WASHINGTON (AP) Saudi
Arabia’s reluctance to allow U.S.
use of its air bases for attacks on
Iraq does not shut the door on
President Clinton’s options. T he
United States could still deliver a
powerful blow using warplanes
from aircraft carriers and bases
elsewhere in the Persian Gulf.
Saudi Arabia is the most im
portant American ally in the Gulf,
and U.S. Air Force planes and
support systems based there
would be especially useful — but
not vital — in any air campaign
against Iraq that lasted more than
a few days.

TRENTO, Italy (AP) — A U.S. mil
itary plane on a low-level training
flight over the snowy Alps sliced
through a cable-car line, sending a
gondola full of skiers crashing hun
dreds of feet to the ground. At least 20
people inside the car died.
Officials at the U.S. air base in
Aviano in northern Italy, where the
Marine EA-6B Prowler was based,
said the accident was being investi
gated and all low-level missions by
U.S. military aircraft in Italy have
been suspended.
The pilot and his three-member
crew returned safely to Aviano, said
Brig. Gen. Tim
“ [the pilot] was
apparently unaware
that he had struck a
cable or injured
anyone.
William Cohen
U.S. Defense Secretary
Peppe, com
mander of the
base’s resident
31st fighter
wing. The
plane sus
tained minor
tail damage.
Peppe,
speaking at a
news confer
ence at Aviano,
did not specu
late on a cause,
only discounting
engine trouble.
In Washing
ton, U.S. Defense Secretary
William Cohen told the Senate
Armed Services Committee that
the pilot “was apparently unaware
that he had struck a cable or in
jured anyone.”
Base officials said American pi
lots fly dozens of training mis
sions over Italy every day. The ac
cident occurred at 3:15 p.m. local
time under sunny skies at a ski re
sort in the Val di Fassa area of the
Dolomite Mountains near Trento.
The cable car was traveling from
the town of Cavalese, 80 miles
northeast of Trento, to the top of
Cermis mountain, site of a popu
lar local ski resort.
The cabin had just begun its as
cent from the base at Cavalese, at
an altitude of about 3,000 feet, and
was heading toward a mid-station
when it fell, said Alessia
Dezugliana, an employee of the
Alpe Cermis ski area.
