital said.
The village is located in the Kurram area, where U.S.-backed Alighan guerrilla groups battling Daesh in the Afghan government main bases.
State-run Pakistan television quoted official sources in the Pakistani border city of Peshawar as saying the aircraft dropped cannisters of napalm.
A second wave of Afghan aircrafs attacked at about 4 p.m., officials said. No immediate word militaries or damage was reported.
Afghan warplanes have staged attacks on border villages since U.N.-mediated peace talks began three years ago. Based on official casualty figures from previous attacks, the first raid appeared to be one of the worst single raids by Afghanistan.
Judges refuse to resign in Demjanjuk case
JERUSALEM — Lawyers for John Demjanjuk charged yesterday that judges hearing the case were unfairly biased against Demjanjuk, accused of being a Nazi death camp guard, and should remove themselves from the case. The three-judge panel refused.
Yoram Sheftel, the only Israeli member of the defense team, complained yesterday of what he called unreasonably frequent reprimands and interruptions by the indues.
He charged that the judges, who
will decide Demanjuk's fate in the non-jury death penalty trial, seem prejudiced against the defense. Shettel also complained that local news media accounts were slanted in favor of the prosecution.
Demanjian, 66, a Ukrainian who moved to Cleveland after World War II and became a U.S. citizen, is accused of being the guard "Ivan the Terrible," who operated the gas chambers at the Trebinka death camp in occupied Poland where 850,000 Jews were slaughtered in 1942 and 1943.

Haig to run for president, criticizes Reagan
NEW YORK—Former Secretary of State Alexander Haj Jr., set to declare his candidacy today for the Republican presidential nomination, made a fully veiled attack yesterday on President Reagan's handling of the Iran arms deal.
But Haiga took special care not to criticize Reagan directly, praising the president for helping "America be proud again" and creating a "renaissance of the American spirit."
Haig, 62, resigned from the Rea
gan administration in 1981 after a stormy 18 months as secretary of state.
Speaking at a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel organized by his "Committee for America," the former four-star general said he would formally declare his candidacy for the GOP nomination today.
Haig, who has termed the Iranian arms deal a mistake, stressed that he could provide the leadership the country needs as it enters the 1990s.
Reagan reaffirms support for Star Wars
WASHINGTON — President Reagan said yesterday that his Star Wars anti-missile program had made "remarkable progress" in the four years since he called for development of a system that would render nuclear weapons "imposter and obsolete."

On a day that saw conservatives step up their drive for early deployment of his "space shield" against nuclear missiles, Reagan reaffirmed the long term obje-
Ignoring the deadlock in Geneva over his fierce determination to continue the program, Reagan said that SDI had shown technological promise and that it had been an effective instrument for bringing the Soviets to the bargaining table.
Jury selection begins for subway vigilante
NEW YORK — Subway gunman Bernard Hugo Goetz went on trial yesterday on charges of attempted murder, saying that criminals should realize that getting hurt at the hands of victims who fight back is a risk that they are going to have to take.
In the first stage of the trial, lawyers began selecting 12 jurors
and four alternates from a pool of 104 men and women assembled during three months of preliminary screening, including a nun.
Five hours later, jury selection was recessed for the day, without any jurors having been seated. Twenty prospective jurors were immediately excused for hardship reasons.
