The statement by Zia, who is seek ing military aid from the United States, followed diplomatic confir mation of rebel claims of victories Computer Science & Engineering Graduates (Aeronautical ★ Electrical ★ Mechanical) against Soviet and Afghan troops, mostly in areas close to the border with Pakistan. In Washington, the White House said since the Soviets ignored Wednesday’s deadline President Carter had set for a withdrawal, the United States would boycott the summer Olympic Games in Moscow. “The president has made his deci sion since the troops are not with drawn that no U.S. team should be sent to Moscow,” said Lloyd Cutler, White House counsel. The U.S. Olympic Committee, which has the final decision in the matter, has reportedly agreed to yield to Carter’s request. Moslem guerrillas reportedly have almost completely halted traffic on the highway linking the Afghan capital of Kabul and the strategic city of Jalalabad, 60 miles to the east. The Islamic Front rebel group said in Peshawar that Pakistan, guerrilla forces also had set up roadblocks and staged raids along the highway link ing Kabul and the southern provin cial capital of Kandahar. Diplomats, who recently played down rebel claims of battle victories as exagerrations, are now confirming most of the information coming from the area around Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province.

Diplomats said the Afghan forces have dwindled to 40,000 men from about 70,000 before the Dec. 27 Soviet invasion. past three days.
