First Israeli soldier killed in four-month occupation
The Associated Press
BETHLEHEM. Occupied West Bank — a gunman yesterday opened fire at close standing on a reserve soldier guarding near a Palestinian refugee camp, marking the first Israeli army fatality in four months of unrest in the occupied lands.
The army's chief of staff, St. Gen. Dan Shomron, said the shooting could foretell greater use of guns by Palestinian activists. He stopped short of saying that it signaled a major change in the tactics of protesters, who mainly had hurled stones and bottles at Israel's occupation forces.
"I don't think we can yet see this as a shift to an armed struggle," he said.
But Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin indicated stronger action would be taken to suppress Palestinian uprisings.

"To the extent that extremist Palestinian terrorist elements try to combine terrorist acts with the civilian disturbances, we will have to adjust our operations and take harsh measures to cope with both," he said.
He was shot two or three times in the head at close range while guarding a government building facing the small Bait Jibrin Palestinian refugee camp in this biblical city, the military said.
Anti-apartheid protesters plan strike
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Anti-apartheid activists pledged to defy authorities today in the first nationwide protest since the government banned black opposition groups last month.
Pamphlets urging a general strike were circulating through black townships in defiance of government regulations. Police have threatened action against strike organizers and have promised to protect blacks who wish to work.
Organizers called for the one-day strike to commemorate the 28th anniversary of the Sharpeville massacre and to protest the ban on the United Democratic Front and other groups.
The Front, which is the country's largest anti-aparthael coalition, coordinated nationwide protests during 21-month-old state of emergency
Sixty-nine blacks were killed in the 1960 massacre in Sharpeville, a township south of Johannesburg, when police fired on thousands of demonstrators protesting pass laws, which were repealed in 1866. Those laws authorized an open-ended part of the national apartheid system of racial segregation.
Salvadorans vote despite explosions
The Associated Press
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Salvadorans defied guerrilla threats and voted yesterday in legislative and municipal elections after explosions ripped through the capital and sabotage knocked out power to much of the nation.
Early turnout was moderate. There were no long lines at polling places in the capital.
At stake were all 60 seats in the National Assembly, the unicameral
legislature. Voters also elected mayors and municipal councils in the country's 262 cities and towns. All terms are for three years.
Official results are not expected until tomorrow.
Pre-election surveys indicated that President Jose Napoleon Duarte's Christian Democrats would lose their majority in the National Assembly and that the right wing Republican Nationalist Alliance, or Arena, would make the biggest gains.

"They would have been briefed about the route of the funeral procession, and the two corporals were not expected to be there and had no requirement to be there." he said.
Cpl. Derek Wood, 24, and Cpl. David Howes, 23 were shot to death in Belfast Saturday after funeral mourners dragged them from their unmarked car, beat them unconscious and stripped them.
The outlawed IRA claimed responsibility for the deaths and the Royal Ulster Constabulary, Northern Ireland's police force, said it was questioning three people.
The army spokesman said the two had been traveling in civilian clothes between the Belfast Battleon's headquarters and near Falls Road and the British army's Northern Ireland headquarters.

Witnesses said the soldiers were thrown into a taxi and driven to a nearby vacant lot where shots were heard and where their naked, bullet-riddled and battered bodies were found a short time later.

Witnesses to the attack Saturday said that the soldiers' car was engulfed by angry mourners who apparently assumed the soldiers were undercover agents spying on the crowd.
