The ex- teen-agers. Biryukov said three high red brick walls has game machine exploded in an up scale shopping mall adjacent to the Kremlin yesterday, injuring 30 peo ple, police said. Moscow police spokesperson Viktor Biryukov said it was unclear whether the blast was planned or ac cidental. He said the explosion, which hit at 8:04 p.m. (12:04 p.m. EOT), caused no fire. Fire officials evacuated the busy Manezh shopping center, an un derground complex just outside the plosion hit on the bottom floor of the complex in a room of video game machines. Television footage showed ambulances rushing to the scene, their lights whirring. The complex was roped off to keep onlookers from entering the mall. The mall, which opened to much fanfare in 1997, includes top- name retailers. The game room is next to a huge food court, and both are popular hangouts for Russian people were hospitalized, of 30 in jured total. The Moscow prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case into the blast, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.

Momir Talic, the Bosnian Serb military chief of staff, sat qui etly with his hands in his lap dur ing his 10-minute arraignment be fore the tribunal. The U.N. war crimes tribunal did not immediate ly set a trial date for Talic, who faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted. Talic, 57, was secretly indicted in March along with former Bosnian Serb Cabinet minister Radislav Brd- janin. He was arrested last week while attending a conference in Vi enna. Brdjanin had been arrested and brought to The Hague July 6. The men, who will stand trial together, are accused of planning and orchestrating a violent purge of more than 100,000 Muslims and Croats from northwest Bosnia in 1992. Their indictment describes the campaign as “a plan designed to expel ... non-Serb populations on political, racial or religious grounds” and alleges they were personally responsible for the tor ture, murder, imprisonment and deportation of Muslims and Croats. “These people will stay under the reach of the law for the rest of their lives” — Louise Arbour U.N. Chief Prosecutor Prosecutors allege that troops under their command ran the infa mous Omarska, Keraterm and TVnopolje prison camps where de tainees were "killed, tortured, and continually subjected to physical and psychological maltreatment and inhumane treatment." On her last official day on the job, departing Chief Prosecutor Louise Arbour of Canada said she is confident that other top suspects indicted by the tribunal eventually will be brought to justice. "These people will stay under the reach of the law for the rest of their lives,” Arbour said. “One day either they will be apprehended or, in the case of high-ranking figures, the chances are good that they will see it to be in their best interest to surrender." Arbour and her successor. Swiss federal prosecutor Carla del Pointe, discussed investigative strategies during meetings last week. She said more indictments would come.

HHtssman 1 But hi' not Uniter Kin^ se to tut AI Fayed: Son planned to marry Diana LONDON (AP) — Marking exactly two years since Princess Diana’s death, Mohamed Al Fayed yesterday displayed the ring he insists would have marked her engagement to his son Dodi. The ring and a glass of champagne that Al Fayed said is the one the cou ple last drank from before their deaths in a Paris crash were added to shrines at his Harrods department store. At Diana’s former Kensington Palace home, her most ardent ad- DIANA mirers petitioned for a permanent memorial. Jill Marseilles, who stood outside the palace for two days this week collecting 4,000 signatures, said she was “overwhelmed” by the response. ‘‘The palace will have to take notice now.” Mar seilles said. “Last year, people came here to pay their respects. This year, they are getting angry." •Al Fayed, whose dealings with the government and Di ana’s family have grown embittered, said the deaths on Aug. 31, 1997, were a conspiracy plotted by people who did not approve of Diana's relationship with an Egyptian. He said his son and Diana were planning to marry and the diamond ring Dodi had bought was to have been an engagement ring. n out in drove' The same attitudes back the pill's govern proval in this male-di nation remain major threatening to block its cep ta nee — among t and women.
