The government launched two attac ,ks Saturday on the hos pital but failed to free the hostages, and those inside said dozens were killed or wounded. The rebels freed more than 400 hostages, mostly women and children, over the weekend os talks continued with the govern ment. About 50 bodies of civilians killed during the sivdav drama were left behind in the hospital, local officials said Authorities said troops found and defused three mines in the hospital. ITAR-Tass said. During the negotiations. Chechen commander Shamil Basnyev had demanded "volun leers" to assure safe passage from the hospital "All hostages must be left in the hospital." Chernomyrdin told Hasayuv by telephone at one point "The volunteers — that is another story." According to Alexander Korobeinikov of the regional government, there were at least 73 Chechen rebels on the buses and 114 volunteers, including local officials, parliament mem bers. journalists and other civil ians News reports put the num ber of volunteers at about 150 "The term 'hostage' ceases to exist the moment you board the bus," said Vladimir Vorozhtsov, an Interior Ministry spokesman. "From then on, you are voluntarily accompanying the terrorists." Swiss oppose chocolate changes GLNcVA (API One of Switzerland'!! most famous national symbols chocolate is about to be Kurocratixed. and many Swiss don't have much appetite for it. New food regulations taking effect Saturday allow Swiss chocolate makers to add vegetable oils to the traditional cocoa butter, putting them in line with other Kuropean countries That incenses consumer groups, which fear the quality of Swiss i hocolate will decline They are circulating petitions demanding the government rethink its policy Manufai hirers, nervous about a public l»t kiash, have rushed to reassure chocoholii s that they won't tamper with the recipe of the beloved "Schoggt" - the Swiss German word for choco late At least in Switzerland, the companies say. although exports may bo another story The ISO-year-old Lindt company. Switzerland's largest independent prod liter, takes an even firmer line We aren't going to change anything We re staying with the old recipes.” said Irene Meien lierg. u Lindt executive. It earns big money for Swiss companies from tourists visiting the country and from rising sales around the world More than 51,000 tons of Swiss < hocolate wore exported last year, fetching the equivalent of $108 million The Swiss themselves class us the world's biggest < hocolate rnunchers. Per capita consump tion was about 2-1 pounds last year, ahead of the Austrians and Norwegians, at cording to figures from the industry organization, Chocosuis.se The chocolate shock stems from government attempts to overhaul its antiquated 1905 food laws and bring them into line with standards in Europe. The original idea was to revise the rules in prepration for joining the European Economic Area, a 19-nation free trade zone. But even after the Swiss voted against membership in December 1992. the government decided to press ahead on the assumption it would be better in the long run to have standards that conform to the rest of Europe.
