Iraq threatens to counterattacl
Iran’s cities after missile strikes
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Iraq threatened
on Tuesday to answer the latest Iranian missile
attacks on Baghdad by blitzing Iranian cities with
air raids, artillery and new long-range missiles
that can reach Tehran.
Later in the day, Iran said its jets raided a
“large naval target,” usually meaning a ship.
Two missiles hit the Iraqi capital Monday night
and early Tuesday, killing or wounding an un
specified number of people. Iran had fired two
do;
iozen Soviet-made Scud-B missiles into Baghdad
beginning late last year, but these were the first
attacks since Feb. 13.
A Cypriote vessel was burning out of control
Tuesday off Iran in the Persian Gulf, where Iran
and Iraq have been at war since September 1980.
Iraqi warplanes set it ablaze Monday during raids
on two Iranian oil terminals in which four other
tankers were damaged.
Maritime salvage executives in the gulf area
said 15 tugboats tried to extinguish the fire, but
finally gave up and the crew abandoned ship.
Government newspapers in Baghdad said the
military would make the first use of a new type of
Iraqi-manufactured missile to attack Iranian cit
ies, indicating Tehran would be the main target.
They said the missile’s range was just over 400
miles, which means it could reach the Iranian
capital of 6 million people from Iraqi territory.

Chinese arrest 60 marchers, prepare
for unrest on occupation anniversary
LHASA, Tibet (AP) — About 60
people shouting the name of the Da
lai Lama, Tibet’s exiled god-king,
marched Tuesday to a government
office, where armed Chinese secu
rity forces quickly arrested them,
herded them into trucks and drove
them away.
The marchers, believed to be
Buddhist monks in street clothes,
did not resist arrest. About 2,000
bystanders made no attempt to help
them or four monks who were ar
rested at about the same time in the
Jokhang Temple square, where pro
independence protests last week left
at least 14 people dead.
The Chinese government has sent
1,000 armed police to Lhasa, capital
of the remote Himalayan region c
million people, said a source in t. _
local Public Security Bureau.
The troops are to guard against
further unrest today, the 37th anni
versary of the day China occupied
Tibet, said the source, who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
Tibetans and Chinese questioned
on the street said they expected the
anniversary to be quiet because of
fears that police would fire on pro
testers.
Western witnesses said police
fired Thursday on demonstrators
who burned a police station and ve
hicles in the temple square.
Western doctors in Lhasa said
eight Tibetans were shot to death
and one unidentified Chinese was
stoned to death. Authorities said six
Chinese police were killed.
There was a smaller, less violent
protest on Sept. 27 that resulted in
about two dozen arrests.
About 100 marchers raised their
fists and chanted the name of the
Dalai Lama, Tibet’s former civil and
religious leader, who fled to exile in
India after a 1959 uprising against
Chinese rule. China annexed Tibet
in 1950.
The marchers did not wear the
saffron robes usually worn by
monks, but they came from the di
rection of the Drepung monastery,

Sessions suffers relapse from bleeding ulcer
WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Di
rector-designate William S. Sessions,
suffering from a bleeding ulcer, suf
fered a relapse that sent him back to
the hospital Tuesday and forced in
definite postponement of his swear
ing-in, FBI officials said.
Sessions, a former federal judge,
was hospitalized for observation and
treatment in San Antonio, where he
had returned after being released
from the George Washington Uni
versity Medical Center there last Sat
urday.
“Judge Sessions is believed to have
experienced more bleeding, which is
not uncommmon in these cases,” Dr.
Richard Rubio, Sessions’ private
physician, reported in an FBI
statement.
Rubio said his patient was in stable
condition at Methodist Hospital in
San Antonio. He said he does not
consider the illness life-threatening
and said surgery is not anticipated,
FBI officials said.
Sessions, 57, became ill and
fainted in the aisle of a jetliner last
Wednesday night on the way to
Washington for his swearing-in cere
mony at FBI headquarters which
had been scheduled for the next
day.
Doctors in Washington discovered
a previously undiagnosed bleeding
ulcer in the upper portion of his
small intestine.
On Monday, the FBI re-sched-
uled the swearing-in ceremony for
Thursday, but the oath of office now
“has been postponed indefinitely,”
the bureau’s acting director, John
Otto, said in the FBI statement.
On his release from the hospital
Saturday, Sessions told reporters he
generally felt good. He said
would return to Washington
be sworn in Thursday and 1ii
ady to go."
Before his relapse, docton
said Sessions would take media
that will allow him to resume;
mal workload by reducing aod
cretions in the stomach, alloraj

Census Bureau shows black vote
increased during 1986 election
WASHINGTON (AP) — For the
first time, the share of young blacks
who voted surged significantly
ahead of the percentage of young
whites who went to the polls, the
Census Bureau reported Tuesday in
a study of turnout for the 1986 elec
tion.
Turnout of people aged 18 to 24
has grown steadily among blacks in
recent years, with increasing num
bers of blacks seeking public office
and campaigns being conducted to
get blacks to register in larger num
bers.
“The result of the recent increases
for black youth and the 1986 drop
for white youth was that for the first
time . . . turnout among young
blacks in 1986 exceeded that of
young whites,” the Census Bureau’s
report said.
Black registration and voting has
grown significantly in the South, the
study added, and it is in that region
that politicians agree that blacks
have had a significant effect.
Indeed, black voters are credited
with helping return Democrats to
power in the U.S. Senate in the 1986
election, by helping unseat incum
bents in such states as Alabama,
Georgia and North Carolina and
fending off the GOP in Louisiana.
The report compared turnout
among people aged 18 to 24 in non-
presidential elections in recent years.
In 1986, turnout for both groups
edged down slightly, but rounded
off to 25 percent for young blacks,
while falling to 22 percent for
whites, the report found.
By comparison, whites 18 to 24
outvoted blacks 42 percent to 41
percent in the 1984 presidential
campaign, a year that showed black
participation rising sharply at a time
that the campaign of Jesse Jackson
drew considerable attention to the
black community.
Historically, voter turnout by this
age group has been the lowest of all
ages, the bureau noted.
On a national basis for all age
groups, whites turned out in larger
shares than blacks, 47 percent to 43
percent, in 1986. Four years earlier,
whites had led 50 percent to 43 per
cent.
The report is based on a survey of
about 55,000 households and pro
vides detailed information on who
voted by age group, race, sex and
other criteria. However, surveys
asking people about their voting pat
terns always result in higher num
bers reporting voting than actually
did so.
