Show tit World The Daily Herald, Provo. I'tah A:, Palestinian: Hatred led to soldier's death Bulgarian party chief NUSSEIRAT CAMP, Occupied Gaza Strip (AP) The young man from Bureij was explaining why Palestinians stoned and burned to death an Israeli soldier at the refugee camp. His first words were "deep hatred." The man was 20, a carpenter with dark brown eyes. He had fled across the highway to Nusseirat five days earlier, just after Sgt. Amnon Pomerantz died in his car on Bureij's main street. The reservist had driven into the camp by accident. He was stoned, tried to speed away in panic and rammed into a donkey-cart- , injuring two youngsters. Then came a barrage of stones and the flaming, gasoline-soake- d rags that incinerated his car and ended his life. The slaying proved the fragility of what Israelis have called a "relative calm" in Palestinians' revolt against Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, which were seized in the l!Ki7 Arab-Israe- li war. Clashes erupted anew between g soldiers and youths in Gaza and on Monday freshly painted slogans in Nusseirat praised "heroic brothers" in Bureij.

Another 97 people were injured, many seriously, said Bangkok police superintendent Col. Kongdej Marines say they're ready for terrorists SAUDI ARABIA (AP) Marines guarding a military supply port in northeast Saudi Arabia said today the greatest danger to them was a Beirut-styl- e terrorist car bombing. But they said they were ready to quash any threat. "I think he'd be a pretty foolish terrorist to take us on," said Chief Warrant Officer Charles Rowe, who was shipped out of Lebanon the day before the Oct. 23, 1983, car bombing that killed 241 American servicemen. "This is a personal opinion, but I wouldn't mind evening the score," Rowe said in a dockside interview as fellow Marines marched and drove around the port perimeter. Of any potential terrorist attacker, he said: "I know he's going to suffer. I'll promise you he'll suffer. We're going to hurt him." The Marines search for answers about the impact of the Beirut bombing on their units and psyches even as they insist there is no comparison to the peacekeeping deployment in Lebanon and the defensive mission in Saudi Arabia. In Lebanon, the Marines were grouped in a vulnerable barracks building and all but the last layer of their security was in the hands of the fractious Lebanese military. In Saudi Arabia, the Marines are spread across the port area and have an elaborate security system that includes decoy guard posts and targets. The Marines say they trust the Saudis who guard other sectors of the port, which receives supplies for the entire American n ilitary deployment. 43 54 Watjanapooka.

But they Jordan (AP) Jordan is wounded and its leaders are confused and unable to understand what they see as an acrimonious campaign against a tiny kingdom struggling to survive in peace. "We feel that since the Americans and the Europeans and the allies of the United States for that matter cannot punish Iraq, what they are trying to do is punish Jordan. We don't know the reason behind it," said Deputy Foreign Minister Mutasem Bilbeisi. Western diplomats contend privately that Jordan has not done enough to condemn Iraq for its AMMAN, JIL.IIJI.UX .1 - Jl.- - 4. IUUJUUHU, agree the punishment does not fit the crime. Jordan's already faltering economy has been driven to its knees by the Persian Gulf crisis. Perhaps Jordan was slow to adhere to the embargo, but the world has been slower still with the aid Jordan needs to survive, the country's leaders say. "You cannot deny the fact that we could have made billions if we wanted to out of this crisis," Bilbeisi said in an interview.

Officials administered food and medical care to 2,000 flood victims at 25 public schools converted into shelters on Monday night, Red Cross spokesman Blanca Patricia Valies said. About 800 people were in shelters run by the army. About 5,000 were rendered homeless by flooding from downpours that began late Saturday, state spokesman Jorge Macias said. He described it as the worst storm to hit Chihuahua, the state capital, in a century. Forecasters said about 5 inches of rain fell on the city. Alfonso Sanchez Gallo, spokesman for the Chihuahua state governor's office, said nine people were areas set missing from in gullies. ' It rains very little here. Many humble people with scant resources built their homes in the gulches. ... That's the only reason why so many people, homes and vehicles were carried away," he said. More than 300 homes collapsed and 350 vehicles were swept away. Sanchez Gallo said. stone-throwin- the north, youngsters set tires ablaze.

But it also has tried to prevent the deployment of foreign troops in a region with bitter memories of colonalism and foreign domination. King Hussein has tried to slow the steady march toward war by seeking to negotiate an Arab solution to the crisis. deal with Iraq, a country that accounted for about 40 percent of Jordan's trade, he said. 3ilbeisi and other Jordanian officials, speaking on condition they not be identified, try to portray Jordan as a voice of reason in a world gone mad. Like the United States, Jordan has called for Iraq to withdraw Monday night, Palestinians said army bulldozers had leveled about a dozen buildings, including the camp's only gas station. They said at least 39 homes or businesses were expected to be destroyed. Army officials had said houses of those who conunitted the "lynch murder" would be flattened, along with buildings along the camp's main road, which is to be widened for security reasons. They would not give a number. Some Israeli leaders have called for harsher punislunents in Bureij in retaliation for Pomerantz's death. Agriculture minister Rafael Eitan urged that 100 or 200 young men from Bureij be deported to Lebanon. In Nusseirat, people expressed fear of what might happen in Bureij just across Gaza's main but added that they highway expected Palestinians would avenge whatever punishment was meted out. But Western diplomats contend his efforts are unrealistic, that none of the proposals meet even the minimum requirements of the U.N. Security Council resolutions seeking to force Iraq to relinquish Kuwait.
