INTERNATIONAL
United Nations prepares to tighten sanctions
By The Associated Press
World leaders opened a U.N.
General Assembly session Mon
day by condemning Iraq as a
warlike state for its invasion of
Kuwait, as Iraqi President Sad
dam Hussein vowed to fight for
"a thousand years" to keep the
oil-rich emirate.
While the world body pre
pared to tighten sanctions on
Iraq, the economic repercus
sions of the Persian Gulf crisis
spread and strengthened.
Oil prices closed at a record
$38.25 on the New York Mer
cantile Exchange, where nil fu
tures have been traded since
1983. Gasoline and home heat
ing oil both topped $1 a gallon.
The International Monetary
Fund, meanwhile, moved to
help poor countries whose
economies are being devastated
by the conflict.
The stock market in New
York fell to a 14-month low
Monday, battered by rising oil
prices and trouble in the bank
ing industry. The Dow Jones
industrial average tumbled
59.41 points to 2.452.97.
French President Francois
Mitterrand delivered the first of
a series of condemnations of
Iraq, warning that Iraq’s aggres
sion could lead to global anar
chy.
Leaders from Brazil. Argenti
na. Poland and Indonesia
joined the chorus of condemna
tion that opened the 45th ses
sion of the General Assembly,
while the Iraqi U N. ambassa
dor watched in silence. The
speakers set the stage for a Se
curity Council vote Tuesday on
extending sanctions against
Iraq to include an air embargo.
Soviet Foreign Minister Ed
uard Shevardnadze speaks
Tuesday, and President Hush is
to address the 160-member as
sembly next Monday.
Hush said in Washington on
Monday "I'm not going to be
distracted" by Saddam’s efforts
to link the crisis with the Israe
li - Pa lest i n ia n d is pu to
"First we've got to take care
of the situation that exists right
now, naked aggression of one
country against the other. That
cannot be permitted to stand."
Bush told a group of Arab
American leaders in Washing
ton.
Saddam has suggested one
way to ease the crisis would be
for Israel to leave the Arab terri
tories it has occupied since
1967.
Iraq’s foreign minister. Tariq
Aziz, was to address the United
Nations the same day as Bush,
but he has insisted on traveling
to New York aboard Iraq's flag
carrier. Iraqi Airways. The
United States has not approved
landing rights.
In Washington, the State De
partment said Aziz had U.S.
permission to attend the U.N.
session. But it was not clear
what was meant by the U.S de
cision. reported by department
spokeswoman V. Kim Haggard,
to allow Aziz to come to the
United States "commercially.”
Iraq said Monday it had re
buffed an offer from the United
States to allow the plane to
land — if Baghdad releases
more than 1,000 Americans be
ing held in Iraq and Kuwait
since Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion.
"Iraq categorically rejects
any link between this issue and
any other issue,” said the offi
cial Iraqi News Agency, moni
tored in Cyprus.
State Department officials
said they had no knowledge of
such a claim by Iraq
Aziz was not on hand as Mit
terrand assailed the Baghdad
government and said the inter
national community would not
retreat from its demand that
Iraq Hive up Kuwait.
"How could wo not bo dis
gusted by the taking of thou
sands of hostages?" Mitterrand
asked, referring to the 2(H)
French citizens and other West
erners being held in Iraq and
Kuwait.
France, a former friend and
arms merchant to Iraq, sent
4.(MM) troops to the gulf region
after Iraqi soldiers raided the
French ambassador's residence
in Kuwait on Sept. 14. About a
dozen foreign missions in the
emirate are still resisting a
month-old Iraqi order to close
down.
Iraq on Sunday offered a be
lated apology for the raid. It
was spurned by France.
"Excuses are fine," Interior
Minister Pierre Joxe said on
French radio, "but we're wait
inR for Iraq to let captive
Frenchmen leave in a normal
manner "
At the United Nations. Mit
terrand pointed to the dangers
posed by the "expansionist de
termination of one man. of one
warlike state
"In order to prevent this an
archy and theory of might
makes right I can't find any
other answer than the rule of
law, of right." he said
The U N Security Council is
expected to vote Tuesday on
what would tie the strictest res
olution yet against Iraq It
would block all air traffic in
and out of Iraq except for
planes carrying humanitarian
aid.
Iraq warned Sunday it might
target Israel and the oil fields of
the Mideast if it is "strangled”
by the sanctions and other
steps against it. Israel said
Monday it took the threat seri
ously. and warned Saddam not
to underestimate its readiness
to react.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Sha
mir said Israelis were ready to
“confront, prevent and ... de
fend ourselves" against Iraq.
Saddam. meanwhile. ac
cused the United States of be
ing the aggressor in the gulf
crisis.
"America poses a threat to
mankind, emerging as a new
tyranny in the world." the offi
cial Iraqi News Agency quoted
him as telling a group of Is
lamic theologians. Saddam also
insisted his armies would never
pull track.
Illegal food convoy to Baghdad
cheered on by Jordanian crowd
AMMAN. Jordan (AP) - A
convoy of (rucks loaded with
food rolled out of Amman on
Monday bound for Baghdad
with horns honking, flags
flying and hundreds of Jorda
nians cheering the violation
of the U.N. embargo.
The 30 trucks, hauling
rice, powdered milk and oth
er foodstuffs rationed in Iraq,
were decorated with red.
green and black Jordanian
and Iraqi flags. Banners de
clared the food a gift "from
the Stone Children, the Heros
of the Intifadeh in Palestine
to the Children of Iraq."
The convoy was a small
but clear violation of the
U.N. embargo banning ship
meats to Iraq unions cleared
by the Security Council, anti
a symbol of the enthusiastic
support Iraq enjoys here.
Many in the crowd were of
Palestinian origin — like
about half of Iordan's :t mil
lion residents — and had do
nated food and money and
brought their children to the
late afternoon rally.
Posters showing Iraqi Pres
ident Saddam Hussein !>eiug
kissed by a brown-haired buy
while hugging a wide-eyed
girl were among the dozens
of pro-Saddam, anti-Ameri
can signs, banners and leaf
lets in the crowd
"We are for any Arab child
and any Arab regime which
is against the Americans.
We're with him because he's
against the United States,
that's all." said Mona Hilar,
who brought her five daugh
ters to the rally.
"1 am teaching my chil
dren that Arabs should tie
unified." she added.
Outspoken popular sup
port for Saddam in Jordan
whose King Hussein has
been a U.S. ally — has mysti
fied and infuriated the Unit
ed States. But here, across
the Jordan Kiver from the
West Hank, it seems perfectly
logical.
