U N. icks Iraq insp _: NATION/WORLD The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 27, 2000 - 9A Former International Atomic Energy Agency official named UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Hans Blix, former director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is now the leading candi- date to head a new U.N. .weapons inspection. agency for Iraq, 4iplo- mats said Tuesday. Blix, a 71-year-old Swede, ,merged as a compromise candi- date after several members of the U.N. Security Council - including Russia, China and France -- objected to the nomination of Rolf Ekeus, a fellow Swedish diplomat who had been the first choice of U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan. Ekeus, now serving as Sweden's nbassador . in -Washington, was strongly backed by the United States because of his experience as the first chair of the earlier U.N. weapons inspection agency, known as UNSCOM. But France, China and Russia argued that "new blood" was needed for the new agency, called the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, or UNMOVIC. . According to diplomats here, France first proposed Blix last week, and the United States, Britain and Russia agreed to support him as a consensus candidate. China has yet to respond but is not expected to stand alone. "I guess we have a deal," said a senior Western - diplomat. "The United States has said it will agree if everybody else agrees." Sources said, however, that Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. ambas- sador to the United Nations, was awaiting a formal reaction from China before informing Annan that the Security Council's key members have agreed on a candidate, Diplomats also cautioned that Blix, who retired from the IAEA two years ago and is now touring Antarctica. has not formally accept- ed the job. They said he was contact- ed while vacationing in Argentina last week by France and Sweden to ask whether he would consider the post. "He was obviously reluctant," said one diplomat. "But he said that if he was the only solution to achieving consensus in the council, he would be available." Unidentified Cuban military students wave flags during a rally at a Havana military school Tuesday as they listen to speeches and songs calling for the return of 6-year-old Elian Gonzalez to his father in Cuba. GrandmothersB see 6-year-od Cub anboy- The Washingon Post MINAS HUANTAJAYA, Chile - In a country where powerful interests sup- port Augusto Pinochet, going after the military patriarch has not been easy. Since August when Judge Juan Guzman lodged a high-profile indict- ment of retired Gen. Arellano Stark, one of the cruelest characters of Pinochet's rule, human rights attorneys who presented the cases befgre Guzman have been under police pro- tection. Death threats have been com- mon. Guzman, who also is under 24-hour guard, has long mingled in circles in which Pinochet is revered. He has come under a more subtle form of pres- sure. When Stark for nstance, first caught wind of the investigation, he appealed to Guzman's friends and fam- ilv for as:i t n e. Guzman. who under Chile's legal system acts as judge and prosecutor in 57 criminal suits filed against Pinochet, issued the indictment anyway. Like Stark, Pinochet, if indicted, would be charged with "perpetual kid- napping" - a legal creation of Guzman's. More than 1,000 dissidents are still unaccounted for. and Guzman has argued successfully that they could still be, aliveand(thatteir cases should be treated as kidnappings --something not covered by Chile's broad laws granting amnesty to Pinochet-era offi- cials. At an abandoned mine recently, a cage lowering Guzman reached an earthen shelf where diggers were still excavating. A former miner had passed along a tip that soldiers had tossed "something" into the shaft and set 9ff explosives to cover it up in the final days of the dictatorship in the late 1980s. Diggers making their way through heaps of rotting trash had found evi- dence of an unusual explosion, but after eight days of labor they still have two yards to go before reaching the site w 'here any remains might be found. "We've got to try, because recover- ing the bodies restores part of the dam- age that was done," Guzman said. "When we returned past remains to families, some of them kissed the skulls. They had found peace." discuss drug .A Los Angeles Times TRES ESQUINAS, Colombia - is base in the lush South American ngle is ground zero in President Clinton's emergency proposal to help fund a massive expansion of Colombia's anti-narcotics operation. "This is an island in a sea of guerril- las and narco-traffickers," U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jan Ithier said as he toured the base - where U.S. special forces troops train and monitor the perfor- mance of Colombian soldiers - with an American delegation last week. U.S. and Colombian authorities are 'ow engaged in an elaborate round of salesmanship trying to sell the S1.6 bil- lion aid package Clinton announced last month to skeptics in both Washington and Bogota who charge that heaps of new money and old air- craft will do little to ease an intractable problem. Moreover, some fear that despite the United States' insistence that its sol- diers aren't "advising" the Colombians, only training therm, Washington may get sucked into another nation's civil war. Billed as a way to reduce the drug pro- duction of a country that supplies 80 per- cent of the world's cocaine, the aid pack- age may turn out to be merely "a smoke screen" for fueling Colombia's 40-year battle against lefst guerrillas, said Winifred Tate, a Colombian specialist at the Washington Offtice on Latin America, a nonprofit research group. "This isn't good drug policy, and it isn't good human rights policy. I think this is going to make everything much worse," she said. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP)- Elian Gonzalez and his grandmothers arrived yesterday at a "neutral site" for a reunion that had to be arranged by the U.S. government because of the per- sonal and political passions swirling around the 6-year-old Cuban boy. Elian was driven to a nun's house in Miami Beach to see his grandmothers, who had flown in from Wangton and were then brought to the home in a helicopter. The grandmothers came to the United States last week to appeal direct- ly to the American people and Congress to send the boy back to his father in Cuba. Elian's relatives in Miami want him to stay and are fighting a U.S. gov- ernment order sending him back. The grandmothers were to see Elian privately, with the boy's Florida rela- tives nearby in the house. Justice Department spokesperson Carole Florman said the women would not be allowed to take the boy home with them afterward. A lawyer for Elian's relatives, Spencer Eig, said the visit was expected to last two hours. A few people tossed flowers at the car that took the women from the helicopter to the house. Some demonstrators out- side the home cheered and others booed as the grandmothers were driven by. The grandmothers had also flown to Miami on Monday but left town with- out seeing Elian They said they were uncomfortable going to the house in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood where the relatives have been caring for the boy. Anti-Castro Cuban immi- grants have been holding protests around the home. Mariela Quintana and Raquel Rodriguez had not seen their grandson since before he left Cuba for the United States with his mother, who died along with 10 other people when their boat capsized. Elian was found clinging to an inner tube off the Florida coast on Nov. 25. The reunion was being held at the home of Sister Jeanne O'Laughlin, president of Barry University. It's our right o see our grandson an take him back home." - Mariela Quintana Elian Gonzalez's paternal grandmother O'Laughlin, has a history of helping immigrants and had said she would serve as "welcomer" and "hugger." On Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott indicated he has no solid plans for handling legislation next week to give Elian U.S. citizenship, which would remove the boy from the jurisdiction of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the agency that ordered him back to Cuba. "There are a lot of extenuating cir- cumstances," Lott said. "Obviously it could come up next week. But there are a lot of people looking at this issue and there may be developments between now and then." The two grandmothers met with sev- eral members of Congress this week and asked them not to pass such a bill. "It's our right to see our grandson and take him back home," said Quintana, the child's paternal grandmother. i FITNESS INSTRUCTORS "Kickboxing (tae bo style) 'Aerobic.
