U.S. ambassador for Mexico
causing stir on domestic issues I
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY - The new
U.S. ambassador has been front
page news for weeks — not partic
ularly good, either — and he isn't
even here yet.
After James R. Jones told the
U.S. Senate he would be willing to
pressure Mexico on such domestic
issues as election fraud and gov
ernment corruption, politicians
and the press fretted that he
would be an interventionist.
They have calmed down since,
but intend to keep an eye on him.
"We think the statements were
unfortunate," Mario del Valle Fer
nandez, a legislator from the rul
ing Institutional Revolutionary
Party, told The Associated Press
last week.
"For us, these are domestic is
sues, issues of sovereignty. Mr.
Jones needs to respect us and lis
ten to our point of view. And he
needs to be careful what he says."
Mexico's relations with Ameri
can ambassadors often have been
difficult. Jones says he will be dif
ferent, but he may have to prove
it.
John Gavin, who once held the
job, likened it to walking through
a minefield.
In a telephone interview, Jones
said the news reports did not
bother him and that he would not
interfere in Mexico's internal af
fairs.
He said his comment to Sen.
Jesse Helms, R-N.C., during his
confirmation hearing in July was
blown out of proportion by the
Mexican press.
"Once the reporters get to
know me and my way of opera
tion, there won't be any problem,"
he said. Jones is scheduled to ar
rive in Mexico Tuesday to assume
his new job overseeing Washing
ton's largest diplomatic mission.
Ambush kills 7 soldiers, warlord to blame
The Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia — The United Nations
blamed an ambush that killed seven Nigerian sol
diers on warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid, and a U.S.
official said the attack demonstrated the need to
quickly capture the fugitive leader.
The attack was the deadliest assault on U.N.
peacekeepers in Somalia since June, when 24 Pak
istani soldiers died.
Seven Nigerian soldiers and a U.S. diplomat were
wounded Sunday. A Nigerian soldier was also miss
ing.
The Nigerian commander accused the Italian U.N.
contingent of not coming to his soldiers' aid.
Later Sunday, Somali fighters fired on a U.N. air
field, and American troops in helicopters responded
by attacking the Somali mortar position with cannons
and rockets, a U.N. spokesman in Mogadishu said.
Spokesman Maj. David Stockwell said he knew of
no Somali or U.N. casualties.
He said the Somali fighters took cover in a nearby
building used as a hospital, and the U.N. forces held
their fire.
The seven Nigerians were killed as they went to
the aid of other U.N. peacekeepers surrounded by a
mob of stone-throwing Somalis.
Capt. Tim McDavitt, a U.N. military spokesman,
said the platoon of Nigerian soldiers returned fire for
at least half an hour, but it was not known if there
were any Somali casualties.
Somali bystanders said at least 30 of their country
men were killed or wounded.
McDavitt said that in addition to the seven Nigeri
ans killed and seven wounded, one was missing. So
mali bystanders said one Nigerian, a sergeant, had
been captured.
An unidentified American diplomat attached to
the U.S. liaison office in Mogadishu was shot in the
chest after he and five colleagues apparently stum
bled onto the ambush, the official said.
The diplomat was later listed in fair to good con
dition at an American military hospital.
In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Boutros
Boutros-Ghali deplored the deaths, and said they
demonstrated "the urgent need" to disarm all of So
malia's factions.
Retired Adm. Jonathan Howe, the U.N. special en
voy to Somalia, called the ambush a "wanton, unpro
voked and premeditated attack" and blamed it on
Aidid.
Robert Gosende, the U.S. special representative in
Somalia, said the attack emphasized the need to
quickly capture Aidid, who has been waging an ur
ban guerrilla war against the United Nations for
months.
The commander of Nigerian forces in Somalia, Lt.
Col. Ola Oyinlolo, heatedly accused Italian troops of
not coming to the aid of his soldiers, underscoring di
visions within the 29-nation U.N. force.
