U.S. removes rockets from bases J
in accordance with treaty signinc
FRANKFURT, West Germany
(AP) — Five years after West Euro
peans took to the streets in massive
anti-missile protests, the United
States on Thursday began removing
its intermediate-range rockets in
accordance with a superpower treaty
signed last year.
A truck convoy hauled nine Per
shing 2 missiles from a base near
Stuttgart, and U.S. officials said they
would remove the remaining 420
medium- and shorter-range missiles
from Western Europe in the next 36
months.
“This is an important event in
post-war history,” West German
government spokesman Friedhelm
Ost said during a news conference in
Bonn.
The stationing of the missiles had
sparked huge protests in Western
Etirope, including a coordinated
demonstration in several cities that
drew hundreds of thousands of peo
ple in October 1983. Deployment of
the missiles began the following
month.
But the anti-missile fervor waned,
and by the time President Reagan
and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorba
chev signed their treaty banning in
termediate-range nuclear missiles in
December, only a handful of protes
ters was still active in West Germany.
A group of anti-missile activists
who came to witness the removal ap
plauded as the 15 U.S. Army trucks
carrying the missiles left the Heil-
bronn site in southern Germany,
about 35 miles north of Stuttgart.
A rocket motor explosion at Heil-
bronn in January 1985 killed three
U.S. soldiers and injured 16 others.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) —
Moslem guerrillas launched rockets
at Kabul and its airport Thursday,
and Afghan fighter planes struck
deep into Pakistani territory in one
of the most violent days of Afghani
stan’s 10-year-old civil war.
Western diplomats, quoting dis 1
patches from missions in the Afghan
capital, said the airport was
shrouded in thick black and gray
smoke from the rocket attack.
Earlier in the day, Pakistani au
thorities said seven Afghan fighter-
bombers struck the deepest to date
into Pakistani territory, killing one
person and injuring seven.

“The force of the explosion indicates

“Opposition units today were sub

ground-to-ground rockets the Kabul
international airport area,” the offi
cial Soviet news agency l ass said in a
report from Kabul. “The rockets
damaged depots and transport air
craft.”
Diplomatic dispatches from Kabul
said the rockets started hitting the
city around 2:55 p.m. at Kabul air
port and significant parts of the city.
“By 3:20 the fire was out of con
trol,” a dispatch from one western
embassy said. “There were second

ordered to evacuate (the airport),” it

Investigators search
for clues about crash
GRAPEVINE (AP) — Speculation
centered on engine trouble as inves
tigators and manufacturers’ rep
resentatives today tried to determine
the cause of a Delta Air Lines jetliner
crash that killed 13 people.
Nearly 100 people, many leaping
through thick smoke and blazing jet
fuel, survived the crash of the Boe
ing 727 that broke open and burned
during takeoff Wednesday morning
at Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport.
The same flight today taxied out
for takeoff but then turned back to
the terminal, Delta officials said
from Atlanta.
“1141 did not take off from Dallas
today and it has not at this point,”
Cindy Mullennix said at 9:51 a.m.
CDT. The flight was scheduled to
depart at 8:31 a.m.
“I do know that they did taxi out,
and for whatever reason they turned
back,” Mullennix said. “I do not
know what the problem was, and I

The report added that several
rockets exploded in residential dis
tricts of Kabul, and authorities had
put out the resulting f ires.
Reports said it was not clear how
many rockets had fallen. There were
no immediate reports of casualties
and state-run Kabul radio, in its
nighttime broadcast, made no men
tion of the attack.
