Middle Emt conflict contiime
Iranian missiles strike Baghdad, Basra; Iraq retaliates
. ...u u ..uinnA hotaticA wprp firpd at. military and t
NICOSIA. Cvorus Iran launched
missile attacks Sunday against Iraq's
capital of Baghdad and the southern
port city of Basra. Iraq said it hit back
with a "devastating" airraid onAyatol
lah Ruhollah Khomeini's holy city of
Qom.-
Fierce ground fighting was reported
for a third straight day. Communiques
from both sides indicated Iran's forces
were still on the offensive near Basra.
Tehran radio claimed Iranian troops
killed or wounded 1 4,000 Iraqi soldiers
and captured 1,000 since the offensive,
called Karbala-5, began early Friday.
An unidentified Iraqi field com
mander quoted by Iraq's official news
agency said Iran lost 250 tanks in heavy
overnight fighting, with Iranian casual
ties including at least 5,000 dead.
The claims, monitored in Nicosia,
could not be substantiated because
both sides severely restrict foreign cor
respondents' access to the battle zones.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards
command was quoted by Tehran radio
as saying a surface-to-surface missile
was fired at Baghdad at dawn and that
it hit Iraq's air force command.
Tehran radio said three missiles
believed to be Soviet-made Scuds also
were fired at military and economic
targets in Basra.
Iraq confirmed the missile attacks.
But a spokesman denied air headquar
ters was hit. He said the missile explo
ded in a residential area, killing civil
ians. Iraq said its jets, which bombed
Qom Saturday, hit the city again Sun
day. The official Iraqi News Agency
called Sunday's raid "devastating."
Guerrilla leader says Soviets favor
withdrawing forces from Afghanistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A top Afghan guerrilla leader
said Sunday he believes the Soviet Union wants to withdraw
its forces from Afghanistan and may be ready to sacrifice
the Afghan Communist government if necessary.
Gulbaddin Hekmatyrar, head of the Hezbi-i Islami guer
rilla group and one of the most hard-line of the insurgent
leaders, told The Associated Press Moscow's recent state
ment about wanting to pull out of Afghanistan appear
genuine.
He also outlined a series of demands for a settlement,
including direct talks with Moscow.
The Soviet-backed Afghan government has called for a
six-month cease-fire with the guerrillas beginning next
Thursday and proposed forming a government of national
reconciliation to end the eight-year war in Afghanistan. The
Soviet Union has strongly backed the call and said it wants
to remove its forces from its Central Asian neighbor.
Leaders of the seven-Darty guerrilla alliance individually
have rejected the government's proposal and said they will
go on fighting until Afghanistan is free of Soviet control.
"The Russians have realized they cannot crush the
resistance. Now they are trying to solve the problem through
other ways and means," Hekmatyrar said. "They have to
withdraw and they have realized there is no other solution."
Western estimates are that the Soviets have lost up to
8,000 dead in seven years of Soviet military intervention in
Afghanistan.
Soviet withdrawal would be followed by formation of "a
provisional government acceptable to all the Afghan
people, Hekmatyrar said.
: The new Afghan state would guarantee never to allow any
other power to operate from its territory against Soviet
interests, Hekmatyrar said.
In Brief
Marine guard held for espionage
WASHINGTON A Marine guard who had access to classified docu
ments in the U.S. embassy in Moscow is being held on suspicion of
espionage after confessing he gave secrets to a female KGB agent, Pen
tagon sources said Saturday.
Sgt. Clayton J. Lonetree, 25, of Chicago, has been in detention in
Quantico, Va., since late December, when "he acknowledged his involve
ment to U.S. officials in Vienna," said Marine Corps spokesman, Lt. Col.
John ShotwelJ.
No charges have yet been brought against Lonetree, but the investiga
tion is continuing, Shotwell said.
Marcos supporters burn draft charter
MANILA, Philippines Supporters of Ferdinand Marcos burned
copies of the draft constitution Sunday. At another rally thousands of
leftists denounced the charter after police blocked their march on the
presidential palace.
In the capital city of Manila, about 700 riot police and troops backed by
water cannon and firetrucks kept about 5,000 torch-bearing leftists from
marching on Mrs. Aquino s offices at Malacanang Palace to protest the
charter.
ERA again: Not everyone's
ready for another round
WASHINGTON The National
Organization for Women is determined
to prod the Equal Rights Amendment
through Congress again, but other
feminists aren't so sure they're ready
for an emotional repeat of the 1970s
ERA battle.
The ERA was one of the first pieces
of legislation introduced to the new
Congress last week, and its host of
sponsors drew encouragement from the
new Democratic majorities in the
Senate and the House. NOW, the
nation's most visible women's rights
group, has made the amendment its
top priority.
But the last ERA attempt sputtered
to an ignominious end less than five
years ago after a decade's struggle, and
some women's activists wonder if it is
too soon to begin a new, draining fight.
"I don't agree that it will happen
now," said Irene Natividad, chairwoman
of the National Women's Political
Caucus. "Everybody gets tired."
Columnist Ellen Goodman asked
about the ERA "Is it a year to mount
another full-fledged battle for its
passage? Not by my reckoning."
The ERA would prohibit discrimi
nation based on sex.
Like any constitutional amendment,
the ERA faces formidable obstacles: it
needs approval by two-thirds of Con
gress, then must be ratified by three
quarters of the states.
In 1971 the House approved it 354-24
and the Senate followed suit 84-8 in
1972. Although a flurry of states
approved it in 1972-74, not a single
state ratified the ERA after 1977 and it
died in 1982.
Official says
Reagan key
to arms sales
WASHINGTON - A Senate
Intelligence Committee member
said Sunday the panel's investi
gation shows that President Rea
gan was the driving force behind
the decision to continue selling
arms to Iran after the first such
shipments failed to free all the
American hostages held in Leba
non. "It was kept going primarily
because the president wanted to
continue the program," said Sen.
William Cohen, R Maine.
Cohen praised Reagan for try
ing to win the release of Ameri
cans held by pro-Iranian forces
in Lebanon and to find a diplo
matic opening to Iran. But he
criticized the president for over
riding misgivings among senior
Cabinet members and the intelli
gence community about selling
arms to Tehran.
"The mistake was allowing
the sales of weapons to be a part
of that formula," said Cohen. "He
in fact took foreign policy under
ground" .against the objections
of Secretary of State George P.
Shultz, Secretary of Defense Cas
par Weinberger and other top
aides.
Sen. David Boren, D-Okla., the
new chairman of the intelligence
committee, called that decision
"a real tragedy for the country
and a real tragedy for the presi
dent." Boren and Cohen were
interviewed on the NBC-TV pro
gram, "Face the Nation."
