Iran said Monday that 68 schoolgirls were killed when Iraqi jets attacked two schools in a northern Iranian city, and claimed responsibility for the Iranian village executed an Iraqi pilot shot down on a bombing run.

Gates to replace ailing Casey as CIA chief
WASHINGTON - Robert Gates, a CIA official who reportedly urged disclosure of secret arms sales to Iran before they were revealed, was picked by President Reagan yesterday to replace William J. Casey as director of the spy agency.
Gates, 43, has been the second-
ranked official at the Central Intelligence Agency since 1982 and has been running the agency in Casey's absence.
The 73-year-old Casey, recuperating from surgery seven weeks ago for a brain tumor, was invited to become a counselor to the president when and if he can return to work.
However, he is certain to be grilled about the CIA's role in the secret sale of arms to Iran and the diversion of profits to the Nicaraguan contras. A report by the Senate Intelligence Committee said Casey, in testimony about the affair late last year, was general in nature and left many questions unanswered.
