Persian Gulf war escalates; Iran to battle U.S. and Iraq
The Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Iran began full mobilization yesterday to confront the United States and Iraq, and it fired a missile into Kuwait that struck near a U.S.-run oil field. Iran fired an explosive into three Iranian cities.
The official Islamic Republic News Agency said Iranian forces killed or wounded 300 Iraqis and captured more than 250 in the Shemiran mountain region of Kurdistan in northern Iraq.
Iraq claimed its forces were mopping up Iranian pockets of resistance in Iraq's southern Faw peninsula after recapturing the region two years after the Iranians overran it.
Iraq also said it would stop bombarding Iranian cities beginning at midnight yesterday (4 p.m. EDT) as the U.S. forces, the Iraqi news agency reported.
There was no immediate response from Iran. Hundreds have been killed in the exchanges since Feb. 29 and two coase fires lasted only a few days.
The clashes with the U.S. Navy and the unexpected Iraqi recapture of the Faw Peninsula the first major battle in two weeks — clearly have looted the Iranians.
MAGNOLIAMISM VIEW: The Supreme Court said that the government may continue viewing alcoholism as "willful misconduct" rather than an uncontrollable disease when awarding veterans education benefits. The justices did not attempt to decide whether alcoholism is determined in attaching that the medical administration is deprived sharply divided on issue Instead, the 4-3 decision said the Veterans Administration did not violate a law protecting the rights of the handicapped when it refused to extend education benefits to two men for more than 10 years after they left the service.

occupied lands, where soldiers shot one Arab to death and wounded 10. Arabs hung black banners and held mock funerals for PLO military commander Khaili Wazir, who was assassinated last week at his home in Tunis and buried yesterday in Damascus, Syria.
COLUMNIST KILLED: A newspaper columnist known for his biting articles about local politicians and businessmen was shot to death in his car in Tijuana, Mexico, authorities said. Hector Felix, the 46-year old co-editor of Zeta, was hit in the head and arm by three gunblasts as he drove alone, said District Attorney Francisco Dominguez. There was no known motive for the attack. He was placed two miles from Zeta's offices and eight miles east of downtown, police said.
HELICOPTER SEARCH ABANDONED: A spokesman said yesterday that the Pentagon had called off the search for a Marine helicopter
and its two crewmen missing in the Persian Gulf and disclosed that the Pentagon was investigating a radio transmission to the aircraft heard before it disappeared. Iran has claimed that it shot down the missing helicopter on Monday as Iranian and U.S. forces clashed in the gulf.
SUIT FILED: The family of an American engineer slain by the Contras in Nicaragua filed a $50 million wrongful death suit yesterday against rebel leaders and accused the Reagan administration of covering up the incident. He was charged with attempted to death April 28, 1987, when Contra troops attacked the small hydroelectric project he was helping to build in northern Nicaragua.
PICTURES RELEASED: The Air Force, lifting a decade-long veil of secrecy, yesterday released pictures of its Stealth bomber. A spokesman said the plane would make its first test flight this fall.
