THE WINDSOR STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1994 D6 400 confirmed kffled by typhoon in China BEU1NG (Reuter) A typhoon pounded eastern China during the weekend, killing more than 400 people and causing severe damage, a provincial official said today. There is no way of calculating how many people are still missing, the official said by telephone from Zhejiang province. He said the number of deaths from Typhoon Fred exceeded 400, but he could not give an exact figure. Officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said the minister and other senior officials had gone to investigate the situation and coordinate relief efforts. Official press reports said more than eight million people had been affected by the flooding, which destroyed 500,000 homes.

The typhoon which also killed at least three people in Taiwan last week has severely disrupted farming, mining and transport, official reports said. They said total economic losses could top $1 billion Cdn. The official Xinhua news agency said heavy rains lashed most of the province for 43 consecutive hours. Rainfall was more than 20 cm in some areas, with flooding as deep as a metre.

President-elect Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de Leon, of the ruling Institutional Rev-olutionary Party, I urged the opposition parties to meet with PRI representatives to resolve differences. But the Democratic Revolutionaiy Party called for a 24-hour strike, although it did not ZEDILLO set a date for the action. THIS ELECTION is a provocation against civility and peace in Mexico," PRD leader Cuauhtemoc Cardenas told a rally of about 30,000 supporters, who shouted Death to PRI and Strike, Strike, throughout his speech in the capitals central square. observers, reserved judgment.

The group detailed a series of irregularities, including; about 29 per cent of monitored polling stations turned away voters with legitimate ID cards because they were not included in the voting register, a practice called shaving opposition supporters; about 20 per cent of stations permitted individuals who were not on the list to vote; and about nine per cent of stations were not equipped with indelible ink, therefore permitting voters to cast ballots at more than one polling station. Although Civic Alliance said it was still trying to determine how many voters were effected, chief organizer Sergio Aguayo said the election was still in question. Nobody can proclaim victory or defeat while suspicion and incredulity are justified by the set of irregularities seen in the election, he said. The federal electoral institute said final results would not be known until Wfednesday and gave no indication how Mexicans had voted in Senate and lower house races. Though he said he could not claim victoiy, he charged that at least eight million Mexicans were disenfranchised during the elections and refused to accept defeat.

Fraud doesnt mean defeat; fraud means fraud and this has been a fraud against the true political will of Mexico, Cardenas charged. But he held off calling for a campaign of civil disobedience, as his supporters repeatedly urged him, until more is known about the magnitude of the voting irregularities. He announced a second mass rally for Saturday, during which he will announce his partys strategy. Meanwhile, in strife-tom state of Chiapas, site of a Mayan uprising in January, the situation was tense after Sundays only known incident of violence, when about 600 stormed a government building and broke some windows. The mob was dispersed by tear gas.

We are all waiting to see what sub-commandante Marcos (the masked Mayan leader) will do, said Jesus Ramirez, who worked for the opposition in the gubernatorial campaign. With one-third of the 96,000 polling stations reporting, Zedillo had 48 per cent of the vote, compared to 30 per cent for the right-wing National Action Party of Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, while Cardenas trailed with 16 per cent. The other five opposition parties split the rest. DECLARING IT A victory for PRI and Mexican democracy, Zedillo discounted charges of fraud and declared the vote exemplary. But while he accepted defeat, Fernandez de Cevallos also complained of fraud.

Once again we have witnessed with pain and embarrassment the multimil-lion-dollar overspending (of PRI), and once again we have witnessed its humiliating influence with threats and pressure, he said. But the question on eveiyones mind Monday was whether the irregularities were sufficient to have made a difference in the result. Former Canadian prime minister Joe Clark said he had been impressed with the voting, but added it was too early to judge how extensive and how numerous the irregularities were. Civic Alliance, Mexicos largest citizens monitoring group with 11,000 PARIS (AP) The case of Carlos the Jackal is becoming increasingly bizarre, with accusations of assassination plots, stockpiled weapons and collaboration with spy agencies on both sides of the Cold War all surrounding his lawyer. Carlos, whose arrest was announced with great flourish by France a week ago, is fast being eclipsed by his lawyer, Jacques Verges, a perennial gadfly.

