TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras
American soldiers practiced military
maneuvers Sunday on a Honduran
airstrip just 21 miles from the Nica
raguan border, but U.S. officials said
the threat from Sandinista troops had
subsided and combat appeared
unlikely.
"These guys are not going to get
involved in any sort of conflict," said
Maj. Gary Hovatter, spokesman for
U.S. troops in Honduras.
U.S. officials in Washington said
the Sandinistas appeared to be
drawing back from the Honduran
border and predicted that the training
exercise involving 3,200 U.S. troops
would soon end.

BETHLEHEM, Occupied West

close range Sunday on a reserve
soldier standing guard near a Pales
tinian refugee camp, marking the first
Israeli army fatality in four months
of unrest in the occupied lands.
The army's chief of staff, Gen. Dan
Shomron, said the shooting could
augur greater use of guns by Pales
tinian activists. He stopped short of
saying it signaled a major change in
the tactics of protesters, who have
mainly hurled stones and bottles at
Israel's occupation forces.

as a shift to an armed struggle," he
said.
But Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin indicated stronger action
would be taken to quell Palestinian
uprisings.

miles from the border of Nicaragua
and about 80 miles south of the Bocay
border region, where Honduran
fighters dropped bombs on Sandi
nista positions Saturday.
Honduran officials said the raid
was carried out because about 600
Sandinista troops were not evacuat
ing quickly enough from the disputed
Bocay area, which Honduras consid
ers its territory. Two Honduran jet
fighters carried out a similar raid
Thursday.
No one was hurt in either raid and
no damage was reported in Satur
day's attack.
The 600 Sandinistas were part of
a force estimated at 2,000 that was
believed to have entered Honduran
territory last week in pursuit of U.S.
backed contra rebels.
The action prompted President
Palestinian terrorist elements try to
combine terrorist acts with the
civilian disturbances, we will have to
adjust our operations and take
harsher measures to cope with both,"
he said.
The army identified the slain
soldier as Sgt. Moshe Katz, 28, from
the northern port city of Haifa.
He was shot two or three times in
the head at close range while guarding
a government building facing the
small Beit Jibrin Palestinian refugee
camp in the biblical city, the military
said.
Troops immediately sealed off the
road, the main tourist route from
Jerusalem to the city's Manger
Square, the site of Christ's birth. They
also slapped a curfew on the refugee
camp and "rounded up everyone who
was in the area" for questioning, an
army spokesman said.

In Washington, national security

the fighting between Nicaragua and
Honduras was essentially over.

Miguel D'Escoto sent a protest note
to Honduran Foreign Minister Car

"energetically and formally protests"
Saturday's attack, which it called
"aggression against Nicaraguan

Rabin and Shomron rushed to the

"It's a painful day, but we are
determined to go on to make sure
security will prevail in Israel and the
territories," Rabin said later at the
Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old
City, the most sacred site in Judaism.
He told a group of supporters that
the protests in the occupied territories
had the same goal as the Arab wars
against Israel: "The purpose is
through the use of force to get rid
of us."
Bethlehem Mayor Elias Freij said
the situation in the territories "will
be aggravated" by the shooting. But
he blamed the frustration of Arab
protesters on Israel's occupation of
lands captured in the 1967 Middle

Freij said that the army had used
welding torches during the two
previous days to seal 20 shops that
were following hours mandated by
the Palestine Liberation Organiza

on Manger Square had been shut

In Gaza City, troops closed the
main vegetable market for three
hours after firing tear gas to disperse
Arab youths who blocked a main

Arab reporters said. !
Israelis have been using economic
pressure in addition to military force
in trying to quell the unrest. They
have cut international telephone lines
and blocked fuel shipments.
PLO chief Yasser Arafat has said
throughout the unrest that he ordered
his followers to forego the use of guns
against Israeli forces. The army has
reported only scattered cases of Arabs
shooting at soldiers or civilians.
Israeli troops have killed 103

British soldiers shot in Belfast
disobeyed orders, official says
From Associated Press reports
BELFAST, Northern Ireland
Two British soldiers who were
killed in a brutal attack by an
angry mob ignored orders to stay
away from an Irish Republican
Army (IRA) funeral procession,
the British army said Sunday.
All soldiers in the British-ruled
province were told the funeral was
taking place on Saturday and had
been warned to steer clear, an
army spokesman said.
"The two corporals should not
have been where they were, and
we are interested in examining
how that came about," said the
spokesman, speaking anony
mously in keeping with British
custom.
Cpl. Derek Wood, 24, and
Capt. David Howes, 23, were
fatally shot in Belfast Saturday
after funeral mourners dragged
them from their unmarked car,
beat them unconscious, stripped
them naked and shot them.
The outlawed IRA claimed
responsibility for the deaths.
More than 2,630 people have
died in 19 years of sectarian strife
in Northern Ireland, where the
mainly Catholic IRA is fighting to
drive the British out of the pro
vince and unite the predominantly
Protestant province with the
overwhelmingly Catholic Irish
Republic.
Protestant militants reject unity
with the Irish Republic.

Motorists fear escaped lioness
CATSKILL, N.Y. Carol
Pittas thought it was a little
strange when a passing motorist
asked if the lion on the hill was
real. But after a few more passers
by asked the same question, Pittas
and her fellow Rip Van Winkle
Bridge toll collectors thought
twice.
Sure enough, a full-grown, 200
pound adult lioness was resting
just 25 feet from the entrance to
the upstate Hudson River bridge
Friday night.
It seems the lioness was an
escaped pet from a nearby river
estate. The owners were on vaca
tion and somehow the lioness
broke free and found its way to
the bridge approach, State
Trooper Ron Levin said.
"It wasn't too friendly," Levin
said. "And it got really upset when
it was shot (with a tranquilizing
gun)."
The lioness was held at the
Catskill Game Farm until the
feline's owner picked it up late
Saturday afternoon.
