DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) —
rotestant militants claimed re-
Donsibility for a bomb that in
bred two train passengers Mon-
lay and said the attack was a
jiarning that Northern Ireland’s
rotestant majority would not be
(coerced, forced or persuaded
nto a united Ireland.”
The attack was the first in
Ireland since the Irish Republi-
lan Army announced a cease-fire
lug. 31 in its violent 25-year
[ampaign to drive the British
rom Northern Ireland. Britain
bid Ireland appealed to the IRA
lot to retaliate.
The IRA has not avenged
(hree attacks by Protestant mili-
(ants in Northern Ireland since
(he cease-fire was announced,
fwo Roman Catholics died in
(hose attacks.
Protestant extremists fear the
Evolving peace process will pull
Northern Ireland out of Britain
and into a union with Ireland.
Police said a small bomb
placed beneath a seat on the
morning train from Belfast,
Northern Ireland, exploded just
as the train arrived at Connolly
Station in Dublin. Two women
sitting on the seat suffered cuts
on their legs.
Irish Rail got a telephone
warning at about the time of the
explosion, but it was too late to
clear the train, spokesman Cyril
Ferris said.
Minutes before the explosion,
the outlawed Ulster Volunteer
Force sent a coded warning to
Ulster Television in Belfast.
The Ulster Volunteer Force
claimed it had planted bombs at
seven other places, including the
airport and the city hall. The
warning sent police racing
across the city, but no other
N. Korea vows to release
14 American remains
PANMUNJOM, Korea (AP)
North Korea, seeking im-
iroved ties with the United
itates, promised to hand over 14
offins containing the remains of
Anerican soldiers killed in the
1950-53 Korean War — the first
emains turned over this year.
The transfer Tuesday occurs
at a time when the two longtime
enemies are moving to improve
ies in the midst of the long-
tanding dispute over the Com
munist North’s nuclear pro
gram.
Last weekend, five U.S. diplo
mats visited the North’s capital
of Pyongyang for the first time
and began talks on exchanging
liaison offices, the first step to
ward normalizing relations.
Simultaneous talks are under
way in Berlin to replace the
North’s old-fashioned nuclear
sites with technology less adapt
able to weapons development.
The United States has said
resolving nuclear tensions is es
sential to improving ties with
the North, with which it has no
formal relations. Another condi
tion is the return of American
war dead.
At the North-South border
village of Panmunjom, 36 miles
north of Seoul, North Korean
soldiers are to hand over 14
coffins to U.N. honor guards.
U.S. officials say the remains
will be sent to an army laborato
ry in Hawaii for evaluation and
identification.
Tuesday’s transfer will bring
to 208 the total number of sets
of remains returned by North
Korea since 1990. U.S. officials
say only one set of remains has
been positively identified.

bombs were found.
In Belfast, the Ulster Volun
teer Force said the attack was a
warning to the Irish government
“that Northern Ireland is still
British and will not be coerced,
forced or persuaded into a unit
ed Ireland.”
The Combined Loyalist Mili
tary Command, representing
the Ulster Volunteer Force and
the outlawed Ulster Defense As
sociation, said last week that it
would not consider a cease-fire
until it sees what plans Britain
and Ireland have in store for
Northern Ireland.
Just a week after the cease
fire, Irish Prime Minister Albert
Reynolds clasped hands in
Dublin with Sinn Fein leader
Gerry Adams, in a historic
meeting that fed most Protes
tant fears.
Britain still says it wants as
surance the cease-fire is perma
nent before admitting Sinn Fein
to talks on the future of North
ern Ireland.
In Belfast, Britain’s top offi
cial in Northern Ireland, Sir
Patrick Mayhew, called the
bombing “revolting.”
Irish Justice Minister Maire
Geoghegan-Quinn, in a radio in
terview, said it was important
that “there should be no retalia
tion from any quarter to what
has happened.”
“It may well be an attempt to
get retaliation,” she said.
In Belfast, the small Ulster
Democratic Party predicted
more attacks in Ireland.
“What we have seen is a very
clear message being sent to Al
bert Reynolds regarding the
haste with which he is embrac
ing Sinn Fein,” said party leader
Gary McMichael.

Cubans continue to seek visas
HAVANA (AP) — Encouraged by news that the United States
will let more Cubans enter the country legally, hundreds of peo
ple milled around the U.S. government offices in Havana on
Monday, hoping for word on how to get a visa.
A spokesman for Cuba’s Interior Ministry said details of the
new U.S.-Cuban immigration deal were still being worked out
and would be announced in the state media.
“We’ve just got to be patient and wait,” said Olga Rodriguez.
“If everything were all right in this country, we wouldn’t have to
go anywhere.”
There were only a couple rafts on the shores of Cojimar. The
Havana neighborhood has been a main departure point for thou
sands of Cuban boat people fleeing hunger and poverty in their
Communist country this year.
Under a deal reached Friday, the U.S. administration agreed
to allow at least 20,000 Cubans a year to immigrate legally.
Cuba promised to halt the flight of rafters and gave them until
Tuesday to remove their crafts from the beach.
“I have more faith,” said Ricardo Lamonte, a 56-year-old ac
countant. “But I realize that not everybody can get in.”
The United States closed its embassy after President Fidel
Castro took power but maintains an interest section in the
seafront building that used to house the embassy. The interest
section is technically an arm of the Swiss Embassy.
“We’ll see how it goes,” Sonia Lobo, a 30-year-old school
teacher, said. “You can’t lose hope but you get fed up sometimes.”
