BEIRUT, Lebanon — Heavy ar
tillery and rocket fire tore through
Beirut Monday, killing at least 44
people and wounding at least 227
others in the deadliest fighting since
Moslem militiamen seized west Bei
rut in February.
The five-hour onslaught of
rocket, mortar and artillery fire
erupted during a Parliament debate
on a government peace plan and
later engulfed residential areas in
east and west Beirut and the sub
urbs.
American University Hospital in
west Beirut, where dead lay on
blood-soaked stretchers in corridors,
said it had received at least 30 killed
and 39 wounded from the fighting
while other hospitals and police re
ported a further 14 dead and 188
wounded.
shells that crashed into a parking lot
in Moslem west Beirut as Civil De
fense workers and firemen battled a
blaze ignited by a mortar blast. Mos
lem Mourabitoun radio reported
that three firemen were among the
dead.
The death toll was the highest in a
single day since Moslem militiamen
seized west Beirut in February and it
was the most intense round of artil
lery barrages since Prime Minister
Rashid Karami formed his national
unity government April 30.
The shelling caught thousands of
residents in the streets. Witnesses
said women — some in nightgowns
and slippers — rushed out to bring
their children home from schools.
More than 100 shells and rockets
rained down near Parliament’s tem
porary meeting place, the Villa Man-

A “cold front” approaching the
Northeast with scattered showers
and thunderstorms will not provide
much relief from the record heat
wave that has claimed at least 14
lives, forecasters said Monday.
Temperatures soared into the up
per 90s for the fifth straight day
Monday, setting records in Balti
more, Boston, Portland, Maine and
Allentown, Pa. The 100 degree
reading at Baltimore broke the pre
vious record of 99, set in 1911.
Four people died from heat
stroke in New York Monday as the
sweltering heat forced Con Edison
to generate a record amount of elec
tricity to accommodate all the air
conditioners that were in use.
Thousands of New Yorkers,
caught unprepared for an early
summer, lined up outside appliance
stores to buy air conditioners. Car
riages that plod through Central
Park were ordered off the streets for
the fifth straight day to comply with
a city regulation barring horses from
working in 90-degree heat.
Slightly cooler temperatures were
forecast for Tuesday, but the incom
ing cold front is not going to be
much help.
“Is it going to change tempera
tures much? No,” said National
Weather Service Meteorologist No
lan Duke. “The ‘cold front’ is more a
meteorological term than a practical
one at this point. It’s not going to
change much.”
Duke said that after six days of sti
fling, humid heat, residents of the
northeastern states can expect tem
peratures 5 to 10 degrees lower on
Tuesday, but they will shoot back up
into the 90s on Wednesday.
“There’s just really not much re
lief coming their way,” he said. “Iso
lated thunderstorms and showers
may provide sparse relief.”
In stark contrast, up to five inches
of snow fell in Yellowstone National
Park and cold temperatures plagued
mountain areas in Northwest
Wyoming. Melting snow continued
to drain into the raging North Platte
River, but forecasters said there was
no immediate danger of flooding.
