Iranian gunboats attack two ships in Persian Gulf
The Associated Press
MANAMA, Bahrain — Iranian gunboats attacked and set ablaze a Spanish freighter and a Liberian tanker in the Persian Gulf yesterday, two days after an Iraqi attack on a Norweigan vessel left 54 seamen missing and presumed dead.
There have been six maritime attacks since Friday when Iran, in apparent reprisal for the resumption of Iraqi strikes against its oil lifeline, ended a five-week hiatus in assaults on commercial shipping in the oil-rich waterway.
Redesigned poison kills cancer cells
There was no word on casualties aboard the 10,168-ton Spanish refrigerator ship Iberian Reefer, which was still on fire at dusk, hours after it was attacked in the Straits of Hormuz, maritime salvage experts said. Salvage tugboats went to the scene.
Earlier, shipping executives said at least one Iranian gunboat fired rocket-propelled grenades at the 61,762 ton Liberian-registered Fumi, setting its engine room ablaze and blasting holes in one of its tanks.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Scientists have redesigned a potent natural poison so that it seeks out and kills cancer cells in the test tube, signaling a possible new route for fighting some tumors, a scientist said yesterday.
ing breast cancers that have spread elsewhere in the body and some lung and brain tumors, said Ira Pastan of the National Cancer Institute.
The strategy takes advantage of the fact that some cancer cells display on their surface certain kinds of protein structures called receptors. Specific substances bind to each kind of receptor before they enter the cell.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — A U.S. military helicopter crashed yesterday during a training exercise near the Honduran town of Juticalpa, and all 10 U.S. soldiers aboard were injured, U.S. officials reported.
Maj. Gary Hovatter, spokesman for the U.S. forces sent to Honduras last week, said the UH-1 Huey helicopter went down at about 1 p.m. EST. He called the crash an accident.
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Mel Sundin said that
10 people were aboard the helicopter, not nine, as previously thought. Their injuries did not appear to be serious, he said.
"All are in good to excellent condition," Sundin said. He added that those aboard the chopper were U.S. soldiers but did not have further details.
Capt. Nancy LaLumas, a pentagon spokesman, said earlier that no fatalities were reported. She said that other helicopters evacuated the victims for medical treatment but that it
was not clear where they were taken.
One Pentagon official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the cause of the crash appeared to be mechanical.
Hovatter said the helicopter was taking part in an exercise called "Golden Pheasant," in which 3,200 U.S. soldiers arrived in Honduras last week.
Honduras to attack base camps of U.S.-backed Nicaraguan rebels.
President Reagan sent the troops as a warning to Nicaragua after U.S. and Honduran officials said that Nicaraguan soldiers crossed into
Neither Hovatter nor LaLuntas gave further information on the injured soldiers because the victims' relatives had not yet been notified.
The officers said the helicopter crashed about six miles south of Juticalpa. The area is 35 miles north of the Honduras-Nicaragua border and about 60 miles west of the region where Nicaraguan troops battled the rebels last week.
