Two American filmmakers die
in raid by Soviet-Afahan forces
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) —
Soviet-Afghan forces ambushed and
killed two Americans as they re
turned with rebel escorts from mak
ing a documentary film on Afghani
stan’s civil war, U.S. and guerrilla
spokesmen said Tuesday.
Lee Shapiro of New Jersey-based
Shapiro Media Productions and
cameraman Jim Lindeloff were
killed earlier this month in Pagh-
man, just west of Kabul, the Afghan
capital, American diplomats in Paki
stan said.
Officials said their film was fi
nanced partly by an arm of the Uni
fication Church of the Rev. Sun
Myung Moon. An official of the or
ganization said Shapiro had strong
anti-communist views and earlier
had filmed an anti-Sandinista docu
mentary in Nicaragua.
Qaribar Rehman Saeed, spokes
man of the Hezb-i-Islami Moslem in
surgents, said word of the Ameri
cans’ death came in a rare radio
report from anti-communist fighters
near Kabul.
Ellen Hori, an employee at
Shapiro’s North Bergen, N.J., com
pany, said Shapiro was in his late 30s
and lived in New York. Hori said
Lindeloff was a 27-year-old Califor
nian.
She said she received a call from
the American consulate in Afghani
stan early Tuesday with the news of
their deaths.
U.S. officials said the two had reg
istered with the consulate in Pesha
war, Pakistan, last December and
March.
Saeed said the Hezb-i-Islami
party, one of seven fighting to oust
the communists and drive out the
Soviets, agreed to escort the team on
foot and by donkey to the northern
provinces of Kunduz, Takhar and
Badakhshan.
The attack came on their return
southeast to Pakistan, Saeed said. A
Hezb guide and interpreter, Abdul
Malik, was wounded but has not yet
reached the Pakistan border, he
said.
Mexico, U.S,
reach accord
on trade issue
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mex
ico and the United States have
reached agreement on a trade
accord that will set up a frame
work for consultations between
the two countries on thorny trade
issues, a U.S. trade official said
Tuesday.
Mexican Commerce Secretary
Hector Hernandez and U.S.
Trade Representative Clayton K.
Yeutter will sign the agreement
Nov. 6 in Mexico City, according
to an official in the trade rep
resentative’s office in Washing
ton, D.C.
The United States is Mexico’s
largest trading partner, while
Mexico’s trade with the United
States ranks behind Canada, Ja
pan and West Germany.
The United States runs a trade
deficit with its southern neighbor.
In 1986, American producers ex
ported $12.4 billion worth of
goods to Mexico and imported
Si7.6 billion from Mexico.
Iraqi warplanes raid tanker
to destroy Iran’s oil exports
KUWAIT (AP) — Iraq said its
warplanes raided a tanker in Iranian
waters Tuesday night in the cam
paign to destroy the oil exports that
finance its enemy’s war effort.
A brief military communique is
sued in Baghdad said the planes at
tacked a “large naval target off the
Iranian coast,” the customary refer
ence to a tanker, shortly after 7 p.m.
It did not identify the vessel and
shipping sources in the Persian Gulf
could not confirm the claim immedi
ately.
In Kuwait, which has been hit re
cently by three Iranian missiles and a
terrorist bombing, an official was
quoted as saying civilians will be
trained to help defend the sheik
dom.
Preventing attacks by Iranian-
trained saboteurs appears to be the
plan’s main objective.
Iran, which has been at war with
Iraq since September 1980, accuses
Kuwait of supporting its adversary.
The 13th convoy of Navy ships
and U.S.-registered Kuwaiti tankers
moved up the gulf Tuesday to the
home anchorage, where three Silk
worm missiles hit two tankers and a
major oil-loading facility in one
week.
Shipping officials in Kuwait said
the convoy was in the central gulf
but did not know its precise position.
Reagan administration officials in
Washington said that, despite
China’s denial of arms deals with
Iran, a shipload of Chinese-made ar
tillery shells was delivered in the past
week and the two countries may be
close to another sale of Silkworm
anti-ship missiles.
Soviet foreign minister
plans trip to discuss
superpower summit
WASHINGTON (AP) — So
viet Foreign Minister Eduard A.
Shevardnadze will arrive at the
end of the week to discuss pros
pects for a superpower summit
meeting and an agreement to ban
intermediate-range nuclear mis
siles, a U.S. official said today.
The Soviets requested the
meeting between Shevardnadze
and Secretary of State George P.
Shultz, the official, who de
manded anonymity, said.
He said he could not predict
whether a date for a visit by So
viet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev
would be set then. But, the offi
cial said, “a scenario for a summit
is developing.”
Gorbachev told Shultz last Fri
day in Moscow he was not ready
to fix a date for his third round of
talks with President Reagan.
But this morning, in Moscow,
U.S. ambassador Jack Matlock
was called in by Shevardnadze,
who told him he wanted to fly to
Washington for talks at the end
of the week, the official said, who
demanded anonymity.
Reagan and Gorbachev agreed
at their first meeting in 1985 in
Geneva to hold back-to-back sum
mits in 1986 and 1987. But in
stead of coming to Washington
last year, the Soviet leader met
with th president in Reykjavik,
Iceland.
When Shevardnadze was here
last month for talks with Reagan
and Shultz, the two sides agreed a
third summit would be held in
the United States sometime this
fall.
Shultz went to Moscow expect
ing a date to be set and also to
clear remaining hurdles to a
treaty to scrap intermediate-
range nuclear missiles.
He made headway with the So
viets on the accord, but Gorba
chev did not suggest a summit
date.
Shultz said Gorbachev had
asked whether he could expect
some sort of agreement on space-
based defenses.
It was not surprising that the
Soviet leader wanted to impose
restraints on the U.S. program to
develop a defense against ballistic
missiles based on advanced tech
nology and nuclear weapons.
Gorbachev has maintained that
the U.S. Strategic Defense Initia
tive, known popularly as “Star
Wars,” would mean extending
the arms race into outer space.
But Shultz and his advisers had
not expected the Soviet leader to
bring up the issue as a barrier to a
fall summit, which Gorbachev
had agreed to last month after
Shevardnadze’s talks in Washing
ton with Reagan and Shultz.
Congressional negotiators work to chop federal deficit
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pledg
ing to leave politics at the door, ne
gotiators for Congress and the Rea
gan administration began searching
Tuesday for a mixture of tax in
creases and spending cuts that
would reduce the federal budget
deficit enough to pacify world finan
cial markets.
The opening session produced
little more than a less-than-enthu-
siastic agreement between the law
makers involved to resume negotia
tions today.
Participants spent two hours dis
cussing how they would proceed but
were not asked to consider any of
the specifics in the case, according to
several of the involved lawmakers.
“We talked for awhile and we all
left happy,” Rep. John Duncan, R-
Tenn said.
Sen. Lawton Chiles, D-FIa., chair
man of the Senate Budget Commit
tee, said, “Everybody had the right
spirit. I considered it progress.”
The initial goal for the negotiators
is the $23-billion-deficit reduction
required by the Gramm-Rudman
balanced-budget law.
House Speaker Jim Wright, D-
Texas, described that figure as a
rock-bottom minimum, but some ne
gotiators proclaimed the use of ex
treme caution against raising expec
tations of a significantly larger
deficit reduction.
