Pakistani leader wants to form coalition
The Associated Press
KARACHI, Pakistan — Benazir Bhutto's populist party defeated the right wing in the first free election since a coup ousted her father 11 years ago, and she expressed confidence yesterday that she can form a majority coalition.
Bhutto said her Pakistan People's Party "has emerged as the largest party in the National Assembly as a result of Wednesday's parliamentary election.
"Given consultations with different groups and independent people, we are confident that we can get a simple majority," the 35-year-old political leader declared after arriving in this southern city for coalition talks. Site would be the first woman to lead a Muslim nation.

her party captured 92 seats in the 237-member assembly, compared with 55 for the nine-party conservative Islamic Democratic Alliance. The alliance includes supporters of Gen. Mohammed Zia ul-Haq, the military president killed in a plane crash three months ago.
At her family home in Larkana earlier yesterday, Bhutto urged President Ghulam Ishaq Khan to give her party the mandate to form a government.
She said she would begin coalition talks today, but would not name parties on the list. Likely candidates are some of her left-leaning partners in the former opposition alliance called the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy.
Estonian leaders called to Moscow
MOSCOW — The Kremlin summoned Estonian leaders to Moscow yesterday and expressed serious doubt about the constitutionality of the tiny Baltic republic's unprecedented challenge to its authority.

In Lithuania, meanwhile, residents gathered outside their parliament building with banners and flags, watching on live television as their legislators convened a session at which they will debate a similar challenge to Moscow's authority.
In Latvia, the third of the uneasy Baltic republics, residents prepared for demonstrations and rallies today on the 70th anniversary of the birth of their short-lived independent nation.
their short-river independence State Department spokesman Charles Redman said in Washington, "The United States does not recognize the forcible incorporation of the Baltic states . . . The people of the Baltic states have been denied their basic human rights."
1ne Estonian Supreme Soviet, or parliament, overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment Wednesday requiring Estonian approval of
any new Soviet law.
the parliament also approved a "declaration of sovereignty" asserting Estonia's independence in all areas except defense and foreign affairs.
"The dialogue has begun," said Igor Grazin, the Estonian lawyer who wrote the amendment and will defend it before the federal Supreme Soviet's Presidium.
On their way to Moscow, Estonian leaders expressed satisfaction with a constitutional amendment reserving the right to review all new Soviet laws, and said they were prepared to argue the issue with Kremlin leaders.
"Perestroika is a hope and democracy is a hope, and every hope has a moment of unasee," the newly elected Estonian premier, Indrek Toome, said during a flight from Tallinn to Moscow.
The Estonian parliament made its challenge under the banner of the reform effort President Mikhail S. Gorbachev calls perestroika. The challenge illustrates Gorbachev's continuing serious problems with rising ethnic feelings, which, if successful, could spread to other areas.
Moscow's first reaction yesterday was measured but skeptical.
taking into consideration that the amendment and a number of other documents adopted by the Estonian parliament are at variance with the provisions of the current Constitution of the U.S.S.R., the Presidium of the U.S.S.R., or the above-mentioned issue at its next meeting, with representatives of the Estonian republic to be invited," the Tass news agency reported.
Pass the New York City exam.
The Presidium is the Soviet government's highest executive authority and Gorbachev serves as its chairman.
Tass said committees of the national Supreme Soviet were ordered to prepare an analysis of the issue, which it said "affects the initial principles of the building and unity of the Soviet socialist federation."
Tass did not say when the meeting would take place, but presumably it would be before the national parliament goes into session again Nov. 29.
Swiss Red Cross official kidnapped in Lebanon
SIDON, Lebanon — A Swiss representative of the International Red Cross was kidnapped yesterday in Sidon, and police said his captors might intend to swap him for an aircraft hijacker held in Switzerland.

The Palestine Liberation Organization blamed the abduction on enemies trying to discredit its newly proclaimed state of Palestine.
In Geneva, the International Committee of the Red Cross appealed for the immediate release of Peter Winkler, 32. Joerg Bischof, spokesman, said other representatives had been kidnapped in Lebanon but were released after a few hours.
Police said Winkler was taken from his car at 8:45 a.m. in Hisbheh Square in Sidon, the provincial capital of south Lebanon.
The motive for the kidnapping might be to trade Winkler, head of Resistance and Russia, with Hussin Harari the Lebanese Shite Muslim hijacker held in Switzerland.
Hariir, 22, commandeered an Air Afrique jetliner on a flight from Rome to Paris and forced it to land in Geneva on July 24, 1987. He killed a French passenger before the crew overpowered him.
Fourteen other foreigners, including nine from the United States, are missing in Lebanon.
