From Associated Prats report*
British control
Falklands channel
FALKLAND ISLANDS
Britain was reported in con
trol of the waterway separating
the main Falkland Islands on
Tuesday after one of its war
ships fired on an Argentine ves
sel in the channel
Argentina had no immediate
comment, but threatened to at
tack any British ship or plane
heading to the South Atlantic
archipelago
Britain claimed it had a "tight
grip" around the Falkland Is
lands, and Press Association,
Britain's domestic news
agency, said the British armada
has gained control of the five
mile-wide Falkland Sound
dividing East and West Falkland
and isolated the Argentine gar
risons on the two islands
The agency quoted informed
British government sources as
saying that British frigates and
destroyers are now making
regular patrols along the water
way to prevent Argentine sup
plies from being ferried by land
or sea to the garrisons.
The British Defense Ministry
said: "This morning one of our
ships in the darkness detected
the presence of a vessel within
the Total Exclusion Zone. They
fired on it. We have no absolute
evidence the vessel was hit or
sunk. All I can say is we have
reports of a large explosion
“The incident and its location
show how tight our grip is on the
Falkland islands.”
Reports by British correspon
dents with the armada identified
the frigate as the Alacrity. In
dispatches submitted to British
censorship, the correspondents
said the frigate spotted an Ar
gentine supply ship on radar

There was no confirmation
from the Argentines, who
reported no new military action
around the Falklands.
But the junta in Buenos Aires
said because the British had
imposed a 200-mile total war
zone around the islands April 30
and extended it to within 12
miles of the Argentine coast on
Friday, that Argentina was re
taliating with its own broadened
war zone.
It said that any British ship or
aircraft headed toward the
Falkland Islands from anywhere
in the South Atlantic will be
considered hostile The three
man junta issued a commun
ique describing the move as
“self-defense" in view of Bri
tain's “persistent aggressive at
titude "
The communique did not set
down specific boundaries
Meanwhile an Argentine For
eign Ministry official said there
had been "a change of attitude,
but not of basic position" on the
issue of sovereignty over the
Falklands
The official, who asked not to
be identified, said Argentina
wanted to demonstrate it was
not intransigent on sovereignty,
which has been the stumbling
block in diplomatic efforts
"Full (British) recognition of
our sovereignty is not absolutely
necessary," said the official.
"But at the end of any negotia
tions, we must be exercising
sovereignty "
British officials at the United
Nations were not mollified by
the statement, and U N Secre
tary General Javier Perez de
Cuellar said negotiations will
take a few more days before
anything concrete emerges
Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher told the House of
Commons in London, "the fact
we are negotiating does not
close off any military options at
all " Her statement indicated
Britain may go ahead with a
widely predicted assault on the
Falklands, seized by Argentine
forces April 2.
In London, the luxury liner
Queen Elizabeth II was
scheduled to sail for the Falk
lands today, carrying 3,000
troops of the 5th Infantry
Brigade, Britain's Rapid De
ployment Force
The brigade, comprised of
elements of the Welsch Guards,
Scots Guards and Nepalese
Gurkhas, is expected to be used
as a garrisoh force on the Falk
lands should Britain recapture
them
