Gorbachev today said a local military commander decided to use deadly force in Lithuania and that he learned about the assault on the republic's main broadcast facility after it occurred. Gorbachev also told reporters in Moscow that a group of what he called "workers and intellectuals" has asked the military commander in Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital, to "give us protection." He appeared to be referring to opponents of Lithuanian independence who have formed a self-declared National Salvation Committee. "The manner of defense was decided by the commandant," Gorbachev said during a break at the Supreme Soviet legislature.

"He reported to a deputy commander of the military district I learned only in the morning, the early morning, when they got me up. When it happened, no one knew." Sunday's attack claimed 14 lives and provoked harsh condemnation from the United States and the European Community. Earlier today, Soviet Defense Minister Dmitri Yazov and Interior Minister Boris Pugo said the assault early Sunday was requested by the National Salvation Committee. In remarks to the Supreme Soviet national legislature, neither Pugo nor Yazov explained how the shadowy committee had the authority to order army tanks and troops into action.

Perez de Cuellar's 2 -hour meeting with Saddam in Baghdad on Sunday had been considered the last best chance to avoid an attack on Iraqi forces by the U.S.-led multinational force deployed in the gulf region.

President Bush on Sunday called Iraq's apparent intention to keep troops in Kuwait beyond the Tuesday midnight EST withdrawal deadline "a tremendous mistake." In Baghdad, Saddam said any "last-minute initiatives" for peace were up to the United States. Across the world, prayers and antiwar protests grew more passionate. In the nations that line the gulf, residents stocked up on provisions and sealed windows and doors to protect against poison gas attacks. Some people sought gas masks, others hunted for a flight out.
