Of the 20 North Koreans believed to have been aboard the submarine, two have been captured now and 14 are dead. The submarine was found early Wednesday on a reef Off Kangnung, 90 miles northeast of Seoul. One intruder was captured near a remote village Wednesday. Eleven oth ers were found dead in a small clear ing on a thickly wooded mountain miles away from the submarine. All had been shot in the head. They appar ently committed suicide Wednesday rather than be captured—or killed— Thousands of soldiers and police continued to search Thursday for the remaining infiltrators. The manhunt was temporarily suspended after sun down Wednesday. Defense Ministry officials said 10 of the North Koreans found dead Wednesday apparently were shot by their leader, who then turned his pistol on himself.. The intruder caught Wednesday— identified as Li Gwang Su, 31 —told investigators that his submarine lost engine power shortly after leaving its home port of Wonsan on Monday and drifted into South Korean waters. Investigators said Li refused to dis close where the submarine was headed and what its mission was. But Gen. Shin Sang-kil, briefing reporters Thursday, said interrogators had plied Li with alcohol — and that now, he was slowly beginning to talk. “He at first refused to answer, say ing he feared for the lives of his family Editor: DougKouma 472-1766 Managing Editor: Doug Peters FAX NUMBER: 472-1761 The Daily Nebraskan (USPS144-080) is published by the UNL Publica tions Board, Nebraska Union 34. 1400 R St..

Quoting Li, the general said that seven of the 20 men aboard the sub were crewmen and the remaining 13 were trained spies. Overnight, there were three ex changes of gunfire between fleeing in filtrators and South Korean troops. No South Koreans were injured, the gen eral said. He said 12 sightings of the fleeing intruders were reported by civilians wemight. He appealed to civilians to report suspicious-looking people.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia Herzegovina (AP) — Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic won the most votes in Bosnia’s presidential election, sparking street celebra tions in Sarajevo Wednesday for the first chairman of the new three-man presidency. He was the only one of the three to favor a unified Bosnia. A close second to Izetbegovic in the election was Serb nationalist Momcilo Krajisnik, who cam paigned for the Sorb half of the country to secede from Bosnia. Croat nationalist Kresimir Zubak finished a distant third. While Izetbegovic’s powers as presidential chairman are mostly symbolic, he will be the man inter national officials turn to as they try to make Bosnia’s postwar recon struction and new government work. Whether the presidency, created by international negotiators who stitched together the 1995 Dayton peace accord, succeeds will help determine how many foreign troops remain in Bosnia, and for how long. Thousands of American troops, mostly in the north, make up the peacekeeping force. “This is a great day for us,” said Mirza Hajric, an aide to Izetbegovic. “Today, for the first; time after four years, Bosnia Herzegovina is reunited.” Jubilant Muslims drove through the streets of Sarajevo, beeping car horns, leaning out windows and waving green and white party ban ners. “I am happy for Alija’s victory,” said 21-year-old Almir Bicakcic.; “This is die party which will take Bosnia into its future.” Robert Frowick of the Organi zation for Security and Cooperation . in Europe said complete retums from Saturday’s vote gave Izetbegovic 729,034 votes to Krajisnik’s 690,373. Zubak had 342,007. Frowick said the results would become official at the end of a 72 hour appeal period. Only minor ad justments in the vote were expected. The presidents are supposed to take office four days after die re sults are certified. » __1_-J Report links LBJ to assassination LOS ANGELES (AP)—The So viet Union’s spy agency believed that President Lyndon Johnson was respon sible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy, according to an unedited version of a 1966 FBI document. The document was released Tues day at a public hearing of die Assassi nation Records Review Board, a fed eral commission established to collect documents on the assassination. The document attributed to an uni dentified source the KGB theory about Kennedy’s Nov. 22,1963 assassination in Dallas. “Our source added that in the in structions from Moscow, it was indi cated that ‘now’ the KGB was in pos session of data purporting to indicate President Johnson was responsible for the assassination of the late President John F. Kennedy,” read the document in a section that previously had been edited out. It did not offer other specifics. Johnson was Kennedy’s vice presi dent and became president after his death. _ The board also made public a re quest from Marina Oswald Porter, widow of Lee Harvey Oswald, asking the board to investigate his involve^ ment with the FBI. “I definitely think that Lee Oswald did not kill President Kennedy,” she wrote. “I think he was given up to pacify people as a patsy.... I believe that the documents I have requested will be eye-openers.” Hie board was also given 17 boxes. of documents belonging to the late J. Lee Rankin, general counsel for the Warren Commission that investigated Kennedy's assassination and con cluded that Oswald was the lone as sassin.
