Syrians raid American University in Beirut, arrest militia suspects
BEIRUT — Syrian troops trying to crush Muslim militias who once ruled west Beirut, stormed residence halls at the American University in Beirut yesterday and arrested students suspected of belonging to militia groups.
Brandishing Soviet-made automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, the Syrian troops arrived at dawn in three trucks at the university's residence halls, witnesses said.
The soldiers searched the buildings and found several handguns and knives, then arrested about 15 students thought to belong to militias. The Syrians bundled the students into trucks and drove off.
Some of the detainees were released after questioning, Lebanese police sources said.
The Syrian roundup at the university was the first inside the university since Damascus dispatched 7,000 troops to west Beirut
In southern Beirut, a Syrian attempt to send a five-car convoy of food, medicine and clothing into the beaguered Shatila Palestinian refugee camp failed. The convoy was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire.
A Palestinian spokesman said five relief workers in the convoy, arranged by a Sumi Muslim charity group, were wounded.
DUBLIN, Ireland — Self-made millionaire Charles Haughey was elected prime minister of Ireland yesterday by a single vote in parliament, a tie-breaker cast by House Speaker Sean Treacy.
Irish prime minister elected by one vote
In a dramatic first session, the newly elected Deil, the Irish parliament, deadlocked 82-82 on Haughey's election as prime minister, forcing the House speaker to cast the deciding vote.
The vote put Haughey, 61, at the head of a minority government that observers speculate may not survive. Haughey's Fiaanna
party won only 81 seats in the 166 member Dail.
Hauhey, who has served twice before as prime minister, comes to power in the midst of an economic crisis consisting of record unemployment, rising emigration, cripping taxation and a huge national debt.
Haughey's success in securing a majority yesterday came down to three independents — Treacy of Tipperary, Tony Gregory of Dublin and Neil Blaney of Donegal.

Babbitt seeking Democratic nomination
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Former Arizona Gov. Bruce E. Babbitt, drawing applause when he criticized "amateurs in charge of the White House," declared his candidacy yesterday for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination.
Moving quickly to try to separate himself from his rivals for the nomination. Babbitt proposed
