Afghan jet carrying 30:
hit by Moslem rebel fin
United Press International
NEW DELHI, India — An Afg
han jumbo jet carrying 308 passen
gers was hit by Moslem rebel fire
and forced to make an emergency
landing at the Kabul airport, Kabul
radio and a Western diplomat re
ported Tuesday. No casualties were
reported.
The state-run radio said the pilot
safely landed the crippled Ariana
Airlines DC-10 Friday at the end of a
flight carrying pilgrims from the
Moslem holy city of Mecca in Saudi
Arabia via the southern Afghan city
of Kandahar.
According to the Western diplo
mat in New Delhi, the attack was the
third on Afghan airliners in a week.
It came less than a month after a re
bel bomb ripped through Kabul air
port Aug. 30, killing 28 people and
injuring as many as 350 others.
The diplomat said the jumbo jet
“was struck on the wing- or tail sec
tion by machine gun fire or a rocket
between Gazni and Kabul.”
“The plane circled Kabul five
times and was seen dropping its fuel
before making an emergency land
ing,” said the diplomat, who asked
not to be identified. Gazni is 75 miles
south of Kabul in southeastern Af
ghanistan.
Kabul radio said in a broadcast
monitored in New Delhi,“The DC-
10 plane of Ariana Afghan Airlines
coming from Kandahar with 308
passengers was attacked with an ex
plosive bullet made in America. As a
result, hydraulic systems numbers 1
and 3 were damaged and the en
gines of the left side along with the
wing were damaged as well.
“Captain Wali had informed the
ground personnel of the damage
and attack but was able to land the
plane safely. The damage to the
plane runs into thousands of An
can dollars.”
The diplomat said rebelshave (
t ied out two other attacks at tht
port during the past week.
“On Sept. 19, two Yak-IOtm
prop planes of Afghanistan's!
mestic Bakhtar Airlines were J
aged by rocket and gunfire,"
Western source said. “Three So;
soliders were killed.” He gaveno

U.S., Nicaragua renew talks
aimed at reducing tension
United Press International
MEXICO CITY — The United
States and Nicaragua opened a new
round of talks Tuesday in the Mexi
can Pacific port of Manzanillo, Mexi
can diplomatic sources said.
The latest meeting between the
two countries comes three days after
Nicaragua announced that it had
signed the Contadora peace plan for
Central America.
The peace plan was formulated by
the Contadora Group — Colombia,
Mexico, Panama and Venezuela —in
consultation with the five Central
American nations.
U.S. Special Envoy Harry Shlau-
deman and Nicaraguan Deputy For
eign Minister Victor Hugo Tinoco
have represented their governments
at the previous talks.
Mexican diplomats said they
could not confirm which United
States and Nicaraguan officials were
meeting in Manzanillo, some 330
miles west of Mexico City.
Sources in El Salvador reported
that Shlaudeman left San Salvador
Tuesday morning en route to Mex
ico.

Soviets criticize Reagan speech
United Press International
MOSCOW — The Soviet Union
sharply criticized President Reagan’s
speech to the United Nations as an
election ploy, and President
Konstantin Chernenko said Tuesday
the United States fails to grasp the
need for normal relations with the
Kremlin.
Reagan, at Monday’s opening of
the General Assembly, called for
“constructive negotiations” with
Moscow, a call dismissed by the offi
cial news agency Tass as “a vessel
with nothing inside of it.”
Tass said “his speech contained no
indication of any change in the es
sence of the present U.S. policy” and
was “only meant to camouflage
Washington’s basic foreign policy
guidelines and its interventionist
policy in all regions of the world.”
Reagan’s policy, according to
Tass, continues to be directed at ag
gravating international tension,
achieving military superiority and
interfering in the internal affairs of
other countries.
“The U.N. rostrum was actually
used by Reagan for his political, elec
tioneering aims,” the official news
agency said. “That was the reason
behind his attempt to present his old
policy in a new, more attractive
package without changing its es
sence.”
Chernenko, in a speech to the
50th anniversary plenum of the So
viet Writers’s Union, said the Rea
gan administration does not under
stand the importance of normal

“The grim truth of the present in

Chernenko told the union.

West Texas aridity studied
United Press International
AUSTIN — Israeli consultants
will survey state-owned West Texas
land to determine if their country’s
much heralded irrigation methods
can turn the arid acreage into pro
ductive farmland, Land Commis
sioner Garry Mauro said Tuesday.
Mauro said his agency had agreed
to pay an Israeli consulting firm —
Consulting Engineers Ltd. of Tel
Aviv — $>14,000 to study the West
Texas land and determine if there
were two or three large tracts suita
ble for water management projects.
The state owns nearly 800,000
acres of West Texas land, but much
of it can only be leased for grazing
because the high cost of irrigation
makes farming unprofitable.
“They (the Israelis) are probably
the most experienced water engi
neers in the world,” Mauro said.
“But this is not an academic project.
We want something we can put in
place right away.”
Mauro said the Israeli firm would
try to locate land in the Trans-Pecos
area that would be suitable for rais
ing cotton, corn or other products
using both fresh and brackish water.
“We know the desert will bloom if
you spend enough money,” Mauro
said. “That’s not what we want to do.
I’m going to be very pessimistic and
skeptical about this project.”
