    S. Korea discovers spies
Three killed, one captured in brief shootout
Muslim wins most votes,
revives hope for unity
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) —
South Korean soldiers shot and killed
three North Koreans and captured one
Thursday, one day after the communist
infiltrators abandoned their damaged
submarine on the rocky coast.
The Defense Ministry said the in
filtrators were killed during a shootout
with the soldiers. Officials said four
communist commandos opened fire
after South Korean troops spotted them
in a deep mountain valley. Searchers
returned fire, killing three and captur
ing (me.
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

he left in the North, but after drinking
four bottles of soju (Korean whiskey),
he began to open his mouth,” Shin said.
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.
Defense Minister Lee Yang-ho said
in a report to President Kim Young
sam that military operations wore di
rected at blocking an apparent attempt
by the infiltrators to flee back home
across the border, about 60 miles to the
north.

asked its citizens to report any activi

spy activity.
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.

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.
