Police search for
Buckley’s body

BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) —
Police searched the Bekaa
Valley today for the body of
U.S. Embassy official William
Buckley, who the Islamic Jihad
terror group said it executed to
avenge Israel’s air raid on the
PLO headquarters in Tunisia.
U.S officials in Washington
and the U.S. Embassy in east
Beirut were still unable to
confirm the announcement of
Buckley’s death that appeared
in two leading Lebanese news-
papers Friday.
Buckley, 57, a native of
Medford, Mass., and the U.S.
Embassy’s chief political of-
ficer, was believed held in the
Bekaa Valley in eastern Leba-
non after he was kidnapped in
west Beirut March 16, 1984.
Police from the paramilitary
Internal Security Forces
searched the Bekaa after
journalists told authorities that
Buckley might be found there.
As of late Friday, there was no
word of Buckley’s fate. Five
other Americans held hostage
in Lebanon are believed in the
Bekaa.
In another development, di-
plomatic sources said more
Soviet citizens and officials are
expected to be evacuated from
Lebanon soon for fear of
attacks by Moslem extremists.
The Islamic Liberation Or-
ganization, a previously un-
heard-of group, took
responsibility for the kidnap-
ping of four Soviet officials on
Monday and the killing of one
of them Wednesday.
The Islamic Liberation Or-
ganization had said it would kill
the three remaining hostages
and destroy the Soviet
Embassy if the attack by pro-
Syrian militias on Moslem
fundamentalists in Tripoli con-
tinued. Syria is Moscow’s
closest Middle East ally.
A tenuous Syrian-sponsored
cease-fire agreement that
slowed fighting in Tripoli on
Friday and early today ap-
peared to have satisfied the
kidnappers’s demands.
On Friday, seven hours
before the group said it would
blow up the embassy, state-run
Beirut radio said most embassy
officials and their dependents
left the Soviet mission.
“About 135 members of the
Soviet Embassy, mainly women
and children but also including
many staff members, were
evacuated by road to Damas-
cus, from where they will fly
home to Moscow,” the radio
said.
Beirut’s pro-Syrian As Sharq
newspaper said three suspects
were arrested in the killing of
the Soviet and that officials
were confident the other Soviet
hostages would be freed soon.
Lebanese President Amin
Gemayel sent a letter to Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev
Friday, denouncing the abduc-
tions and the killing of the
Soviet hostage.
Gemayel also contacted the
U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon,
Reginald Bartholomew, to dis-
cuss the fate of Buckley.
The Islamic Jihad, Arabic for
Islamic Holy War, announced
the execution of Buckley in a
statement published Friday by
the authoritative Beirut news-
paper An Nahar.
In Washington Friday, Presi-
dent Reagan said the United
States was still unable to
confirm the Islamic Jihad’s
claim. “There’s no way to
confirm,” Reagan told repor-
ters. “Until we have something
definite, were not going to
comment."

Islamic Jihad did not specify
where Buckley’s body could be
found. In the statement pub-
lished by the newspaper, the
terror group said the killing

Cardinals blank Huskies
BY NELSON CARTER
It was definitely a long
night for the Huskies and Huskies
fans Friday night in Collinsville, as
the Cardinals whipped the Huskies-
by skunking them 24 to ZERO.
The Huskies and the Cardinals had
identical records of 1 end 3 going into
Friday’s game, now the Huskies are
1 and 4 and the Cardinals are 2 and 3.
The Huskies offensive line just
doesn’t seem to have it together,
they allow the defense to control the
line of scrimmage and to penetrate
the backfield, stopping any chance
of success.
The Huskies fans were euqally
lackluster. The cheerleaders worked
hard, trying to get the crowd into the
“Spirit” of the game, but en-
countered little response from the
crowd.
One Huskies fan felt the leader-
ship has broken down and the team
leaders are more worried about
their individual effort and NOT the
team effort.
The Huskies never threatened the
Cardinal goal line all night.
According to the scouts from
Cleveland at the game Friday said,
“The Huskies are an unimaginative
and mediocore team at best.” The
Huskies travel to Cleveland next
Friday night for the Tigers
homecoming.
The disappointing stats from
Fridays game are as follows:
First downs, Huskies 8, Cardinals,
8; Rushing the Huskies had 35 at-
tempts for 17 yards, Cardinals 35
attempts for 132 yards; Passing the
Huskies had 4 of 19 for 62 yards,
Cardinals6 of 13 for 104 yards; Total
offense Huskies had 79 yards,
Cardinals 236 yards; Turnovers
three each; Penalties - Huskies 6 for
54 yards and the Cardinals 11 for 107
yards.
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) -
The U.N. Security Council, with
the United States abstaining,
condemned Israel’s air raid on
the PLO headquarters in
Tunisia that killed at least 73
people.
The Security Council voted
14-0 Friday on a watered-down
resolution that refrained from
imposing sanctions or punitive
U.N. actions against Israel. The
resolution said only that Tu-
nisia had the “right
appropriate reparations.”
Eight American-made
to
F-15
fighter jets attacked the head-
quarters of the Palestine
Liberation Organization Tues-
day, killing at least 73 people
and injuring about 100. Israel
said the strike was to avenge
the PLO slaying of three
Israelis in Cyprus last week.
The U.S. Ambassador to the
United Nations, Vernon Wal-
ters, denied allegations by
Tunisia and the PLO that the
United States knew in advance
States of collusion in the raid.
“There has been a cascade of
accusations against my coun-
try,” Walters said. “I am
surprised nobody blamed us for
the earthquake in Mexico or the
one in Tokyo today."
In its initial response to the
attack, the Reagan administra-
tion described it as a legitimate
response to terrorism. A day
later, in the face of widespread
criticism of the raid, the
administration backed down
from its support.
Israeli Ambassador Benjamin
Netanyahu said the target of
his country’s “surgical attack”
was what he called the PLO
“extraterritorial base” near the
Tunisian capital.
He said the PLO directed
terrorist attacks against Israeli
civilians from the base and the
attack was not an intrusion on
the sovereignty of Tunisia.
“Whom are you trying to
defend here, distinguished
of the raid that Israel planned delegates,” Netanyahu
the attack.
The vote came at the end of
three days of debate featuring
numerous speakers, many of
them foreign ministers attend-
ing the 40th anniversary session
of the U.N. General Assembly.
Several accused the United

Senate opens rare
weekend session
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Senate opened a rare weekend
session today to discuss legis-
lation to balance the federal
budget by 1991 that supporters
want to tack on to a crucial bill
to raise the debt ceiling to $2
trillion.
Senate Republican leader
Robert Dole predicted the
balanced budget measure would
pass if he could break a
filibuster against it. He sche-

PARIS (UPI) — Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev, returning
to Moscow today, failed to
achieve a major goal of his
four-day state visit to Paris —

Mitterrand stressed, however,
that superpower nuclear arms

develop space-based weapons
capable of shooting down
incoming nuclear missiles.
talkathon for Sunday
The balanced budget legisla-
tion, by Sens. Philip Gramm,
R-Texas, Warren Rudman, R-
N.H., and Ernest Hollings, D-
S.C., was rolling along to
seemingly easy passage this
week and had the backing of
President Reagan.
But the filibuster was started
by a few Republicans who said
it would tip the balance of
power to the president, and
some Democrats, who could not
agree on an alternative strate-
gy and wanted more time to
study it.
Dole told reporters that
passing the debt ceiling and the
balanced budget amendment
were “about equally impor-
tant.”
