Yemen tribesmen

SANA, Yemen (AP) — Three
Americans traveling in Yemen
were kidnapped by tribesmen
demanding the release of 25 sus
pects detained in an attack on an
oil pipeline, a security official
said yesterday.
The Americans — a teacher
based in the Yemeni capital and
her visiting parents — were ab
ducted by gunmen as they re
turned to San‘a from a trip to the
south Tliesday, the official said.
He spoke on condition of
anonymity.
The teacher, Marta R. Colburn,
works for the American Institute
for Yemeni Studies in San‘a, said
an institute employee who also
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Colburn is from Portland, Ore.,
where she was formerly deputy
director of Middle East studies at
Portland State University.
Grant Farr, Colburn’s former
boss at the university, identified
Colburn’s parents as Don and
Gladys Colburn.
In Washington, the State De
partment said it was working with
the Yemeni government to try to
secure their release.
“We remain hopeful because in
these tribal kidnappings in the past,
we have been able to secure the re
lease of Americans and Yemen has
been able to secure the release of
other foreign nationals,” spokesper
son James P. Rubin said.
The government ordered
troops and tanks to encircle the
suspected hideout of the kidnap
pers, who belong to the Bani
Jabr tribe of the Habab Valley in
Marib province, east of San’a,
the official said.
The security official said the
kidnappers were demanding the
release of 25 fellow tribesmen
who were detained in connec
tion with the blowing up an oil
pipeline on Oct. 21.
The abductions came nine
days after the government execut
ed Zein Al-Abidine al-Mihdar, an
Islamic leader who was convicted
of abducting 16 Western tourists,
four of whom died in a botched
rescue attempt in December.
Yemeni tribesmen often kidnap
foreigners to pressure the govern
ment into providing money or bet
ter services, such as new roads,
for their impoverished areas. The
kidnappers usually release the
hostages unharmed.
Colburn, who was fluent in
Arabic, was not very political,
preferring to learn about people
and their culture instead, said
Farr, chair of the university’s so
ciology department and former
director of its Middle East stud
ies program said. She liked to ex
plore remote parts of cities.
"You could see how she could
end up in a situation where she
could be in danger,” he said.
competitors’ death iodem
JERUSALEM (AP) - An ugly
feud among Israel’s newspaper
dynasties took a bizarre and sin
ister twist yesterday, with news
that a publishing magnate stands
accused of plotting to kill his two
main competitors.
Ofer Nimrodi, publisher of the
Maariv daily until he suspended
himself last week, already has
served time for wiretapping a rival’s
phones. He called the new allega
tions — made by a former wiretap
ping accomplice —"wicked lies,”
and part of an attempt to extort mil
lions of dollars fromhim.
A gag order on the police inves
tigation was lifted ai dawn, and Is
raelis awoke to headlines — in
cluding Maariv’s - screaming out
the latest news in the scandal.
They learned that Rafi Pridan, a
private investiganr serving four
years in prison forpianting bugs for
Nimrodi, has accused his former
boss of plottingco kill publishers
Amos Schocket of Haaretz and
Arnon Mozes c Yediot Ahronoi,
the nation’s topselling paper.
The third taget allegedly was
Pridan’s formf partner, Yaakov
Tzur, who beome a prosecution
witness in thi wiretapping case,
the media reprts said.
Nimrodi ha served four months
of an eight-mnth sentence for or
dering Yediot’phones bugged. His
father, an arms dealer, wasi
in an illegal arms tradewiill
the 1980’s. Yaakov Niit
placed his son as Maariv’spl
er last week.

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) —
Gunmen seized Armenia’s parlia
ment in a torrent of automatic
weapons fire yesterday, killing the
prime minister and at least six other
people before holing up in the build
ing with dozens of hostages.
With the bodies of some of
their victims still on the podium,
the attackers, whose motives re
mained unclear, demanded to see
the president.
“They said it was a coup and
called on the journalists to inform
people about it. They said they
were going to punish the authori
ties for what they did to the na
tion,” said one reporter who was
in the chamber.
Armenian television broadcast
footage of the stunning attack,
showing at least two men in long
coats firing automatic weapons in
the parliament chamber. Some
lawmakers dove under their
desks, others fled into the streets.
One of the attackers ap
proached Prime Minister Vazgen
Sarkisian and said: “Enough of
drinking our blood,” according to
reporters present during the at
tack. The premier calmly re
sponded, “Everything is being
done for you and the future of
your children.”
The attacker — identified by
reporters as Nairi Unanian, an ex
treme nationalist and former jour
nalist — opened fire.
The other gunmen included
Unanian’s brother and uncle, the
reporters said.
The attack was likely to plunge
Armenia into a major political crisis.
The country, which became inde
pendent following the 1991 Soviet
collapse, has been plagued by polit
ical and economic turmoil for the
past decade.
President Clinton said he was
shocked and saddened by the attack.
“I condemn the senseless act
against individuals actively en
gaged in building democracy in
their country,” Clinton said in a
statement. “The victims and their
families are in our thoughts and
prayers.”
Hundreds of police and soldiers
ringed the parliament building in
central Yerevan. Two armored per
sonnel carriers took up positions in
the grounds and President Robert
Kocharian was personally directing
security operations.
The gunmen were demanding
talks with Kocharian, the coun
try’s top leader, but officials did
not say if any other demands had
been made. Police said up to five
gunmen held dozens of hostages
in the main chamber of the par
liament building.
A TV cameraperson, Gagik
Saratikian, who was allowed in
side the chamber after the attack,
said the gunmen appeared calm,
directing him to film scenes in the
wrecked hall.
“We’re not terrorists, be calm,”
he said one of assailant told him.
His footage showed the bodies
of Sarkisian and Parliament Speak

thpodium, where they had been

The motive for the attack was
n clear, although speculation
otered on the Armenian enclave
cNagorno-Karabakh, which has
•minated Armenian politics for
e past decade.
The enclave was under the
mtrol of the neighboring Soviet
^public of Azerbaijan, whose ter-
itory surrounded it. The enclave
leclared independence in early
1988 and drove Azerbaijani
troops out with Armenia’s help.
