Haiti forces open foreign gas pumps
The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Army-backed officials have forced foreign gasoline distributors to open their storage depots and turn their backs on a worldwide fuel embargo, diplomats and company officials said yesterday.
For the first time in weeks, gas flowed freely yesterday from most Esso and Texaco stations. Under pressure, Shell, the third major oil company servicing Haiti, began pumping fuel a day earlier.
A right-wing extremist called the flow of gas a "victory" for those who have resisted the international community's campaign to return exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
A pro-Aristide senator, Rony Mondestin, acknowledged the release of the gasoline "could be perceived as a retreat by the international community."
The right-wing extremist, Carl Denis, and a leader of an army-backed political movement also threatened to shut down Parliament if lawmakers did not call a new presidential election and declare Aristide's position vacant.
The right-wing call reflects the confidence of the army and its supporters, who called the international community's bluff and ignored a U.N. agreement calling
for Aristide's return on Oct. 30.
Washington stationed warships off this Caribbean nation and backed U.N. economic sanctions on Haiti but in recent weeks has made the return of Aristide a lower priority.
Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher left Haiti off a list of six major foreign policy issues. The threat of foreign intervention has come under attack by some American conservative lawmakers, who have questioned Aristide's democratic credentials. Aristide was overthrown by the military in a bloody September 1991 coup.
Representatives for the oil companies, which had pledged to uphold the 4-week-old U.N. embargo, said their subsidiaries had no other choice but to release the fuel.
"Employees were compelled to begin distribution of fuel as a result of enforcement action taken by the Haitian justice authorities," Ed Burwell, an Exxon representative, said. He would not elaborate on the pressure placed on the employees of Esso, the Bahamas-based affiliate serving Haiti.
A Texaco representative, Jim Reisner, said he had no independent confirmation that the British-based subsidiary was providing fuel.
Court rejects deportation of suspected Nazi war criminal
CINCINNATI — John Demanjuk's fight to remain in the United States got a boost yesterday when a federal appeals panel threw out its order that allowed his extradition to Israel to face Nazi war crimes charges.
The Associated Press
The government said it remained convinced that the 73-year-old retired autoworker was a war criminal and promised to pursue his deportation.
The ruling overturned the appeals court's 1985 decision authorizing Demjanjuk's extradition. The ruling did not suggest whether sanctions against the lawyers should be pursued.
The three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Justice Department lawyers had withheld information that Demanjuk could have used to fight extradition.
Justice Department representative John Russell said the department was reviewing its options but intended "to
effect Demjanjuk's prompt removal from the United States as soon as his legal status is resolved."
The department could ask the 6th Circuit to reconsider the ruling or could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Denjanjuk spent seven years in an Israeli prison while he challenged charges that he was "Ivan the Terrible," a sadistic guard who tortured and killed Jews at the Treblinka camp in Poland. He was sentenced to death in 1988.
In July, the Israeli Supreme Court overturned the conviction, saying prosecutors hadn't proved Demjanjuk was Ivan.
He was released Sept. 21 and returned to the United States the next day.
The ruling could help Denjanjuk's fight to stay in the United States and regain his U.S. citizenship, which was revoked in 1881 for lying to gain entry to this country.
General takes control in Nigeria
The Associated Press
LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria's military-installed leader resigned yesterday, and a general who took part in two previous coups assumed control of the country, Nigerian radio and diplomats said.
Ernest Shonekan, who succeeded dictator Gen. Ibrahim Babangida on Aug. 26, stepped down and was replaced by Gen. Sani Abacha, the defense minister, state-run radio said.
Abacha, a key figure in the coup that ended the civilian government in 1983 and the coup that put Babangida in power two years later, had been considered to be the real power behind Shonekan.
Diplomats said Shonekan's departure was due to turmoil that resulted from Babangida's decision to void the June 12 presidential election that was to return the nation to an elected civilian government.
It also came in the midst of a general strike that has paralyzed major cities to protest last week's sevenfold increase in gasoline prices.
