The violence broke out after sev- eral protesters scaled the iron gates of the New South Wales Parliament House and members of the increasingly irate crowd managed to rip out two sections of the gate. Protesters poured toward Parliament's front door and were met by police reinforcements. Scuffles broke out as police battled to remove the protesters. Police kept the protesters from entering the building. They managed to force the crowd back onto the street and formed a humaii chain to cover the hole in the fence. The demonstrators took away a front gate section of the cast-iro- n and dumped it in the street. Chanting and waving signs, they also began throwing beer cans and rocks at police.

Jacksonville Juneau Kansas City NEW YORK (AP) Bitter foes Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Kar-po- v finally sat down to their world chess rematch, but five hours after their first game began, the result was the same as the last time they met a draw. The two opened the 1990 World Chess Championship on Monday at the Hudson Theater, where a hushed crowd of about 700 paid up to $100 a ticket to watch the first of 24 scheduled games. After 30 moves apiece, Kasparov, the champion, offered a draw and Karpov accepted. The two play again Wednesday. When they last met for the championship in 1987 the competition ended in a draw and Kasparov retained the title he won from Karpov in 1985. They are polar opposites when it comes to chess styles, politics and personalities. Their rivalry is intense. Kasparov, 27, the highest-rate- d player in the history of chess, has a bold, attacking style. Karpov, 39, relies on methodical, defense-minde- d strategies. The younger man is a flamboyant champion who does not hesitate to criticize his country's communist leaders. long-await- Partly cloudy in the north and mostly sunny in the central portion on Wednesday.

The Indian Embassy said the expulsions, ordered late Monday, represent a move by Pakistan to whip up fears of an Indian plot to sabotage this country's Oct. 24 parliamentary elections. The ousted diplomats were working at the Indian consulate in the southern port city of Karachi. They have been ordered to leave the country within 10 days, a Pakistani Foreign Ministry release said. "These Indian officials were involved in undesirable activities which were totally incompatible with their official status," the statement said. The ministry refused to elaborate. "I think it's been in the cards for some time, what with this orchestrated thing building up in the press ... charging Indians are doing a lot of subversive activity," said an Indian Embassy spokesman, referring to almost daily reports of an Indian-backe- d sabotage plot. Last week, army Gen. Mirza Aslam Beg said an "extremely dangerous" plot to sabotage polling had been uncovered. He hinted that a "foreign hand" was behind it, a term Pakistan uses when referring to India. chief-of-sta- ff L-- IS, f & r 4..v v.'..

