...Reagan CIA contras hold, a guard now stops journalists from entering. AP reported last week that the guard, who is a member of the "Democratic Revolutionary Alliance," said he had orders from his commander not to allow any journalists to pass through to the Nicaraguan port, because it is being bombed by the Sandinista's air force and he could not guarantee their safety. That is a tale we've heard before, not so long...

The Minsk merely acknowledged the message, waited until the Holt was passing by at 300 yds., then fired four warning signal flares over the American vessel and four directly at it. Three of the flares hit the frigate's port side. The fourth whizzed by the bridge, missing the captain by a bare...
...flying missile fitting the description of a radar-controlled Exocet reportedly hit a 41,000-ton Greek tanker, Filikon L., that was more than 70 miles away from Kharg Island.

A South Korean supply vessel under contract to Aramco, the Saudi oil company, which was serving offshore rigs at the Saudi oilfields of Marjon, exploded, caught fire and sank...

Despite its poor performance, Iraq launched yet another attack two days later. This time four ships in a convoy sailing toward the Iranian port of Bandar Khomeini were hit.

A senior Iranian military officer suggested that Iraq's attacks on small foreign ships were...
...Caribbean, the U.S. aircraft carrier America and three escort ships left port in the Virgin Islands and cruised toward the Central American coast, where they will take part in readiness exercises this week. The task force is smaller than U.S. carrier fleets that plied the same waters seven months ago on White House orders, but the intention is the same: to warn the Marxist governments of nearby Nicaragua and Cuba that the U.S. will brook no interference in El Salvador, particularly during the elections...
