Georgian parliament
declares itself free
MOSCOW ? The Georgian
Parliament Tuesday declared the
republic's independence from the
Soviet Union, Tass said. The
move followed a referendum this
past month in which nearly 100
percent of Georgians demanded
, independence.
Fully 98 percent of Georgian
voters cast ballots on March 31
endorsing independence from the
Soviet Union. Soviet President
Mikhail S. Gorbachev called the
poll invalid, but he did not try to
stop it
However, the declaration was
? based on Georgia's independence
i resolution of May 26, 1918,
which granted Georgians living
in the former Russian Empire the
right of self-determination, the
official Soviet news agency
repeated.

CLERMONT-FERRAND,
France ? A Mirage jetfighter
crashed into a navy Lynx helicopter
during military maneuvers
in central France today, killing
all 10 Tv?r?nlf? ahnarH hrtth air
craft, French military officials
said.
The bodies of the Mirage's pilot
and navigator, both of whom
had ejected from the low-flying
plane, were found near the crash
site, the officials said. All eight
people aboard the helicopter also
were killed, they said.

Armed man robs
bank, takes hostages
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. ?
A man armed with a handgun
tried to rob a bank Tuesday, then
took several hostages inside and
held police at bay, authorities
said.
Police surrounded the NBD
Bank branch on the city's southeast
side shortly after 9 a.m. and
couldn't immediately learn how
many people were being held inside,
Lt. Ron Vierheilig said.
The robber held hostages for
nearly an hour before surrendering,
police said. No one was
hurt.
Disabled man, wife
commit dual suicide
MYRTLE BEACH ? A Garden
City couple chose to end
their lives together while holding
hands, explaining in a letter that
they could not live without each
other.
The Garden City couple were
found Sunday in their car in the
Surfside Beach area. They died
from carbon monoxide poisoning.
They were holding hands
when they died.
The husband was striken with
cancer and was disabled. Police
believe his wife ran a hose from
the tail pipe of the car through
the trunk into the inside of the
car. Because of this, the coroner
has listed the cause of death for
the husband to be homicide. His
wife's cause of death will be
listed as suicide.
Inside the car, police found a
clipboard with information about
funeral arrangements the couple
had made a month ago, telephone
numbers of their two sons, in
New York and California, and
the three letters.
