ISRAEL CALLS FOR LIBYAN SANCTIONS TO BE SPREAD TO SYRIA, IRAN 
 
JERUSALEM (APRIL 15) DPA - Israel welcomed Wednesday the imposition of
international sanctions on Libya, and called for similar action to be taken
against other Middle Eastern states like Syria and Iran. 
 
Speaking on Israel Radio Deputy Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that
''sanctions should be placed on all totalitarian countries acquiring nuclear
weapons and supporting international terrorism including Syria and Iran''. 
 
''The international community should impose appropriate norms of behaviour on
those countries and make clear that it is not a conflict of the West against
Islam but an attempt to impose enlightened culture on barbarians,'' he said. 
 
Netanyahu is deputy minister without portfolio in the prime minister's office
and functions as the government's spokesman.

U.S. SEEKING WIDER CONDEMNATION OF KURDISH WORKER PARTY 
 
WASHINGTON (APRIL 15) DPA - A senior State Department official said Wednesday
that the United States has urged other governments -including Germany and Syria
- to join in the condemnation of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK). 
 
The official, speaking to reporters on the basis of no further identification,
said that U.S. officials have asked the Syrian government to cease supporting
PKK training bases in the Bekaa valley of Lebanon. 
 
He said the U.S. government has also talked with the German government, urging
them to join the United States in condemning the PKK as a terrorist
organization. The official said, ''We hope the German government will come
around to our point of view.'' 
 
Asked whether the U.S. government supports Turkish raids on suspected PKK
installations in northern Iraq, he said the United States opposes cross-border
military actions as a matter of principle, but added that each case could have
different circumstances.

He denied reports circulating in the Middle East that the United States had
advance warning of the April 5 air raid by Iranian planes on a military base of
the Iranian opposition Mujahedin group inside Iraq. 
 
He said the U.S. government is still not certain why the Iranian planes
attacked, but he noted there had been intensive preparations by both the
Iranian air force and the Muhahedin for weeks before the raid. He suggested
that both the Iranian government and the Mujahedin might have been trying to
influence the course of the current Iranian parliamentary election process. 
 
But he added, ''Frankly, we don't know why they attacked.'' 
 
He also rold reporters that the United States seeks better relations with Iran 
but that Iran must first behave responsibly. 
 
He added that the United States considers it extremely unlikely that Iran would
return the Iraqi air force planes that took refuge there during the Gulf war.

SAUDI SHAREHOLDING COMPANIES POST PROFITS 
 
RIYADH (APRIL 15) MIDDLE EAST NEWS NETWORK - 
 
Saudi shareholding companies have reported profits from their operations last
year despite unfavorable conditions created by the Gulf war, the international
economic recession and the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar. 
 
According to annual reports of many such companies, their excellent performance
was partly due to government support which has provided facilities for the
private sector to undertake its role in the national economy. 
 
Within these lines, the Saudi Industrial Exports Company earned revenues of
more than SR161.9 million last year including gross profits of about SR17.4
million and will distribute SR7.2 million in dividends representing 10 percent
of its paid up capital, according to the annual report of the company's board
of directors. 
 
The report said the company's sales for the year ending Dec. 31, 1991 reached
more than SR157 million. 
Press <RETURN> or <S>croll?
 
 
The company was established in June 1990 with paid up capital of SR72 million
to export Saudi industrial products. It also undertakes re- exporting and
barter operations. 
 
The report said 97 percent of the company's revenues (SR157.2 million) were
made through trading activities (sales). 
 
It noted that the Gulf war had had adverse effects on the company's activities
during the first four months of the year under review but said the company was
able to pick up and make a profit during the remaining eight months of the
year. 
 
According to the report, SR2.4 million of the profits will be paid as zakat and
SR1.05 will be added to the regular reserve. 
 
The report said 54 percent of the company's sales went to Arab countries while
the remaining 46 percent were made with India and Southeast Asia. 
 
It added that the company gives special attention to Arab and regional markets 
specially the GCC countries, North Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iran. 
 
The National Gypsum Company, which will hold its annual general assembly May 5 
last year earned revenues of SR67.1 million against SR63.2 million the previous
year with an increase of 6.2 percent. 
 
The company made profits of SR21.9 million against SR15.9 million with an
increase of SR5.9 million (37.2 percent). 
 
According to the report of the board of directors to be presented to the
general assembly, the company produced 174,944 tons of gypsum against 167,074
tons the previous year with an increase of 4.7 percent. The company has an
authorized capital of SR72 million and it has factories in Riyadh, Jeddah and
Yanbu to produce various types of gypsum. 
 
