VIEQUES, Puerto Rico (AP) —The
Navy^wasted no time in announcing new
bombing exercises at its prized Atlantic
training ground Thursday, after federal
agents ousted 213 protesters to end their
defiant yearlong occupation.
Backed by helicopters and ships, 200
FBI agents and 100 U.S. Marshals swept
across Puerto Rico’s Vieques Island at
dawn, detaining the activists, several
lawmakers, a bishop and nuns.
Pentagon officials said the Navy in
tends to resume training within two weeks
using dummy bombs, as President Clin
ton and Puerto Rican Gov. Pedro Rossel-
lo agreed in January. Vieques residents,
meanwhile, will vote on whether the Navy
should leave the island in 2003. A date for
the referendum has not been set.
The resumption of training is a pre
requisite for the transfer of $40 million
in economic aid for Vieques called for by
the January agreement.
In Washington, Attorney General
Janet Reno said all 12 protest sites were
cleared and that there would be no
charges against the demonstrators unless
they assaulted federal officers or returned
to range.
“All indications are that the protest
ers have handled themselves in a peace
ful and dignified manner,” Reno said.
Some protesters tried to run away
when agents arrived, but “that was a
short-lived exercise,” said FBI agent
Dave Miller.
Justice Department spokesperson My
ron Marlin said that 213 people had been
removed from the base, including 64 from
the main gate area and the remainder from
12 camps inside. They w ere taken to Rm>-
sevelt Roads Naval Station, which ad
ministers the nearby Vieques range, for
processing and release.
Marlin said there were no injuries to
federal agents.

Soldier admits to
killing hundreds
PRETORIA, South
Africa (AP) — A former
special forces officer on
Thursday described killing
hundreds of black prisoners
and tossing their corpses
from an airplane, shedding
light on one of the worst
horrors committed by
apartheid South Africa.
Johan Theron’s testi
mony for the lirst time
crystallized the events of
two decades ago. Sketchy
reports had surfaced earli
er of the murders of some
200 members of a guerril
la group that fought South
Africa’s occupation of
neighboring Namibia,
known as South West
Africa until it won inde
pendence in 1990.
The killings began
with crude and gruesome
stranglings, but evolved
into more sophisticated
poisonings with the evi
dence disposed of in the
frigid waters of the At
lantic, Theron told tiie
Pretoria I ligh Court.
Adjusting his gold-
rimmed glasses while
leaning forward in the wit
ness stand, Theron told of
flinging his victims’
corpses from a plane
12,000 feet above the At
lantic and watching the
bodies plummet to the sea.
“The people had to be
dead before I threw them
into the sea,” the former
lieutenant colonel ex
plained, to eliminate any
chance of their surviving
the fall and returning to
implicate him.
Most had been killed by
an overdose of muscle re-
laxants, supplied by Dr.
Wouter Basson, who ran
apartheid South Africa’s
chemical and biological
weapons program, Theron
said. Theron was testifying
Thursday as a prosecution
witness in Basson’s murder,
conspiracy and fraud trial.
