NEWS REPORT
1) World news roundup
IRAQ DENIES EXISTENCE OF DOCUMENTS REQUESTED BY UN
Iraq has refused to relinquish disarmament documents requested by Stephen
Butler, United Nations Special Commission leader. Iraqi officials stated
that they have already turned over 2 million pages of documents and have no
more documents to release. Iraqi officials claim that the latest document
requests are intended to portray the country as non compliant and perhaps
serve to justify an attack. Butler rejected UN air strikes as a potential
response to this most recent lack of cooperation.
VIOLENCE IN INDONESIA KILLS SIX
Six people died yesterday in Indonesia as a result of religiously-motivated
violence. In all, as many as seventeen people have died since riots started
last week. The rioters, mostly rock-throwing mobs of youths, attacked
eleven Christian churches and vandalized stores and schools. Rioters were
restrained with tear gas and bullets.
IN OTHER NEWS…
The FBI’s 1997 crime statistics, released yesterday, show the lowest
national homicide rates in 30 years… America Online, allegedly
negotiating a takeover of Netscape, has still not released any official
statement… Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails have started a hunger
strike to protest Israel’s refusal to release them… Six North Carolina
State students, including five athletes, were arrested yesterday in
relation to the early morning death of another student.
