Thousands join protest
over Aquino reports
MANILA About 10,000 people demanding the resignation
of President Ferdinand Marcos marched into central Manila
Thursday to protest official reports on the murder last year ot
Philippine opposition leader Benigno Aquino. The demonstra
tors, chanting "Marcos resign" and waving red and yellow flags,
were led by the former senator's widow, Corazon Aquino, and
his brother Agapito, who said the president should have been
implicated in the reports. Agapito said protest marches would
continue with or without official permission. Thursday's march
was illegal although organizers did have a permit to hold a
rally. Police did not interfere and reported no incidents.
A report released Wednesday by four of the five members of
an inquiry commission said the armed forces chief of staff, Gen.
Fabian Ver, two other generals, 22 soldiers and a civilian were
part of a conspiracy to kill Aquino. A separate report issued
earlier by the commission's chairman, former Judge Corazon
Agrava, named only seven soldiers including one of the lower
ranking generals. Marcos has ordered a special ombudsman's
office that investigates civil and criminal complaints against
government officials to deal with both reports and the office
announced the start of its preliminary investigation. Ver went
on temporary leave pending resolution of the case and Lt. Gen.
Fidel Ramos, his deputy, wa3 named to replace him.
Ethiopians will get food by air
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia The Ethiopian government,
stepping up operations against a potentially catastrophic
drought, plans a massive airlift of food to remote areas which
cannot be reached by road, official relief sources said Thurs
day. The government's Relief and Rehabilitation Commission
was to hold an emergency meeting with Western donor
governments and agencies shortly to discuss the plan, RRC
sources said. Wednesday RRC chief Dawit Wolde Giorgis
appealed to the international community to mount an air
borne relief operation, saying time was running out for many of
the 6.4 million people facing starvation in Ethiopia's worst
drought in 10 years.
In an unprecedented step, the RRC this week began using
two Soviet-built Antonov military transport aircraft to ferry
emergency food supplies to some 50,000 people who have
sought shelter in the northern town of Makalle, the sources
said. The U.N. World Food Program warned this month that
almost one million Ethiopians could starve unless there was a
huge supply of emergency food aid by the end of November.
Western diplomats said Washington was paying for the fuel
for the two Soviet-built aircraft in use in Ethiopia. U.S. Aid
officials said Washington was sending nearly $40 million worth
of grain and over $6 million to help with transport costs.
Arrests put Mafia 'on the run'
PALERMO, Sicily Fifty-four more suspected Mafia mem
bers have been rounded up on evidence provided by former
godfather Tommaso Buscetta, whose revelations already have
put 70 people behind bars, police said. The overnight arrests,
mostly in the Palermo area, followed an operation late in Sep
tember when police detained 70 suspects and served 200
warrants on people already in jail. Magistrates acting on tips by
Buscetta have ordered the arrest of 366 people on charges
including murder, drug trafficking and possession of arms
In New York Wednesday leaders ofthe Colombo "crime fam
ily" were indicted in a federal court. "We have the Mafia on the
run," U.S. Attorney General William French Smith said in
announcing the indictment of 1 1 Colombo family" members
on charges of racketeering, extortion, theft and bribery of
federal officials.
Shi'ite militia captures kidnappers
BEIRUT The Shi'ite Moslem militia Ama said Thursday
night it had arrested the kidnappers of four Lebanese
employees ofthe Associate Press news agency who were freed
unharmed earlier after being held for 32 hours. Citing "security
reasons the source declined to identify the kidnappers, say
how many were being held or specify what punishment was
envisaged.
AP Middle East Chief Correspondent Terry Anderson said

refused to give their identity or any reason for the abduction.
The four had been driving to work Wednesday mornfeg when
they were seized two blocks from the AP odce. Their release
appeared to have been secured largely with the help of Justice
