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.

Swedish prisoner escape
opens door to debate
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Con
victed spy Stig Bergling did not need a
hacksaw to escape from Swedish
prison. 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.

Baby fights for life after landmark surgery
LOM A LINDA, Calif. — A baby bom with a lethal heart defect was
in critical but stable condition Saturday on his second day of life, a
milestone doctors said he would not have reached except for a heart
transplant hours after birth.
Surgeons, led by Dr. Leonard Bailey, labored 4 1/2 hours Friday to
perform the transplant, just three hours after Paul Hold was delivered by
Caesarean section. He was the youngest person ever to undergo an organ
transfer.

U.S. calls Iranian missile a Mucky shot’
MANAMA, Bahrain — The Iranian missile that wrecked a U.S.
flagged tanker was “a lucky shot” that could have hit Kuwait’s oil
terminal complex or several other shipsin the area, U.S. military sources
said Sunday.
Kuwaiti officials lodged a formal protest with Tehran, Iran’s foreign
minister virtually acknowledged Iran launched the missile Friday and
hinted at more attacks.
In Tehran, Iranian officials accused U.S. forces of torturing four
wounded Iranian sailors detained in a clash in the gulf this month. The
four were repatriated to Iran through neutral Oman on Saturday.
