Soviets drop
liquid fire'
LONDON — Soviet planes are
dropping “liquid fire" bombs
on Moslem guerrillas in
Afghanistan and powerful fuel
air explosives that kill anyone
within a quarter-mile radius
with shock waves, Jane's
Defense Weekly reported
Wednesday.
The magazine, issued by the
authoritative Jane's Publica
tions, said the Soviets have been
using the weapons since last
summer in eastern Afghanistan
in a major battlefield testing
program.
The ''fuel-air explosive''
l bombs detonate while in the air,
releasing a volatile chemical
cloud about 15 yards in
diameter. That, in turn, is
detonated by a second charge,
causing lethal shock waves.
Similar weapons have been in
U.S. stockpiles for years.
Jane's said the "liquid fire"
bombs split in the air, shower
ing a black, tar-like substance
that can lie on the ground for
months. But when stepped on,
the blobs burst into flames,
emitting "sickening fumes,"
and cannot be extinguished un
til the blobs burn out.
"Trucks which have driven
over the droplets have burned
out completely as a result," said
the report, written by Yossef
Bodansky, identified by Jane's
as a consultant to the U.S.
Defense and State Departments.
Bodansky did not identify his
sources.
Jane's Defense Weekly is a
specialized magazine covering
military affairs. It is published
by Jane's, which produces 14
yearbooks on military equip
ment and hardware, including
"Jane's All the World's Aircraft"
and "Jane's Fighting Ships."
The weekly said the Soviets
have used the "liquid fire"
weapons to "effectively block
axes of transportation for
vehicles for long periods."
The droplets can easily be
spotted on Afghanistan's dirt
roads, Bodansky wrote, but he
added, "In developed coun
tries, such as Western Europe,
the black droplets would be in
visible against asphalt and pav
ed roads or runways."
The Soviets are engaged in a
major offensive against Afghan
rebels in the Panjsher Valley
north of Kabul and elsewhere in
the country.
Lover says
he saw pistol
EUGENE — A former lover of
Elizabeth Diane Downs testified
Wednesday that he saw Downs'
.22-caliber pistol the night
before she left Arizona for
Oregon.
Robert Knickerbocker said he
noticed the pistol in the trunk of
her car as he helped her load
the vehicle April 1, 1983.
Knickerbocker said Downs of
fered to loan him the pistol
several days earlier because her
former husband had threatened
him. Knickerbocker said he
declined her offer.
The prosecution contends
Downs shot her children so she
could be free to join
Knickerbocker.
"The last time I saw the pistol
was the night before she left,"
Knickerbocker said.
Downs, 28, is charged with
murder, attempted murder and
assault in the shooting of her
three children May 19, 1983.
Prosecutors say the children
were shot with a .22-caliber
Ruger semiautomatic pistol.
Authorities say the weapon has
not been found.
Knickerbocker said Downs
called him almost every day
after she arrived in Oregon and
wrote to him often.
He began to refuse the
telephone calls and returned
her letters unopened because
he was getting back with his
wife, Knickerbocker said
Wednesday.
Knickerbocker testified that
Downs called him the day after
the shooting, telling him about
the attack. He said Downs did
not sound upset.
Weapons test
voted down
WASHINGTON — The House
voted 238-181 Wednesday night
to prohibit the testing of a U.S.
anti-satellite weapon against an
object in space so long as the
Soviet Union continues its
voluntary moratorium against
such tests.
The move, engineered by
Reps. George Brown, D-Calit.,
and Lawrence Coughlin, R-Pa.,
represents a sharp rebuke to
President Reagan. The president
declared more than a month
ago that the United States
should continue to develop
satellite killers because verifica
tion obstacles make a com
prehensive arms control pact
with the Soviets virtually
impossible.
Also, the House, with over
whelming support from
Republicans and Democrats
alike, voted to bar the introduc
tion of U.S. military forces "into
or over El Salvador or Nicaragua
for combat."
Reagan told a news con
ference Tuesday night he could
envision no situation in which
American troops would in
tervene in Central America.
But Rep. Mel Levine, D-Calif.,
said "some of us have very deep
concerns, in fact some real
fears, that this administration in
1985 might reconsider its stated
position."
Efforts at similar legislation
have been turned aside in the
Republican Senate.
