Russians target Islamic rebels
Grozny
GROZNY, Russia (AP) — Terri
fied civilians tried to flee Chechnya
by the thousands yesterday, driven
out by a Russian bombing blitz in
tended to crush Islamic rebels in
the breakaway republic.
“I wish I were dead,” mourned
Tamara Aliyeva, 70, whose house
in Grozny was destroyed by Russ
ian bombs. “I don't know what to
do or where to go.”
Aliyeva joined tens of thou
sands of Chechens who headed for
the neighboring republic of In
gushetia in hopes of finding refuge
— only to find the border closed.
In Grozny, Russian airplanes
were raining bombs and missiles
for the fifth straight day. Witness
es said oil refineries in Grozny were
ablaze, blanketing the capital in
choking black smoke.
Russian jets also struck other
cities and villages throughout
Chechnya, targeting suspected
rebel bases along with oil derricks
and other industrial facilities.
Chechen President Aslan
Maskhadov claimed yesterday that
300 people had been killed in
Grozny alone. The figure could not
be independently confirmed.
Many Chechen refugees trapped
on the Russian border were in a
state of shock.
“Where is my Mama?” 8-year
old Liza Temirsultanova kept ask
ing between sobs.
Her grandfather. Ayup Temir-
sultanov, said Liza's mother, baby
sister and two brothers had been
killed by Russian bombs in
Grozny yesterday.

Lawyers present Pinochet cf
LONDON (AP) — With supporters and opponents
of Gen. Augusto Pinochet clamoring outside, lawyers
for Spain laid out their case against
the former Chilean dictator yester

the most serious allegations of crime
ever to come before English courts.”
On the opening day of a long-de

Spain urged the magistrate to con

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Re
sponding to a U.N. official’s state
ment the Vatican had conceded de
feat on reproductive issues, a
spokesperson reiterated yesterday
the Church’s opposition to abortion

rector, Nafis Sadik, said Wednesday
that the Vatican has “accepted that
the international community has ac

the human rights of women.”
“They believe the debate has
been lost,” Sadik said in London as
she presented her agency’s yearly
report on world population.
