Pope visits war-torn are
to preach reconciliation^
h
BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe (AP) — Pope John Paul II
preached peace and reconciliation Monday during an
open-air Mass in Matabeleland, a province where tribal
warfare ended only four months ago.
“No more training for war,” the 68-year-old pontiff
told 50,000 people at Ascot horse track in Bulawayo,
the provincial capital.
“Hammer swords into plowshares, spears into sickles
and nation will not lift sword against nation,” he said.
John Paul, who is on the First leg of a five-nation. 10-
day pilgrimage to southern Africa, flew' to Bulawayo
from Harare.
He was welcomed at the track by bishops in cassocks
and African drummers, dancers and singers dressed in
animal skins. The pope was met at Bulawayo’s heavily-
guarded airport by Joshua Nkomo, former rival of
President Robert Mugabe and now a senior minister in
the socialist government.
In December, Nkomo and Mugabe signed an accord
that merged their feuding political parties. As a result,
nearly eight years of Fighting between armed dissidents
loyal to Nkomo and government troops in Matabele
land ended in May.
John Paul — speaking in English, Latin and the two
main African languages of the Shona and Ndebele
tribes — lamented that the minority Ndebele people of
Matabeleland did not find peace after independence
from Britain April 18, 1980.
But he prayed that their new’found peaceaniigi
ciliation would hold. |
"It is only eight years since your struggle lot
independence was brought to an end,” thepoj
from a red-carpeted rostrum festooned \ ®
"Even after that, many people in Matabelelai
find true peace . . . the civilian populationcoi
suffei from guerrilla warfare and other forttiil
lence.”
Before the Mass, John Paul was introduced
horn Matabeleland Bishop Henry Karlenwb;
accused troops of committing atrocities aga jerit
Ndebele, traditional f oes of Mugabe’s domiitii
tribe. Mugabe denounced Karlen at the time
i h ating the charge and siding with terrorists.
Among hundreds of civilians slain in tk
were 10 Catholic missionaries, one of whom,
on April 19 just hours after Mugabe annouta
eral amnesty for rebels as part of the accord.
“The people of Matabeleland have sullen
during the liberation war,” Karlen said.refem
sev en-year guerrilla war led by separate ami
Nkomo and Mugabe against white minority^
abelelancl continued to suffer after ini;
through drought and violence,-he added.
“The blood of 10 missionary martyrs oftli
of Bulawayo has flowed into the soil,” Karlens
this blood hear abundant fruit.”

T,
FRANKFURT, West Germany
(AP) — The pilot of a TWA jetliner
hijacked by Arab terrorists in 1985
testified Monday that Mohammed
Ali Hamadi took pleasure in tortur
ing the passengers and fired the shot
that killed an American sailor.
Cap.t. John Testrake, who com
manded the plane during the or
deal, told the court he believed
Hamadi was the more violent of two
hijackers who invaded the jetliner’s
cabin and later killed Robert Ste-
them, a U.S. Navy diver.
But under questioning by defense
lawyers, Testrake said he did not ac
tually see Hamadi pull the trigger.
Mohammed Hamadi is charged
with murder and air piracy. He has
admitted being one of the hijackers,
but has denied killing Stethem. The
Athens-to-Rome flight was hijacked
June 14, 1985. It was flown to Bei-
tnpo
I di
rut, where Stethem was killed, and
39 Americans were held hostage for
17 days.
Testrake had testified earlier that
either of two hijackers could have
led Stethem to a cabin door where
he was shot. But after a recess. Fes-
trake told the court he had a chance
to get a closer look at I lamadi.
“I want to make an
statement,” Testrake said
bef ore that one of the two (I
appeared to do more of the
nicating and the other mo
violence.”
He said, “It appeared th
the hijackers (Hamadi) enjo
ing the passengers more ..
violence.
"Looking at this man nc
struck that . . . this is the m
recall had stood in the forw
way and shot Stethem."
