Former PLO terrorist
kills two senior aids
TUNIS, Tunisia? A turncoat
bodyguard assassinated PLO
leader Yasser Arafat's two senior
deputies and a security officer
Monday night at a house outside
Tunis, Palestinian officials said.
A senior Palestinian commander
in Tunis said the killer is a
former member of Abu Nidal's
terrorist PLO faction, sworn enemies
of Arafat. "We still don't
know who he's working for," the
commander said. "He may also
be working for the Israelis."
The assassin, armed with an
AK-47 assault rifle, took the hostages
after killing Salah Khalaf,
Arafat's second-in-command and
counterintelligence chief, sources
in Tunis said.
Khalaf, better known as Abu
Iyad, was the mastermind of the
Black September murders of 11
Israeli athletes at the Munich
Olympics in 1972. He cultivated
a moderate position in recent
years.

anti-independence demonstration.
There were no serious injuries.
The Interior Ministry troops
took over the academy in the
suburb of Agenskalns at 2 a.m.,
said Tia Karkils, a spokeswoman
for the Latvian parliament
The action came a day after
the commander of Soviet military
forces in the Baltics, Col. Gen.
Fyodor Kuzmin, ordered Latvian
Interior Ministry police to hand
over their weapons to central authorities.
Latvian police have
been loyal to the republic's proindependence
government.

"The best way to support our troops in
the gulf is to bring them back alive," Kaufman
said.
Rosati, a Government and International
Studies professor, spoke on whether war
would further American foreign policy goals.
Also addressing the subject was GENT
professor Betty Glad.
"This war could be much more worse for
us than Vietnam ever was," Glad said, citing
Saddam Hussein's sophisticated weaponry
as opposed to Vietnam's guerrilla
war tactics.

The United States typically assumes the
role of guarantor of world security, she
said, so for the Bush administration,
threatening war was almost a natural step.
"You threaten war to avoid war," she
said. But with aggressors, or "bullies," like
Hussein, logical reasoning doesn't always
work.
"Hussein's type value their honor and
place in history more than their lives," Glad
said. "Threats are most useful when you
draw lines before they make a move because
they don't have to back down or admit
they were wrong.
"In this situation, what you should do is
negotiate so there's some saving of face,"
she added. "What we're calling diplomacy

Rosati also felt the Bush administration's

"I have no doubt that Saddam Hussein