The circus atmosphere intensified Monday with accusations that Verges stockpiled rockets used in a 1982 attack on a nuclear power plant in southeastern France and collaborated with the CIA. Verges countered with his own accusation that President Francois Mitterrand personally ordered him assassinated in the early 1980s. Vergess allegation came a day after a former senior police official said Mitterrand was aware of plans to kill the outspoken lawyer, who delights in controversial and sometimes hopeless cases that could embarrass the government. His more notorious clients have included convicted Nazi Gestapo chief Klaus Barbie, Nazi collaborator Paul Touvier and two accomplices of Carloss. Verges claimed last week that the trigger-man was to have been Paul Barril, a former head of the elite Intervention Group of the National Gendarmerie, who said Sunday that Verges had been a priority target for assassination and that Mitterrand was aware of it.

Now running his own security firm, Barril pops up in the news occasionally, most notably when he was accused of planting evidence in an unrelated bombing case in 1983 and was defended by none other than Verges. VERGES SAID Monday the order to kill him came from the top. In every country, the one who makes that decision is the head of state, he told the television network France-2. You want me to tell you who that is? Its Monsieur Francois Mitterrand. The presidential Elysee Palace refused comment.

But Yves Bonnet, a former director of the French counter-intelligence agency, and Pierre Marion, a former director of the overseas spy agency, denied there had been any plan to eliminate Verges. Its a fantasy that would make you laugh if it werent so serious, Bonnet told French radio. Bonnet did, however, acknowledge that then-interior minister Gaston Defferre decided in 1982 to try to eliminate Carlos overseas. He did not say if an attempt to kill Carlos was actually made. Verges himself faced new accusations in French newspapers Monday.

Le Parisien said he kept rockets used in an attack in January 1982 on the nuclear power plant then under construction in Creys-MalvUle. The paper quoted documents from the Stasi, the former East German intelligence service. Le Figaro cited Stasi documents that showed the secret police believed Veiges was a CIA agent. YOU CANT PUT faith in documents from a country that lies, where women denounce their husbands and children denounce their parents, Veiges told Le Figaro. They dont have any more value than an anonymous letter.

Almost lost in all this is Carlos, bom Rich Ramirez Sanchez. He is sitting in a Paris jail facing charges in four bomb attacks in the early 1980s in France that killed 12 people. He is also expected to be retried for the 1975 murders in Paris of two French counter-intelligence agents. Carlos evaded western intelligence agencies for 20 years before his Aug. 14 capture.

BUKAVU, Zaire (Reuter) Hutus suspected of involvement in ethnic killings and deprived of French protection joined thousands of confused Rwandan refugees milling around border crossings into Zaire Monday. A few thousand people were able to cross the Ruzizi River marking the frontier. Zairese paratroopers kept the main bridge closed. But in the afternoon trucks ferried refugees over a second crossing into a new camp set up by relief agencies. Aid officials expressed relief that the refugee tide, triggered by the weekend withdrawal of French troops from a safe zone in southwestern Rwanda, was not of the magnitude of an earlier exodus further north that overwhelmed Goma, Zaire.

Hutu militiamen, who had terrorized civilians in the French zone, fled in panic for Zaire but failed to persuade most of the population to follow them. The number who joined the latest march to Zaire was estimated at no more than 100,000 out of up to four million estimated to be living in the zone. UNYIELDING ZAIRESE troops and confusion among relief agencies delayed the crossing of thousands of exhausted Rwandan refugees into Zaire Monday. But there was no repeat of the chaotic scenes of the weekend when Zairese paratroopers fired into the air to stop them storming across after the frontier was closed. By mid-afternoon, trucks ferried refugees along a muddy lakeside road to Hongo, 18 km from the border, where the relief agency CARE was setting up a camp to accommodate up to 80,000 people.

