4-A 'IIif UVII.YNIAV THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1994 Rwanda, Burundi lose leaders in plane crash Rwandan diplomats cry foul GALVESTON COUNTY, TEXAS The Associated Press 1 NAIROBI, Kenya The presidents of Rwanda and Burundi were killed Wednesday in a plane crash near the airport in Rwanda's capital. Rwandan diplomats charged the plane had been shot down. Presidents Juvenal Habyari- mana of Rwanda and Cyprian Ntayamira of Burundi had been in Tanzania for a meeting of east-central African leaders seeking ways to end ethnic violence in the two countries. Rwanda and Burundi have been wracked by bloodletting between the rival Hutu and Tut- si ethnic groups. The deaths of the presidents, both Hutus, were almost sure to inflame tensions in both countries.

Ntayamira's predecessor was assassinated in a failed military coup last October, setting off a series of bloodbaths in Burundi that has yet to end. The plane went down while approaching the airport in Kigali, capital of Rwanda, according to Chinmaya Ghare- khan, a special political adviser to U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. The French Embassy in Kigali confirmed both presidents were killed in the crash. Abouti 10 people were aboard and there were no survivors, the embassy said.

Witnesses heard heavy- weapons fire around the airport shortly before the crash. "What happened was not an accident but an Rwanda's U.N. ambassador, Jean Damascene Bizimana, told reporters at the United Nations. World Israel Bomb kills 8, injures 45 2 AFULA Yaacov Rahaniim gestured toward three children wrapped from head to foot in bandages, victims of a car bomb that killed eight people and injured 45 Wednesday in revenge for the Hebron massacre. "My feeling is that there will never be peace," Rahamim said as he visited his injured son Kadouri, 13, in the hospital.

Kadouri was burned on his forehead, shoulders and hands in the suicide attack, "All they know is how to kill children." The explosion occurred about 12:30 p.m. in the northern town of Afula near a city bus stop close to three high schools. Some classes had finished for the day at the schools. South Africa Mandela: No vote delay 3 DURBAN Nelson Mandela rejected any delay in elections in volatile Natal Province, saying Wednesday that the army can end mounting bloodshed in the three weeks before South Africa's first all-race vote. The ANC leader spoke to a national conference of African National Congress youth in the capital of Natal.

In the past five weeks, more than 400 people have been killed in the province, which includes the KwaZulu black homeland. The South African army sent in 700 soldiers Wednesday in an attempt to quell the violence, bringing the entire deployment to 1,900. The Associated Press Obituaries Maurice J. Hermessy ST.
