iyu one nas ciaimea
responsibility for two
attacks inside the
British army’s
heaquarters.
By Shawn Pogatchnik
Associated Press
LISBURN, Northern Ireland —
Bombers struck in Northern Iceland
Monday for the first time since the IRA
called off a cease-fire two years ago,
ietonating two car bombs inside the
British army’s heavily defended head
quarters. Thirty-one people were
wounded.
There was no claim of responsibil
ity. Whether the attack was carried out
by the Irish Republican Army or by
another anti-British group might deter
mine whether the province’s pro-Brit
ish paramilitaries call off their own
cease-fire — and send Northern Ire
land back into retaliatory violence.
The first bomb went off without
warning in a parking lot inside
fhiepval Barracks, the main camp for
the 18,000 army troops in the British
ruled province.
A second detonated 20 minutes
later near the base’s hospital, appar
ently to ambush passing soldiers, medi
cal staff and people wounded by the
first bomb.
As flames and black smoke bil
lowed from the blast site, soldiers and
chefs hauled off the wounded on foam
mattresses. Some of the people injured
in the second blast included medical
staff attending to the victims of the first.
The army said 21 of the injured
were soldiers and 10 were civilians—
including the three most seriously hurt.
One man was critically wounded and
four received serious head, chest and
leg wounds. The less seriously
wounded included an 8-year-old girl
and an 18-year-old woman who were
treated for shock and released.
Army forensic scientists estimated
that the two bombs contained a total
of500 to 1,000 pounds of homemade
explosive. Each left a deep crater in
the pavement.
The attack inside what, until now,
had been Northern Ireland’s most un
touchable army installation deals an
embarrassing blow to the British
forces. Thiepval lies in Lisburn, a pre
dominantly Protestant suburb south
west of Belfast, and is home to the
army’s senior commanders, key offic
ers’ families and its elite bomb squad. ^
Thiepval has a single entrance 1
guarded by armed soldiers and secu
rity cameras, with every car requiring 1
clearance—though most are not indi- l
vidually searched. 1
Among the army facilities damaged 1
were offices, the base’s travel agency, ‘
the nursery and the chapel. The blasts 1
smashed windows in surrounding ci
vilian homes and at a hospital that is 5

In Washington, White House

High court protects
justices from tax laws
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Su
preme Court, saying its hands were tied
by potential conflicts of interest,
shielded some federal judges Monday
from having to pay certain taxes im
posed on most Americans.
Four justices who might have a fi
nancial stake disqualified themselves
from considering the case. Their ac
tion kept the court from gaining a quo
rum of six jurists to take the case, and
thereby sealed the outcome in a way
that could benefit them financially.
Monday’s action, although not a
precedent-setting decision, had the ef
fect of upholding a lower court’s rul
ing that said it was illegal to begin re
quiring federal judges to pay Medicare
and Social Security taxes in 1983 and
1984.
The fesalHs a victory for 16 fed
eral judges who sued the government
in 1989 over tax-law amendments en
acted earlier in the decade.
Those amendments for the first
time extended Social Security and
Medicare taxation to the president, vice
president, members of Congress and
the president’s Cabinet, federal judges
and all new employees of the federal
government’s executive and legislative
branches.

The 16 federal judges, all already
appointed to their lifetime jobs when
the tax laws were changed in 1983,
contended that new taxes unlawfully
diminished their salaries and thereby
threatened judicial independence.
In other action, the court:
• Rejected the appeal of Theodore
Kaczynski, who contended that his
prosecution on Unabomber attacks has
been so tainted by news leaks that the
government should forfeit its right to
make him stand trial.
• Rejected a challenge by five Wis
consin anti-abortion protesters to a fed
eral law that protects access to abor
tion clinics. L
• Turned down the bid of former
Arkansas,. Gqy. Jim Guy Tucker and
two others to quash charges brought by
Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr
that they plotted to hide profits from a
multimillion-dollar cable television _
deal
• Heard arguments in a dispute over
a federal law that requires cable tele
vision systems to carry local broadcast
stations. Cable operators told the jus- -
tices the “must carry” law violates their
free-speech rights.

Germ work earns scientists a Nobel Prize
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) —
An Australian working in the United
States and a Swiss scientist won the
Nobel Prize in medicine Monday for
work that gives direction for design
ing vaccines and treating cancer, mul
tiple sclerosis and diabetes,
x Hie scientists, who showed an im
portant way that the body targets in
vading germs, will share the $1.12
million award. This year’s prizes are
the richest ever.
Peter C. Doherty, 55, of Australia,
works at the St. Jude Children’s Re
search Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
i
Rolf M. Zmkernagel, 52, heads the In
stitute of Experimental Immunology in
Zurich, Switzerland.
They discovered how immune sys
tem cells called T cells recognize vi
rus-infected cells for elimination. That
opened the door to understanding how
the immune system recognizes germs
and distinguishes them from the body’s
own cells, the Karolinska Institute’s
Nobel Assembly said.
The winners did their research on
mice in the early 1970s at the John
Curtin School of Medical Research in
Canberra, Australia.
