"It's a good sign that the first in-country troops are here.

Ireland (AP) — Welcomed by many and i underlined by o fi>w, Prim # Charles set foot in Ireland on Wednesday, the most senior British roy al to make on offit ial visit to Dublin sine* l‘)l 1 I vc ,i!«,nv i' ‘idl'd for ward ni c om mg tu Ire land."

About 1,500 demonstrators beating drums and waving banners marched past Dublin Castle to demand an apology for the killings, which were a turning point in galvanizing Catholic support for the IRA. Forty-five people in funeral shrouds cur ried hint k flags representing those killed by the parachute regiment over the past 25 years, AVe see Prince Charles as representing the British occupation of six counties of our country," Kamon Larkin said “Unless he takes his troops and government out of Northern Ireland, he is not welcome " Sinn Fein, the IRA's political ally, said the prince should not he visiting Ireland now — because of the Bloody Sunday killings and because he backed efforts to reopen the case of a para trooper. Pvt. Lee Clegg, convti ted two years ago of killing a joyrider in Belfast Fintan O'Toole, writing in The Irish Times news paper, said Charles' visit will rouse great public interest but for the wrong reasons. "The political symbolism of his visit is over shadowed by its role as an episode in the greatest soap opera of our times," O'Toole wrote. Charles' separation from his wife Diana more than two years ago and his public confession to having an affair with a married woman have made him a figure of intense public curiosity. Britain’s Bosnian negotiator resigns lAJNIXJN (At) — Lord David Owan announced his rusigua tion Wednesday as the European Union's special nego tiator in Bosnia, and strongly warned against allowing U N forces there to lw dragged in as combatants. "1 do not believe that this humanitarian intervention can be extended through a fourth winter And if there is not a peace settlement by the autumn of this year, then the U N. forces will. I fear, lie faned to leave," Owen told the Mouse of Lords He plans to leave his post the end of June. lie ruefully recalled thinking, when he took the job in August l‘W2. that it would lie complet ed in six months More than 200,000 people have died or are missing since the fighting began in April 1992 Prime Minister John Major, who ordered more troops into Hosnia last weekend after Serbs took British U.N. soldiers as hostages, (ailed the House of Lords and the House of Commons back from recess for an emergency debate "I believe that the British gov ernment's decision to reinforce the U.N. can make an important contribution, but it should be made deer, without fixing exact deadlines, that this commit ment depends on political progress," Owen said, Owen, 56, said the American experience in Somalia in 1993 was a warning of tho danger of being (.aught up in a conflict. "Through three winters we have found that, while we have saved many lives, humanitarian supplies — whether food, win terization materials, or heating oil — have houn increasingly diverted to the war effort." he said. Owen said the sacrifice of British families who have lost a loved.one in Bosnia, or have had a relative injured, have bean justified “But I would not find such sacrifices easy to justify were we to become combatants, lose our impartiality, and cease to be part of a U N. humanitarian intervention." Owen said. NO MATTER MOW FAR YOU TRAVEL, YOU’RE ALWAYS CLOSE TO CAMPUS. o.d.s. oa tho world wldo wob: http://darkwiag.uorsgon.odu/~odo