Well be setting up the camp from scratch today, Mark Richardson, a CARE worker from Ottawa said Monday. "We hope to do a shuttle service to pick up refugees massed at the border. Kris Janowski, a UN spokesman, estimated that a few hundred refugees reached Hongo Monday. He said UN workers were harassed by local people who said the land chosen in Hongo for the refugee site was theirs and not for Rwandan refugees. We went to see the governor and he said the land was lawfully allotted to us and that he would provide security for the site, Janowski said.

Hutu refugees in camps and peasants in the countryside ignored the militamens warnings that once the French had left the Rwanda Patriotic Front would slaughter them. STARO SELO, Croatia (AP) Refugees and soldiers loyal to a defeated rebel Muslim leader huddled in makeshift tents Monday. Despite government pleas to return to northwest Bosnia, most said they will not. Bosnian government forces conquered remaining resistance in the Bihac pocket during the weekend, the former stronghold of renegade Muslim leader Fikret Abdic. The offensive sent more than 20,000 refugees fleeing across the border into a part of Croatia controlled by rebel Serbs who backed Abdic.

At Staro Selo, 20 km north of the border, about 7,000 civilian refugees who arrived Sunday turned a large field into a camp. Using tractors, cars and trucks, they fashioned logs and blankets into temporary tents. ABOUT 1,000 soldiers loyal to Abdic arrived Monday. They were immediately disarmed by Serbs and were being settled across the road from the civilians. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees rushed two trucks with blankets, mattresses, ready-to-eat meals, canned fish and high-protein crackers as well as 100 tents and two water tanks to Staro Selo.

Nina Paulsen, a spokeswoman for the International Red Cross, said there were already cases of diarrhea from drinking unclean water during the exodus. About 14,000 other refugees were, situated on an abandoned farm near Slunj, 15 km west of the border. UN officials, however, were most worried about the 2,000 people stranded in no-mans land between Croat and Serb forces in Croatia. The Bosnian government appealed to the refugees to return home, assuring them of safety and offered an amnesty to Abdic loyalists who surrendered by Wfednesday. But there were few takers.

No one is going back, said Peter Kessler, a UNHCR spokesman in Sarajevo. MANY REFUGEES said they will not return, either because of continued allegiance to Abdic or because of fear of reprisals from government forces. Id rather kill myself than go back, said Dzemal Kajtezovic, 47, who arrived at Staro Selo with his wife and children. Abdic is the only one who can rule us. Abdic, a wealthy businessman, last fall proclaimed independence from Sarajevo for the mostly Muslim Bihac pocket, which is completely surrounded by Serb-held territory in Bosnia and Croatia.

Abdic cut his own deal with the Serbs, who backed his forces with artillery fire. Sundays capture of Veli-ka Kladusa, Abdics stronghold, freed government troops to fight the Serbs, who control 70 per cent of the countrys area. Kuwaiti prince among 44 dead RABAT, Morocco (AP) A Kuwaiti prince was among the passengers on a Royal Air Maroc passenger plane that crashed 10 minutes after takeoff from Agadir, killing all 44 people aboard, the airline said Monday. The ATR-42 twin-turboprop aircraft, flying from the southern city of Agadir to Casablanca, crashed Sunday night at Douar Izounine, about 30 km north of Agadir. The victims included eight Italian tourists, five Frenchmen a baby and the four-member crew, the state-owned airline said.

The dead also included a Kuwaiti prince identified as 38-year-old Ali al-Mahmoud al-Jabir al-Sabah, brother of the Kuwaiti defence minister, the airline said. The airline released the names of 18 foreigners on the flight, but did not give their FM THI MOST CASH CALL 974-6222 home countries..
