Colombia plunged deeper into political crisis Monday when Fernando Botero, a former defense minister, said Samper was aware that the world's most powerful cocaine syndicate helped him win the election with millions of dollars in contributions. "He knew. It's the truth. He knew," Botero, once a close friend of Samper, told the television news program CMI. "It's a central fact. He is very seriously compromised." Samper, who has been plagued by the allegations since his election, went on national television to deny Botero's "slanderous statements."

The United States has long suspected Samper of ties to drug traffickers and has criticized narcotics-relate- d corruption in the Colombian government. U.S. officials have largely kept silent on the scandal, fearing Samper would use any criticism to whip up Colombian nationalism. They had no comment late Mon- if - V A . i; i 5 4 " fa k i day. The allegations Botero made are not new; the jailed campaign treasurer, Santiago Medina, said last year that Samper knew about the drug money. But Botero is a more respected figure.

Salman Raduyev's survival is a severe embarrassment to the Russian government, which claimed to have wiped out most of the rebel gunmen and freed their hostages standoff. after a But Raduyev and some of his 10-d- ay men broke through Russian forces surrounding the southern village of Pervomayskaya last week and escaped back to the their separatist republic, taking dozens of hostages Boris Yeltsin, addressing the opening session of the Federation Council, parliament's upper house, today vowed that Russia would go after the Chechen rebels. He said Russia's policy was "unquestionably tough suppression of terrorist bases, the elimination of armed groups and their leaders those who are blatantly trying to impose their conditions on us, hiding behind the backs of women and children hostages," the Interfax news agency said. " was Raduyev reportedly defending the Jan. 9 raid on the town of Kizlyar and his decision to seize hostages. He said the original plan was to destroy a nearby mili . tary airport, but his fighters were driven off by Russian troops. "A unit can take hostages to protect itself from annihilation," Raduyev was quoted as saying in the English-languag- e daily. But Chechen separatist leader Dzhokhar Dudayev has said Raduyev went against orders in taking the hostages and will be court-martiale- d. The Moscow Times said Raduyev had at least 48 hostages with him, including 16 Russian Interior Ministry troops, in his mountain hideout. Some were staying in an underground bunker, the report said. The rebels have said they would release most of the civilian hostages as soon as today. But officials of the neighboring republic of Dagestan, where the raid took place, told the ITAR-Tas- s and Interfax news agencies Monday the Chechens would let the hostages go only on condition the bodies of dead rebels be turned over. The Chechens also reportedly offered to exchange 29 abducted power plant workers for rebel fighters captured by Russian troops during last week's standoff. Raduyev claimed that 40 of his fighters were killed, including 30 who died trying to escape from The Pervomayskaya, 153 rebel deaths. The figures can not be independently confirmed Sporadic fighting has continued in the drawn-ou- t Lhechen war as Russian troops have been unable to put down the rebels' struggle for independence. Russian troops in Chechnya came under fire 19 times in the past 24 hours. ITARrTass said today. No one was killed but three Russian servicemen were wounded, it said. Russia sent tens of thousands' of troops into Chechnya in December 1994 to end the region's three indepenyears of dence. Up to 30,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed. Moscow self-declar- Times said. This differs widely from the Russian official count of with them. "Look how powerless the Russian army is," The Moscow Times quoted Raduyev as saying from his Chechen hideout. We still have over 4 A $200,000.00 M peciai 1J 90 DAYS urchase! a SAME AS CASH! oac.