The report said the actual output of the factories is now 97 percent of their
designed capacity and added that new production lines would be added to further
increase the output to meet rising demand. 
 
The Cement Company of the South will next month distribute SR187.9 million in
dividends among shareholders, according to the company's report which said
profits of SR829.5 million have been distributed at the value of SR118.5 per
share unit since the company started production in 1982. 
 
The report said the company, with an authorized capital of SR525 million, has
produced a record of 2,005,595 tons of cement in 1991 against 1,855,825 tons in
1990. According to the report, about 1.7 million tons of this quantity was
marketed locally. 
 
The Saudi Land Transport Company (Mubarrad) last year earned more than SR147
million including net profits of SR37.8 million. 
 
According to the report of the company's board of directors, SR15 million will
be distributed in dividends among shareholders at the rate of five percent of
the book value of each share. 
 
The company has an authorized capital of SR300 million divided by three million
shares of which founding members subscribed 1.2 million shares. 
 
The remaining 2.8 million shares were recently offered for public subscription.

BUBIYAN ISLAND - STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT 
 
(APRIL 15) MIDDLE EAST NEWS NETWORK - Bubiyan Island embracing Kuwait from the
north and almost touching Iraq and Iran in the North Eastern side of the
Arabian Gulf, is Kuwait's biggest island and due to strategic location it can
act as a defensive line for the country. 
 
Bubiyan has had a strategic importance throughout the decades. Turks
established a military camp there in 1903. The Kuwaiti government objected to
this camp on the island as it was Kuwaiti land, where citizens built their
fisheries and a port for ships. The Germans, on the other hand, in agreement
with the Turkish government at the time, tried to establish a military base.
The British also accorded importance to the island due to its location. 
 
The Kuwait government objected to this interference and demanded its return and
were finally given possession when the Turks left the island just before World
War One. 
 
Bubiyan, which is linked to the main land through a bridge, has no population
but a proposal was submitted to the government before the invasion to establish
Press <RETURN> or <S>croll?
 
a number of touristic and residential chalets there. Due to the island's
terrain, implementation of the proposal was postponed. 
 
Now, after the end of Iraqi occupation it has been observed that the invaders
have practically played havoc with the island and have planted around it a
fence of mines. Anyone who visits the island can easily notice the large number
of destroyed Iraqi trucks, scores of trenches and a lot of excavations. Large
quantities of weapons and ammunition left by the retreating Iraqi troops can
also be noticed everywhere there. 
 
Commander of the Puma fighter plane squadron, Colonel Fadhel Hakam said that
Iraqis escaped from the island but left their ammunition and weapons behind. He
added that there was a large number of infiltrators who go to the island
frequently. These infiltrators are usually caught by security authorities on
the island. 
 
The Colonel said that no other infiltration incidents have taken place at the
island since some time, stressing that infiltration cannot be totally prevented
until after the demarcation of borders. 
 
He pointed out that Bubiyan is constantly monitored from the air, in
cooperation with the Ministry of Interior and Coast Guard. The Iraqi border is
only 16 kilometers away from the island, he added. 
 
Kubar, another Kuwaiti island, which also has no population was also used by
the Iraqis during the occupation. Here also Iraqis left behind ammunition,
weapons and military vehicles. On the other hand, Failaka, one of Kuwait's man
islands is 12 kilometers in length. More than 6,000 people lived on the island
prior to the Iraqi aggression. The population here earns its living from
agriculture and fishing. It also has a number of touristic chalets where
visitors reside. Destruction has also touched most of the houses and other
facilities and utilities on the island. Additionally, Iraqi weapons,
ammunitions and mines are everywhere.

IRANIANS EVICT UAE NATIONALS FROM GULF ISLAND 
 
BAHRAIN (APRIL 15) MIDDLE EAST NEWS NETWORK - Hundreds of nationals from the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) and some Indian workers have been evicted by Iran
from an island in the Gulf, Reuters news agency reports today. The eviction
occurred last week, when ''several hundred'' were put on boats for the
mainland. The island, Abu Musa, is jointly administered by Tehran and the
emirate of Sharjah. The agency says the UAE has asked Oman to mediate and has
informed other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Gulf-based
diplomats are quoted by Reuters as saying: ''It is a very serious
situation...this raises a lot of questions about Iran's intentions in the
region, particularly at a time when they are re-arming as quickly as they
can.'' Abu Musa, used as a naval base during the Iran-Iraq war, is now an oil
exploration area for the Sharjah-based Crescent Petroleum. Revenues are split
between Sharjah and Iran.
