■% Npws Digpst By The Associated Press__ Philippine coup attempt fails MANILA, Philippines — The gov ernment said it foiled a coup attempt Sunday after rebel soldiers stole an ■* armored vehicle. President Corazon Aquino said martial law was “not yet necessary” despite continuing insta bility. The rebels stole the personnel car rier from army headquarters and drove it undetected to Santo Tomas Univer sity despite a full military alert. The six-man crew abandoned the vehicle about a mile from the president’s resi dence and escaped with a machine gun i-——--1 and ammunition. Acting Manila Gov. Jcjomar Binay said renegade Lt. Col Reynaldo Ca bauatan had planned to launch an at tack on the presidential compound from a campus staging area. Cabauatan, sought since a coup attempt in January, denied any role in the theft. Presidential spokesman Teodoro Benigno said the incident could have been staged to embarrass a govern ment still seeking to restore public confidence after 53 people died in a coup attempt Aug. 28. Another opposition source, speak ing on condition of anonymity, said rebels planned to mount a “military operation” but it failed after someone tipped off pro-government forces. Troops and tanks rushed to the presidential palace and the university area, and security was increased at military installations in the capital. The August military mutiny was the gravest threat to Mrs. Aquino since she was swept to power in a February 1986 civilian-military rebellion that ousted President Ferdinand Marcos.

Knowing the liberal prison system, he simply walked 'tway. Bergling, 50, fled with his wife after being left unguarded during an overnight conjugal visit at his subur ban Stockholm apartment Oct. 8. He had been serving a life sentence for selling defense secrets to the Soviet Union. His escape further tarnished the image of the Swedish police and secu rity forces, already under fire for their failure to catch Prime Minister Olol Palme’s assassin 20 months after the murder. The latest scandal also fueled de bate about the liberal penal system, where serious criminals often serve mild sentences in prisons that would put some hotels to shame. Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson, calling the affair “extremely serious,” ordered a top-level investigation and canceled an oversees trip to monitor the chase. Shultz continues peace mission REHOVOT, Isreal — Secretary of State George Shultz indirectly chided right-wing Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir on Sunday, urging him to take the risk to explore new options for peace. “No one helps the chance for peace by doing nothing,” Shultz said. “Those who are reluctant to explore new ideas or even revisit old ones have an obliga tion to offer something different as an alternative to the status quo.” His remarks in a speech at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot were seen as a prod to Shamir. Shultz’s mission of peace, which began Friday, met with a setback when a group of eight Palestinian leaders refused to meet him. — i I " ' ' -..
