Investments® Equal Opportunity Employer International Page 4 The Battalion Wednesday, March 23, rur Korea to ask China for help in standclTi The Associated Press L/i STA TRAVEL SEOUL, South Korea — Tensions on the world’s most heavily armed border escalated Tuesday, with North Korea accusing South Korea of provoking war, and South Korea saying it needs better security to ensure peace. South Korean President Kim Young-sam said he would ask China, North Korea’s only major ally, to help ease the nuclear standoff on the divided peninsula. North Korea’s official news agency called South Korea’s plans to deploy Patriot missiles and conduct military exercises with the United States “provocative steps ... and a declaration of war.” North Korea, after refusing to allow full inspections of sites where it is suspected of developing nuclear weapons, threatened Monday to pull out of an international nuclear controls treaty. That could lead to a U.S. push for international sanctions. “If pressure is applied on this issue, that can only complicate the situation on the Korean peninsula and it will add to the tension there.” indicated iheir willingness to work withthfl U'f: - Chinese Premier Li Peng China has backed efforts to get North Korea to permit the inspections. But Chinese Premier Li Peng suggested Tuesday that China would not support economic sanctions. “If pressure is applied on this issue, that can only complicate the situation on the Korean peninsula and it will add to the tension there,” Li said in Beijing. In Washington, State Department spokesman Michael McCurry said Chinese officials have States on the Korean situation Tensions have risen sharply in thepii because of the North Korea’s refusal to alb nuclear inspections or to exchange envoi South Korea.

McCurry said a resolution warning Nortii it risked sanctions could be ready for U.N.St Council consideration later in the week Egyptian gunbattles leave 13 dead The Associated Press ASSIUT, Egypt — Police and Muslim militants fought more than 12 hours of gunbattles overnight and Monday, leaving 1 3 militants and security officers dead in extremist village strongholds in southern Egypt. The battles in troubled Assiut province were a marked increase in the violence surrounding the radicals’ campaign to topple the secular government and impose strict Islamic rule in Egypt. Interior Minister Hassan el-Alfy maintained that the latest attacks by radicals were acts of desperation under pressure from security forces. “What they’re doing is no more than trying to show they exist,” he was quoted as saying by the state-owned Middle East News Agency. Security sources said el-Alfy ordered 3,000 police from Cairo to take over three of Assiut's most violence- ridden villages. El-Alfy, the country’s chief police ofTkial, said informers were providing exact information on the militants. However, the radicals have succeeded in slaying police on an almost daily basis in southern Egypt. They killed four policemen and wounded five others, including two high-ranking officers, in the attack that started the overnight confrontation. In the militants’ two-years campaign of violence, more than 330 people have been killed, including government officials, police, militants, Coptic Christians and four foreign tourists. The government has arrested thousands and sentenced 51 people to die, 32 of whom already have been executed. The latest violence began with an attack on police in the Nile River village of Sidfa and ended in the morning as police in armored personnel carriers battled the radicals in the nearby village of Abu Tig.

Prison officials linked the fire to demonstrations at prisons across the country by inmates demanding voting rights. At Pietermaritzburg late Monday, protesting prisoners used beds as battering rams to force their way from their cells into the main courtyard, where they were in a standoff with guards and army troops called in as reinforcements. Pietermaritzburg is about 300 miles east of Johannesburg. In a statement, the Department of Correctional Services blamed the fire deaths and other disturbances on the “irresponsible” call for protests by a prison rights group. Golden Miles Bhudu of the South African Prisoners’ Organization said his group had called for peaceful protests, and that prison officials could have prevented violence. The deaths occurred at Queenstown Prison, about 500 miles south of Johannesburg. Department spokesman Col. Chris Dickers said that over the weekend, some of the men who died in the fire had joined weekend demonstrations that included marches, hunger strikes and other fires. Two inmates were killed Saturday near Cape Town in a cell fire, Dickers said. A Queenstown guard saw smoke coming from the cell just before noon Monday. Firefighters were called and prison guards ran to help, but they found the prisoners had stacked their steel beds against the cell door, Dickers said. Last week, the prisoners’ rights group called on inmates to stage peaceful protests to win the right to vote in the April 26-28 election, the first national ballot in South Africa to include the black majority.

U.N. spokesman George Bennett said Monday that he was relatively confident the agreement would be announced by Somalia’s principal warlords, Ali Mahdi Mohammed and Gen. Mohamed Farrah Aidid, and the leaders of 1 3 other factions. An expected announcement has been postponed three times since Sunday. The faction leaders have been meeting in Nairobi for a week with funding from the United Nations Operation in Somalia. Bennett said that if the faction leaders failed to reach agreement as promised Tuesday, “I don’t think the U.N. is going to fund their stay for any longer in Nairobi.” Aidid and Ali Mahdi are the main figures trying to take control of Somalia.
