Agreement oeairs do Afghan
From Utocitted Press reports
MOSCOW The Soviet Union
and Afghanistan said Thursday
agreement is at hand in ending -the
Afghan civil war and urged that a
formal accord be signed in Geneva
so the Kremlin can begin withdrawing
its troops May 15.
The target date is two weeks before
Soviet Communist Party General
Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and
President Ronald Reagan begin their
summit in the Soviet capital. Agree
ment on Afghanistan would resolve
an issue that has troubled relations
for nearly a decade, promoting a U.S.
grain embargo and keeping Ameri
cans home from the 1980 Olympics
in Moscow.

Najib issued a joint statement after

major rift appeared Thursday in the
opposition to Gen. Manuel Antonio
Noriega, who is getting tough with
critics in defiance of the U.S. eco
nomic squeeze and a buildup of
American forces in Panama.
Two parties split from the oppo
sition alliance to form their own anti
government movement. Their leaders
argued that the economic sanctions
are hurting Panama's people more
than they are damaging Noriega and

"There is certain to be a signed
agreement on political normaliza

Gorbachev as saying while he toured
a collective farm near Tashkent after
the meeting. "1 think both Pakistan
and Afghanistan will come to agree

will agree to be guarantors."
The joint communique, distributed
by the Tass agency, published on the
front page of the government news
paper Izvestia and read during the

President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq
said the Geneva accords were ready
for signing, but U.N. mediator Diego
Cordovez indicated problems
remained.
"There are very difficult decisions
and the only good thing I think
that is important is that the
political will is obviously there to take
them," he told reporters in Geneva
after the Soviet-Afghan statement
was issued.
Gulbaddin Hekmatyar, head of the
seven-party Afghan guerrilla alliance,
said in Islamabad, Pakistan, it was
the "first step toward victory" and a
"defeat for the Russians." He said the
guerrillas "will try to intensify" the
war.
Draft documents in Geneva call for
an end to outside aid for the rebels,
and U.S. officials have pressed for
member Defense Forces, which
include the military and police.
Noriega is under indictment in the
United States on drug trafficking
charges, which he denies.
"For us, no recipe that comes from
Washington has been favorable to the
Panamanians," he said. "The people
of the world know that the recipes
formulated in the imperial capitals,
the United States and the Soviet
Union, never are favorable to the
interests of the people."

"symmetry," a simultaneous end of
Soviet military aid to Najib's
government.
Zia, quoted by Pakistan's official
news agency, said: "According to
unofficial reports, the two superpow
ers have agreed on the symmetry
under which both would be able to
provide continued assistance to their
respective allies in Afghanistan." No
details of the alleged agreement were
given.
Sources in Washington called the
Gorbachev-Najib statement a posi
tive sign of accommodation on the
symmetry question, but the State
Department's public comment was
limited to: "We have not yet received

Leaders of the two parties have
joined demonstrations, strikes and
other protests of the Civil Crusade,
while differing with some of its
policies and generally favoring a
harder line.
The last of 1,300 additional U.S.
soldiers arrived Thursday at Howard
Air Force Base outside Panama City.
Late Wednesday, the government
said it had issued arrest warrants for
three leading opponents, including
deposed President Eric Delvalle, who
has been in hiding in Panama.
It also asked Interpol, the interna
tional police organization, to arrest
Gabriel Galindo, a former ambassa
dor to the United States, and Juan
Sosa, Delvalle's envoy in Washington
who remains there.
In Washington, the State Depart
ment said Thursday that the United
States "would regard any efforts by
the Noriega regime to attempt arrests
or prosecutions of President Delvalle
and the others for their activities in
urging and supporting U.S. sanction
as the unlawful acts of an illegitimate
regime."

Kuwaiti jet refueled in Iran
after hijackers fire at guards
From Associated Press reports
NICOSIA, Cyprus Workers
refueled a Kuwaiti jetliner Thurs
day after its Arab hijackers fired
at security guards and threatened
to force the pilot to take off with
little fuel, Iran reported.
The official Islamic Republic
News Agency quoted the hijackers
as saying they would take off at
midnight (4:30 p.m. EDT) with
about 50 hostages, but did not give
a destination. The hour passed
with no indication as to whether
the plane had left.
When it reported the develop
ment only two minutes before the
announced departure time, IRNA
said, "there are still obstacles on
the runway," placed there earlier
by airport officials to keep the jet
from taking off.
The hijackers said they placed
explosives throughout the jet,
which still had 55 passengers and
crew aboard, IRNA reported.
Israeli teenager interred
KARNEI SHOMRON, Occu
pied West Bank Armed Jewish
settlers vowed revenge Thursday
and shouted "Expel the Arabs!"
as they buried an Israeli girl stoned
to death by Palestinians. Troops
killed a man in the town where
she was slain.
An army announcement said
the Palestinian fatally shot in Beita
was a suspect in the attack on a
group of Israeli teenagers Wednes
day in which 15-year-old Tirza
Porat was killed. It said he did not
obey an order to halt.
Two other Arabs were wounded
in separate incidents in the occu
pied West Bank and Gaza Strip,
which have been swept by violence
since Dec. 8.
Soldiers arrested hundreds of
Arabs and blew up five homes in
Beita. Israeli settlers attacked two
nearby Arab villages, beating
residents, breaking windows and
firing shots in the air.
The girl, killed during the week
long Passover celebration, was the
first Israeli civilian victim of the
4-month-old violence in the terri
tories Israel captured in the 1967
war. At least 141 Arabs have died,
according to U.N. figures, and an
Israeli soldier was stabbed to
death. .

News in Brief
preparing for a weekend war on
violent, drug-dealing street gangs
with overwhelming support from
political and community leaders
whose attention has suddenly
focused on a long-festering
problem.
The sweep by as many as 1,000
police officers will be the biggest
in a series of mass patrols in gang
ridden neighborhoods. A 13-hour
sweep which ended Thursday
morning resulted in the arrest of
128 suspected gang members.
Violence has continued despite
the sweeps, with five people
wounded Wednesday in three
"drive-by" shootings, a common
style of attack in gang turf wars.
Gangs were blamed for 387
killings in Los Angeles County in
1987, and as many as 85 so far
this year.
Brooks gets endorsement
LUMBERTON Pembroke
attorney Dexter Brooks, a Lum
bee Indian who wants to be
appointed to a second judgeship
in Robeson county, has won the
endorsement of Julian Pierce's
campaign committee.
About 15 members of the Com
mittee to Elect Julian Pierce
offered unanimous support for
Brooks on Wednesday night, said
Harvey Godwin, Pierce's cam
paign manager.
Pierce was killed March 26 in
an apparent domestic dispute. His
death meant that District Attorney
Joe Freeman Britt, Pierce's oppo
nent, would automatically become
the nominee of the Democratic
Party. Since there is no Repub
lican in the race, Britt would then
gain the judgeship.
But the seat was created in
Robeson County to give minority
candidates a better chance to
become judge. Lt. Gov. Bob
Jordan and local legislators met
with Pierce supporters and agreed
to back a second judgeship that
would allow the appointment of
a minority judge.
Britt has opposed the second
judgeship, saying Indian activists
bluffed the politicians into backing
it. He called the judgeship a waste
of taxpayers' money.
