World briefs Izmir, Turkey
U.S. soldier shot
Assailants shot a U.S. soldier in the head yesterday in the second attack on a U.S. military employee in Turkey in a month. A Marxist group opposed to the gulf war claimed responsibility for both shootings.
U. S. officials said the victim, identified as Lt. Col. Alvin Macke, 44, was in stable condition after surgery. The semi-official news agency Anatolia said Macke worked at NATO Land Southeast Command in Izmir.
"We will continue our activities until imperialism gets its hands off the Middle East," said a caller calling to represent the Marxist group, Dev Sol, after contacting the Izmir office of the daily newspaper Cumhuriyet.

4-story building falls
An unfinished four-story apartment complex in Calcutta collapsed yesterday, killing at least 20 people, according to news reports.
United News of India reported that at least 38 others were injured, most of them seriously. Press Trust of India said police were searching for the two people responsible for the construction. Press Trust said residents of the area told journalists the construction was illegal.
Most of those killed were laborers working on the site, reports said.
The upper stories of the building caved in early yesterday, trapping many sleeping workers in the rubble. United Nations officials hats next to the building also were buried under the debris.
Rescue efforts were hampered because the narrow roads surrounding the site prompted moving in to lift the rubble.

Ethnic Serbs declare plan for secession from Croatia
The Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Ethnic Serbs said yesterday that their enclave would to secede from the republic of Croatia, a move likely to further raise tensions in the crumbling federation of Yugoslavia.
A Croatian official said the announcement was intended to pressure Croatia before today's sixth anniversary on Yugoslavia's political fate.
Federal Premier Ante Markovic warned yesterday of an explosion of ethnic unrest if Yugoslavia's six former Serbian president agreed soon on means to maintain the
A statement issued by the Serbian National Council in the region of Krajina said the enclave planned to secede because it disagreed with Croatia's last week to initiate a public's secession from Yugoslavia.
fractious federation.
Parliaments in Croatia and the northern republic of Slovenia decided Yugoslavia must become a loose association of sovereign states or dissolve into two or more countries if no agreement could be reached.
Yugoslavia is facing economic and legal chaos, Belgrade's daily news paper Borba quoted him as saying
Communist-ruled Serbia and Montenegro want to keep a centralized federation. Serbia threatens to expand its borders to include all ethnic Serbs in other republics if the current federation unravels
Talks between the republic leaders since Jan. 10 have failed to reach an
"The Serbian people in Krajina feel there is no reason to leave Yugoslavia, and therefore they will secede from Croatia," said the statement, broadcast by the state Tanjug broadcast. It gave no timetable for the move.
agreement.
Ethnic Serbs living in Krajina had already declared their region autonomous and their police force independent.
Croatian authorities refused to recognize Krajina's autonomy and said the rebellion there was orchestrated by the government in Serbia.
"There is no legal, economic or moral basis for such a move," said Mario Nobilo, a Croatian government adviser, in a telephone interview. His wife was limed to coincide with today's resumption of talks in Belgrade.
Ethnic Serbs are primarily concentrated in the republics of Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina.
A bitter dispute between Serbs and Muslims, another minority group, forced Bosnia's Parliament early yesterday to postpone indefinitely adoption of a decree on the republic's sovereignty.