"The Iraqis are doing their best to obliterate Kuwait's identity and seal it off from the outside," said one senior Western diplomat displaced by Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion. "The world doesn't realize how successful they are." While noting that no accurate count was possible, he estimated that hundreds, if not thousands, of KUwaitis had been put to death. Some were shot in front of their families. Many others were deported to Iraq. Diplomats and Kuwaiti officials in exile endorsed a recent Amnesty International report of "a horrifying picture of widespread arrests, torture under interrogation, summary executions and mass extrajudicial killings." Beyond that, the diplomats and officials said, Iraq was carting off everything from blood supplies in hospitals to traffic lights and forcing citizens to exchange Kuwaiti papers for Iraqi identity cards. They described a harrowing climate of fear and repression, which in recent days has triggered another exodus of Kuwaitis into Saudi Arabia. In one incident, a Western diplomat said, Iraqi soldiers shot to death five hospital workers when doctors told them that a wounded comrade they brought in was already dead on arrival. Saddam has entrusted the dismantling of Kuwait to a relative, Ali Hassan al Majid, who two years ago commanded a brutal military campaign that crushed a Kurdish uprising with the help of poison gas, diplomats said. "That gives some idea of Saddam's thinking," one Western specialist observed. As a result of the pressure, Kuwaiti government sources said they were not encouraging armed resistance which might provoke even more violence. Some 430,000 Iraqi troops reported to be deployed in occupied Kuwait and southern Iraq outnumber Kuwaitis left in the emirate. Few sources were prepared to be named since the Iraqis have acted on published information from refugees and exiles to target reprisals, diplomats reported. Increased checkpoints and search teams are rooting out suspected dissidents and Westerners on the run. Intelligence units search bank records and private papers to hunt down members of the emir's family and former officials. Iraq has closed Kuwait not only to journalists but also to the Red Cross and humanitarian workers. house-to-hou- Deputy Prime Minister Taha Yassim Ramadan, a close aide of Saddam's, recently denied human rights abuses, then said Iraq would "cut off the legs" of anyone trying to enter Kuwait without permission. Accounts by refugees fit together to draw a clear picture of Iraqi intent. "They've taken almost every- a thing to Iraq," said Yusuf Kuwaiti Airways pilot who crossed into Saudi Arabia on Sunday. "You see trucks in front of the big houses. They strip them carpets, videos, anything." On a larger scale, technicians al-A- li, have dismantled medical equipment and research facilities, burned public buildings and looted grain stocks. "They don't need a lot of the things they're taking," said Ali Abu-As- i, an aide to Kuwait's Crown Prince, Sheik Saad, interviewed in Taif, Saudi Arabia. "It's to dominate Kuwait, to humiliate it and make it just another province of Iraq." Iraqi forces are especailly brutal with anyone representing authority or anyone suspected of armed resistance, the sources agreed. They said nearly every captured Kuwaiti military and police officer was either shot on the spot or taken off for days and then returned to be executed in front of relatives. Over the past few weeks, large numbers of Iraqis have settled in the conquered emirate, either encouraged by Baghdad or drawn by the chance to grab unprotected property. Holdout Western embassies have maintained a defiant, if symbolic, presence despite Iraqi orders that since Kuwait has been declared Iraq's 19th province, foreign embassies are no longer permitted. Group already planning to send Christmas gifts to forces in gulf - An orga(AP) nization that sent $3 million worth of gift packages to servicemen in Vietnam is cranking up to ship Christmas packages to American soldiers in the Persian Gulf. Roger Chapin, president of Help Hospitalized Veterans, said his goal is to raise enough money to send 250,000 packages, enough for every American serving in Operation Desert Shield. WASHINGTON Chapin said the packages will have a retail value of at least $15, including packaging and shipping, and will contain nuts, cookies, dates, raisins, hard candies and other treats. Each package will include a Christmas card from the donor, along with a return card for the recipient to send. Chapin said the cost to the donor for one package would be $15. Two can be sponsored for $25, four for six for $75 and eight for $100. People wishing to donate may call (or from Oct. 14 to Nov. 15, or may send a check or money order to "G.I. Christmas Gift Pac" at P.O. Box 91560, Washington, D.C. $50, 20090. "This will be the ideal vehicle for Americans to demonstrate their care and appreciation as well as their solidarity and support to our troops in the Persian Gulf," Chapin said. Help Hospitalized Veterans is an offshoot of Vietnam Gift Pac, which Chapin, a former San Diego real estate developer, founded in 1967 after a chance meeting with a Navy corpsman wounded in Vietnam. The organization raised money to package and ship gift packages, each containing $9.12 worth of 28 personal items, including medicated foot powder, instant lemonade water and to flavor first aid cream for jungle sores. Chapin, an Army veteran, founded Help Hospitalized Veterans in it 1970. The organization provides hospitalized veterans with arts and crafts kits. In a related development, the Postal Service urged Americans mailing Christmas gifts to service personnel in the gulf region to mail early. in "With the military build-u- p Saudi Arabia, we're expecting a big strain to be placed on our mail transportation system worldwide," said Allen Kane, assistant postmaster general for delivery, distribution and transportation. The Postal Service said that to ensure timely delivery to the Middle East, air parcels should be mailed by Nov. 16, letters and cards by Nov. 26, parcel airlift mail by Nov. 10 and mail by Nov. 3. foul-tasti- non-prof- space-availab- le Aid to Angolan rebels still up in air - SecreWASHINGTON (AP) tary of State James A. Baker III is switching back to Cold War-er- a language in an effort to defeat a House move to cut off U.S. aid to rebels in Angola. In a private memo he sent recently to House Minority Leader Robert Michel, Baker said ending aid to the Angolan rebels would derail peace negotiations "and would be a vote for more killing, more stalemate and more suffering." ist l., This is "the absolutely worst time" to halt the aid, Baker said. The United States has been providing covert aid to the UNITA rebels in the southwest African country since 1986, but congressional sentiment against continued assistance seems to be increasing. At stake is a reported $60 million for the rebels in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1. The issue could go to the House floor this week. Critics of administration policy contend that more aid to the rebels will only prolong a conflict that has lasted 15 years and caused immense human suffering. They also point out that well over half the 50,000 Cuban troops in Angola have gone home. The rest will be out in less than nine months. One amendment before the House would cut off all U.S. aid to UNITA unless President Bush declares that vital national security interests are at stake. Another would require an aid cutoff unless Bush certifies that the Soviet Union or third parties are continuing to send weapons to the leftist government in Luanda. U.S. aid also could be restored if Angola refused to continue peace negotiations with UNITA in good faith. Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos has said his government will halt all weapons imports if UNITA does the same. He also has said he is committed to instituting democratic system in a multi-part- y Angola. The Angola issue features a curious mixture of competition and cooperation. On one hand, Moscow and Washington have been arming opposite sides. On the other, Soviet and American representatives were present for the first time at the most recent negotiating session between Angolan officials and UNITA envoys. Four rounds of peace talks have been held in Lisbon and a fifth is scheduled there for later this month. Another anomaly is that the United States, although it does not Soviet-Americ- recognize the Angolan government, is that country's largest trading partner because of oil purchases. UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi was in Washington last week, making his case for continued U.S. aid. He agrees with the administration that U.S. aid has forced the Angolan government to the bargaining table and that a cutoff could put his goal of a cease-fir- e and free elections beyond reach. Baker concurs. In his memo to Michel, a copy of which was made available to The Associated Press, Baker said an aid suspension would undercut those in the Angolan government who want to negotiate and "strengthen the hand of hardliners the who want to continue bloodshed." Angola's United Nations ambassador, Manuel Pedro Pacavira, counters by saying that continued aid to UNITA can no longer be justified because of the toll of 15 years of warfare. "Our people have suffered enough," Pacavira has said. "More than 50,000 people are amputees, most of them women and children, and more than 800,000 civilians face starvation resulting from the combination of war and drought. This is the legacy of war, a legacy we can change now." |
