S. Yemen battle continues
By the Associated Press
President Ali Nasser Mohammed of South
Yemen was reported back in his small, embat
tled Arab nation on the Red Sea on Monday,
with his bloody struggle to overcome a rival,
hardline Marxist faction raging into its second
week.
British Foreign Office sources were
quoted as saying in London that Fighting had
died down in Aden, the capital, but that civil
war among rival Marxists and tribal factions
appeared to be spreading in the hinterland.
Associated Press reporter Khawla Mattar
quoted evacuees reaching Djibouti from Aden
as saying the situation in Aden was
“disastrous," with bodies and burned out
military vehicles lining the streets.
They said Aden, a city of 55.000 people,
was reduced to a “ghost town" — food stores
closed, no water supply or electricity,
hospitals caught in the cross fire, and the
stench of death everywhere.
Hardcore rebel leader Abdul-Fattah
Ismail, a former president of South Yemen, the
Arab world's only Marxist country, was
reported to be "still alive" and leading at
tempts to oust Mohammed.
Mohammed was reported to have returned
home Sunday night from a briqf visit to Addis
Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, which, Hie South
Yemen, is a key Soviet ally in the Red Sea
region.
Combat between Marxist factions in Somh
Yemen, a poor nation of 2 million people on
the Arabian Peninsula's southern tip. broke
out Jan. 13, apparently after a coup attempt by
hardliners opposed to Mohammed's reported
desire to liberalize the economy and improve
relations with pro-Western Arab countries.
The government said last week that four
coup plotters, including Ismail, had been ex
ecuted. but a rebel radio broadcast Monday
said all four were alive.
The radio, which has been saying South
Yemen was now under a "collective leader
ship," said it was Mohammed who tried to "li
quidate" the four men. as well as Defense
Minister Saleh Muslih.
Libyan students train for
possible suicide missions
TRIPOLI. Libya (AP) — All
Libyan high school students an?
required to undergo intensive
military training that includes
preparation for possible suicide
missions, including against the
White House, the military com
mander of a boys’ school said
Monday.
A group of Western reporters
was taken to Ali Awarith High
School in downtown Tripoli,
where they watched uniformed
students perform military drills
and firing exercises with four
Soviet-designed, BM-21 multi
ple rocket launchers.
One of the students was
Seifeddin Khadafy. the 13-year
old eldest son of Col. Moammar
Khadafy, the Libyan leader who
has warned that suicide squads
would strike in the United
States and Israel if the two ever
attack this country.
Seifeddln, whoso name
means "sword of the faith,"
seemed intimidated when
presented to the reporters and
made no comment.
The reporters were n u allow
ed to question the students in
dividually, but the demonstra
tion illustrated the increasing
militarization of Libyan society • “ r
under Khadafy's rule.
The school's military com
mander. MaJ. Saeed All
Awedat. told reporters that all ^ '• ./•]
Libyan secondary students —' feT‘
both girls and boys — undergo
two hours of military training a ^ "
week as a compulsory part of
their curriculum. The training
also includes one month during f':
each summer vacation!- .
Asked whether the students
also train for the suicide coin
mando missions that Khadafy
has threatened to launcfragainst
the United States and Israel,
Awedat replied: ’ . :!
"Yes. All Libyans are training
for suicide missions. 'We are all
ready to launch such opera
tions, even in the United 'States
and into the White Mouse itself
- "We are ready to to carry out
any order given by th,e leader."
He refused to discuss details
of the students’ suicide "com
mando training other thah to
say it was reserved -for older age
• groups. Most 'of the 2.000
students'at his. school, he said,
ranged in age from 15 to 48..
