12 people die in South Africa from assailant's open gunfire
The Associated Press
JOHNNSBURG, South Africa — Assailants burst into a home in a black township near Durban yesterday and opened fire with automatic weapons, killing 12 people, including seven children.
Officials of the United Democratic Front anti-apartheid coalition accused the Zulu movement, Inkatha, of attacking the home of Willie Ntuli, father of a prominent UDF member, in revenge for recent killings of Inkatha followers.
Mangosuthu Buthelezi, leader of Inkatha and chief minister of the KwaZulu homeland, said in a statement that the deaths were probably a continuation of the internecine
clashes between rival black groups in Natal province. Much of that fighting has been between Inkatha and the UDF.
Charl du Toit, Durban police spokesman, said Ntuli, 50, was among the victims, and five of the children killed by the unidentified gunmen were ages 7 or younger.
Maj. du Toit said two people were wounded by the spray of fire from AK-47 assault rifles. A 10-year-old boy escaped injury by hiding in a closet, but four of his brothers and sisters were killed, du Toit said.
He said police were using tracker dogs to hunt the killers in the Kwa-Makhuta black township near Amaranzah, 15 miles south of Durbar.
influx, is miles south of Bordeaux.
More than 2,200 people have been
killed because of political and racial unrest since September 1884.
The government declared a state of emergency last June and imposed restrictions on journalists. Limits later were broadened to ban or restrict reporting about unrest, security force actions, treatment of detainees, most forms of peaceful protest and statements the government considered subversive.
Joseph Gumbi, an official of the anti-apartheid coalition in Durban, said Nutil's son, Vincent, is a leading member of the Kwa-Makuta Youth League, which is affiliated with the United Democratic Front. He said Vincent probably was the main target, but that Vincent went into hiding last week and was not in the house during the shooting.
Religious groups urge hospitals to resist anti-abortion movements
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Religious supporters of legal abortions urged yesterday that hospitals should resist picketing, boycotts and other pressures aimed at ending abortions in their buildings.
"Local hospitals are prime targets (of anti-abortion action) for a number of reasons, but the bottom line is vulnerability," said the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights, an interfaith group of 30 denominations and religious agencies.
The coalition said it was concerned about attempts to use religion to intimidate hospitals, particularly those affiliated with their member groups.
Acting on the eve of the 14th anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing most abortions, the coalition issued a new pamphlet to aid hospitals under attack.
Hospitals and clinics have increasingly become targets of the antiabortion movement because they have been unable to secure congressional passage of a proposed constitutional amendment overturning the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision.
Today, thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators are expected to gather on the Ellipse near the White House for the annual March for Life to Capitol Hill and Supreme Court and demand an end to legal abortion.
Abortion opponents said they were hoping the administration would use the event to announce its support for a so-called superbill drafted largely by Reps. Jack Kemp, R-N-Y, and Henry Hyde, R-III, that would include a "finding" that the Supreme Court erred "in not recognizing" the "humanity" of a fetus and that all abortions "take the life of an unborn child."
"Unable to pass legislation to reverse the 1973 decision, or to ban abortion under all circumstances, anti-choice groups are seeking to eliminate access to abortion services." the coalition said.
It said pressure on hospitals to stop performing abortions took a variety of tactics, including initial efforts to meet with administrators of a hospital, but that often escalates into picketing and economic or other kinds of boycots, such as blood donor boycouts, of the facility.
Religious supporters of legal abortion see the actions against hospitals and clinics as a major element at this stage of the dispute.
The proposal would also make permanent language that prohibits federal financing of abortions and restrict financing to any organization that not only provides abortions but also makes abortion referrals.
While Reagan has repeatedly announced his support of anti-abortion efforts, he has not yet made the issue
