BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Shiite
■ Moslem militiamen vvithdtew
|Wednesda\ from all positions ting
ling Palestinian refugee tamps in
I Beirut, ending a nearly 3-year-old
■siege.
Syrian troops immediately rolled
■ into buffer zones around the Cha-
Itilla and Bourj el-Barajneh shanty-
Itowns to enforce the newly estah-
llished peace between guerrillas of
I "Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Libeiation
Organization and militiamen of Leb
anese Justice Minister Nabih Bern’s
Amal.
Reporters saw Amal irregulars
pull away in trucks and jeeps from
sandbagged positions and earth-
mounds surrouding the two camps,
home tor an estimated 30,000 refu
gees.
The move came to enforce a deci
sion declared by Beni on Saturday
to lift the military blockade in what
he called a unilateral initiative to end
the so-called “camps war” that had
killed more than 1,600 people and
wounded 3,600 by Lebanese police
count.
Ben i said his move was a gift to
the “heroic people” who have been
holding massive protests against Is
rael’s occupation of the West Bank
and Gaza Strip.
The Shiite withdrawal brought
the tw'o Beirut refugee camps under
the direct control of the Syrian
army, which deployed a 7,500-
strong contingent in the Moslem sec-
tor of the Lebanese capital last year
to curb militia fighting.
Amal besieged the camps in Bei
rut in May 1985 to prevent Aratat
from rebuilding/the power base he
lost in lsraersTT)82 invasion of Leb
anon.
Amal relaxed a food blockade 1 of
the Chatilla and Bourj el-Barajneh
last April, but its militiamen contin
ued to ring the Beirut shantytowns,
preventing men from leaving the
area at the present time.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) —
The leftist Sandinista government
formally lifted the state of emer
gency Tuesday and disbanded its
system of revolutionary “people’s
courts,” Foreign Minister Miguel
D’Escoto announced.
Nicaragua was reejutred to take
the measures to fulfill a Central
American peace plan signed bv five
of the region’s presidents Aug. 7
In Washington, President Reagan
authorized the CIA to resume uir-
j drops of weapons to Nicaragua’s
Contra rebels. They were suspended
[ because of a Central American sum
mit in Costa Rica last w'eek.
In Miami, Contra leaders an
nounced Tuesday they are willing to
accept Nicaraguan President Daniel
Ortega’s offer to hold direct talks
but said they are wary about Orte
ga’s motives.
D’Escoto told a group of diplo
mats during a briefing at the For
eign Ministry that the nearly 6-year-
old state of emergency and the tribu
nal system formally were abolished
by presidential decree.
1 he foreign minister said Ortega
lifted the state of emergency Satur
day, at the conclusion of the Central
American summit, and the presi
dential decree formalized the move.
Asked if the government w as tak
ing the measures only to influence
the U.S. Congress to reject more
Contra aid, die foreign minister
said: 1 “Of course we at e. We want to
stop the war. The continuation of
funding for the Contras means more
war, more death, more destruction.
Yes, we want to stop it.”
The rebels are operating on a
short-term grant of non-military aid
approved before Congress left for its
holiday recess. The money, which
includes funds to pay for CIA air
drops of previously stockpiled weap
ons and ammunition, is expected to
last through next month. Reagan
has said he will ask for more aid and
Congress is expected to .act on the
request in February.
The Defense Ministry has said the
Contras receive air drops about four
times a month. That total, it says,
went up to about 40 during the Oc
tober cease-fire declared unilaterally
by the government.
I he Sandinista government cre
ated the tribunal system in late 1979
to uy people lot crimes committed
“against the people of Nicaragua”
during the dictatorship of President
Anastasio Somoza Debayle, who was
overthrown nine years ago.
Israeli officials consider using curfews
to halt riots against upcoming elections
JERUSALEM (AP)— Israel said Wednesday it
might use curfews foi the f irst time to quell riots
in Arab east Jerusalem, where a police jeep
stoned by children ran down a protester and
crashed, injuring two officers.
Increasing numbers of Jerusalem’s Arabs have
been caught up in the nationalist fervor gener
ated by six weeks of violence in the occupied
West Bank and Caza Strip, in which Israeli gun
fire has killed at least 36 Palestinians.
In northern Israel, soldiers killed three Pales
tinians who infiltrated from Lebanon with gre
nades and automatic rifles in an apparent at
tempt to raid a civilian settlement, the army said.
An Israeli soldier was reported wounded.
U.N. officials in the Caza Strip reported at
least seven Arabs hospitalized 'With heating inju
ries. On Tuesday, Defense Minister Yitzhak Ra
bin said he was ordering soldiers to answer pro
testers with beatings rather than bullets.
Israel’s unofficial election campaign began
with an attack by Labor Party leaders on the
right-wing Likud bloc of Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir, with which Labor shares power m a frac
tious coalition.
Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, the Labor
Partv leader, said Likud was ignoring a chance
for peace by refusing concessions to the /\rabs,
and told party supporters: “The present govern
ment is nearing its end, thank God.”
Elections are due in November, but Peres
wants them moved up. Shamir said that would
present Arabs with “the image of a country wag
ing internal war.”
