Page 2-The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, January 15, 1991 Last-ditch attempts for peace flounder Associated Press U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar said today he lost hope for peace in the Persian Gulf after talks with Saddam Hussein, and Iraq's lawmakers pledged to support Saddam with their blood. "Unfortunately, I don't see any more reasons to be optimistic. I don't see any reason to have real hope," he said today after meeting with President Francois Mitterrand in Paris. The meeting with Saddam in Baghdad on Sunday had been con- sidered the last best chance to avoid an attack on Iraqi forces by the multinational force assembled after Iraq seized Kuwaiton Aug. 2. President Bush on Sunday called Iraq's apparent intention to keep troops in Kuwait beyond the Tues- day midnight withdrawal deadline "a tremendous mistake." Fearing an Iraqi attack, Israel to- day called up more reserves and the United Nations ordered the depen- dents of its staff members to leave the Jewish state. In Baghdad, members of Iraq's National Assembly shouted that they were willing to back Saddam "with our blood, our souls, we are ready to sacrifice for Saddam." At the Iraqi president's urging, the leg- islature voted in August to absorb Kuwait and last month approved the release of all foreign hostages. The assembly has voted to give Saddam full authority over the gulf crisis. Assembly speaker Saadi Mehdi Saleh called Saddam "the knight of the Arab nation" and said the nation was behind him in his showdown with "U.S. imperialism, Zionism and Arab stooges."

The gunner was demanding a plane to fly him our of Tunis after killing Salah Khalaf, Arafat's sec- ond-in-command; Hayel Abdel- Hamid, the PLO's security chief; and Abu Mohammed Al-Omari, Khalaf's bodyguard, said several sources reached in Tunis by telephone. The senior Palestinian official said Abdel-Hamid's wife and teenage daughter were being held by the gunner, who he identified only as "Hamza," inside their house in the Tunis suburb of Marsa where the shooting occurred. The house was surrounded by Tunisian security forces and Palestinian guerrillas five hours after the shootings occurred at 11 p.m., the commander said. Khalaf, considered the PLO's No. 2 leader, was better known by his nom de guerre of Abu Iyad. The death of Khalaf left Arafat as the only survivor among the three original founders of Fatah, the origi- nal PLO group and its largest fac- tion. The other founder, Khalil Al- Wazir, was assassinated by comman- dos on April 16, 1988, also in Tunisia. Arafat was on his way from Amman to Paris for talks on the gulf crisis when the shooting oc- curred, but cancelled his visit n light of the assassinations, Daniel Bernard, a French Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said at a Paris brief- ing. Arafat had planned to promote a French-Palestinian initiative in which Iraq would pull its troops out of Kuwait in exchange for promises: of a future Mideast conference on the Palestinian situation in the Israeli- occupied territories, an aide said. Arafat had flown into Amman earlier yesterday from Baghdad. One of the sources in Tunis, a senior officer of Fatah, said: "Investigation is under way" to de- termine who was behind the assassi- nation, "but all indications so far are that Israeli agents were behind it." "They killed them the same way they killed Abu Jihad," he said, refer- ring to Wazir by his nom de guerre. Israeli sources said the Mossad intelligence service and the Israeli navy assassinated Wazir in 1988, be-" cause of his role in organizing Pales- tinian rioting against Israeli occupa- tion of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. r y, i l 4 ro y t,=. f yiar . i - Nib Your Summer Job more than just employmen-t.- w - .L-- Working with children in the outdoors. 2 MEETING Continued from page 1 student Jeff Miller said, "I think to say that people should not defend themselves in the face of attack is not only wrong - it is criminal. I think we should say that people have the right to defend them- selves against cops." SAUSI members said the group wants to create an atmo- sphere conducive to student partic- ipation and avoid splintering into factions. As the war develops, public awareness is expected to in- crease, resulting in more radical action. The coalition voted down a Revolutionary Workers League (RWL) proposal to occupy Uni- versity buildings and boycott classes indefinitely because it was deemed inappropriate without time to organize. RWL members said they, may still resort to violence. "If we have to stop a war, violence might have to be used," said RWL member and Wayne State sophomore Anya Wisloki. SAUSI will send delegations to two national demonstrations to support the anti-war movement. In order to not conflict with Martin Luther King Day, SAUSI voted to attend a national march for peace Jan. 26, instead of Jan. 19. The later date allowed SAUSI time to organize and plan the march. Political factors may be a rea- son why the New York-based Na- tional Campaign for Peace in the Middle East is endorsing the Jan. 26 march. The rally on the 19th is thought to be more revolutionary than the mainstream anti-war march Jan. 26. The political differences are not said to be reflected locally. "The difference between the 19th (march) is a difference on the na- tional level. Our group's position is that we support both protests," said Rackham graduate student and SAUSI member Tom Abowd. r "* , ' E ,u r ±, , . ,+ t .' . -.:. { ti -. + b;. kr.
