U.N. team confirms Iraqi reports
Experts verify Scud destruction
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — A U.N. team of
ballistic missile experts has confirmed that Iraq
destroyed and buried a number of Scud mis
siles and other terror weapons, team leader
Derek Boothby said Monday.
Boothby said there are more than one of the
so-called “graveyard sites," which could con
tain some of the weaponry Baghdad has been
suspected of hiding from U.N. teams inspect
ing Iraq's weapons programs.
"There are quite a few places," Boothby said
by satellite telephone shortly after returning
from the field on his second day of a mission to
verify Iraq's weekend disclosures on its stock
of mass destruction weapons.
Bowing to world pressure after a show
down with Iraqi Deputy Premier Tariq Aziz at
the Security Council, Iraq's delegate to the
United Nations last Friday said substantial
quantities of weapons of mass destruction
were destroyed in June.
Boothby's 35-member team went to Bagh
dad on Saturday to verify the Iraqi statements,
which have forestalled possible military inter
vention from the United States and Britain.
The U.S.-led allies forced Iraq from Kuwait
in 1991 in the Gulf War, and Iraq's weapons
must be destroyed under the cease-fire agree
ment.
Boothby said he visited one site south of
Baghdad on Sunday, and two north of Bagh
dad on Monday. He said there was "no consis
tency" as to where the Iraqis had buried the
destroyed missiles. "One of the sites was in the
countryside, in the middle of trees, and one in
an open, sandy, gravel area."
Boothby would not specify the numbers of
the long-range missiles that he hopes to count
in the wreckage.
Nor would he discuss the numbers Iraq re
ported to the U.N. Special Commission in
charge of eliminating the country's nuclear.
chemical and biological warfare capability
well as its stock of missiles with a range oil
miles or more.
"I am under strict instructions not to
into numbers," he said. "The Iraqis arestil
the process of showing us wreckage. The)
shown us some and will be showing so
more.
At its New York headquarters, thecoi
sion issued a statement that "initial excaval
revealed some pieces of the missiles," and
Iraqis were asked to excavate the areaso
pletely.
Douglas Englund, the New York-based
rector of operations for the commission^!
uesday,
'press reports" said Iraq had reported
Scuds in the wreckage.
Sixty-one missiles were destroyed unden
supervision of an inspection team last year,!

Libya offers to turn over suspects
for trial in Pan Am 103 bombing
UNITED NATIONS (AP) -
Libya has offered to surrender
two men suspected in the bomb
ing of Pan Am Flight 103 to the
Arab League for eventual trial in
the United States or Britain, the
Security Council president said
Monday.
The offer marked a. major
Libyan concession as it seeks to
avoid U.N. Security Council eco
nomic and diplomatic sanctions
being pushed by the United
States, Britain and France.
London and Washington seek
the extradition of the two
Libyans for bombing the New
York-bound Pan Am plane over
Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988.
France seeks four others for the
bombing of a French airliner
over Africa in 1989. A total of
441 people died in the attacks.
Libyan Ambassador Ali
Ahmed Elhouderi announced
the plan to turn over the accused
to the Arab League while talking
with reporters at the U. N.
"We hope this can put an end
to this unnecessary confronta
tion," Elhouderi said.
Elhouderi said it would be up
to the 21-member Arab League
to decide the fate of the Locker
bie suspects.
U.S. Ambassador Thomas R.
Pickering was noncommittal on
whether the United States would
now stop pushing for further
sanctions. "We are waiting to
hear that these people will take
the actions they are supposed to
take," he said.
The Security Council presi
dent, Ambassador Diego Arria
of Venezuela, said he believes
the suspects would be "uncondi
tionally surrendered to the Arab
League and unconditionally sur
rendered" to U.N. Secretary-
General Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
Arria also said he understood
the men — Abdel Basset Ali
Megrahi, 39, and Lamen Khalifa
Fhimah, 35 — "most definitely"
could be handed over for trial to
the United States or Britain.
Boutros-Ghali said he be
lieves "the Arab League must re
ceive the two accused Libyans
and hand them over ... in the
presence of a U.N. representa
tive."
The United States, Pickering
said, has "no objection to turn
ing the men over to the secre
tary-general without conditions
if they are turned over to one of
our governments."
At an emergency meeting
Sunday in Cairo, the Arab
League urged the Security
Council to hold off on sanctions
and give mediation a chance to
resolve the dispute.
Arab diplomats said Boutros-
Ghali had interceded with his
fellow Egyptian diplomat, Esmat
Abdel-Meguid, the Arab League
secretary general.

Texas, said.
"Before, when a complaint
came into our office, we would
read it and determine if it was, in
fact, a violation of the rules,"
Young said. "A good chunk of
these would be complaints like/I
didn't like the vyay my lawyer
talked to me,' or, T didn't like the
way my lawyer talked to the other
lawyer'. About 35 percent of the
complaints were not an infraction
of the rules."
Young said this new rule
would increase the State Bar's case
load from about 1200 statewide
hearings to around 6500 each year.
The second most important
change in the system will be in the
time frame between the filing of a
complaint and holding a hearing.
Young said.
"Once a complaint is filed, the
attorney has thirty days to re
spond to if," he said.
After that. Young said the
deadline for the hearing would be
another 30 days.
A limit of 180 days will also be
set on the amount of time it takes
a suit filed by the State Bar against
an attorney to be heard in the Dis
trict Court.
The increased case-load on the
State Bar's dockets will require a
larger amount of human and fi
nancial resources. Young said.
"We have a
grievance system '
Some people will justte

submerged section of the plane
and walked ashore.
Another passenger, who identi
fied herself only as Laura, said
that in the instant after the crash
she found herself "floating in the
water, because those seats float. I
opened my eyes, but there was no
plane over me. I was next to it."
Inside the fuselage, divers re
peatedly found dead passengers
floating head down, still strapped
into their floating seats. Some
were charred; others appeared to
have drowned.
"The seats are great if you can
unclip yourself to hang on," said
diver Nick Colangelo. "But people
rendered unconscious — if you're
strapped in, you drown."
The pilot, Wallace Majure II,
was among the latter. "We tried to
cut him out but couldn't," said
diver Bill Lake. "We were work
ing against the tide."
Divers carefully put each body
in a bag, placed it in a basket and
lifted it to shore with a crane. "We
tried to give them a little dignity
in death," said Officer Tom
Collins.
Two of the dead, Virginia and
Thoral Mitchell of Cleveland, had
reservations to fly out of Westch
ester County Airport. But when
they saw flights there were being
delayed, they switched to Flight
405.
"This doesn't happen to us,"
said their daughter, Tracy. "We're
normal people."
About 30 rescue workers suf
fered minor injuries, including hy
pothermia. Police diver George
Davenport's wet suit was sliced
by razor-sharp wreckage. "The
adrenaline is pumping so much,
you don't notice, but before you
know it you don't feel your legs
anymore," he said.
"It was just the most horrible
conditions you can have for some
thing like this," said police Sgt.
Michael Collins. "The snow, the
visibility, the fire, the smoke, the
injuries. The dead. The water
debris. The baggage floating
was bizarre, totally bizarre."
At first, only the cockpiU
