* Kashmiri rebels threaten foreign tourists, 13 rebels slain

UPI News Summary:

	SRINAGAR, India  -- Security forces killed  13 underground
Muslim insurgents in the Himalayan state of Jammu & Kashmir Wednesday while
the insurgents threatened that all foreign tourists who did not evacuate the
region in three days would be kidnapped. 

A J&K Govt. spokesman claimed that 13 militants were killed and 25 captured
in gunbattles in Srinagar. Unofficial reports however, placed the toll at
15 dead militants. 

A major insurgent organization, the Jamait-ul-Mujahideen, made the threat to
kidnap foreign tourists, accusing them of being Indian agents, spying on them
in Western garb. This brings back memories of last year, when an Israeli soldier,
vacationing in Kashmir was killed, while two of his comrades were wounded when
militants attempted to kidnap them. Most Western countries have warned their
citizens not to visit the state as a result of the militant uprising. Only the
most daring venture to visit the state as tourists on vacation.

	India repeatedly has accused Pakistan of training and arming Kashmiri
rebels, many of whom want their territory merged with their Islamic
neighbor. Pakistan denies aiding the militants despite claims to the
contrary by the rebels themselves.

	In neighboring Punjab, another violence-battered Indian state, five
Sikh separatist rebels and an unidentified individual were slain
Wednesday, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

	Sikh extremists, attempting to relieve police pressure on them, have
started targeting the homes of policemen and their relatives in Punjab,
which like Kashmir borders Pakistan. At least 86 police and their
relatives have been killed since last month in mainly nighttime rebel
attacks.

India's first indigenously built multi-role night helicopter took off
on its maiden flight yesterday from Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd's helipad
in Bangalore.  The twin engine new generation helicopter was earlier
dedicated to the nation by the Vice President Mr.K.R.Narayanan. 
	The cost effective multi-purpose aircraft was designed for civil
and military purposes.  The civil version of the helicopter can carry
12 passengers besides 2 crew members.
	With this India has joined a select group of countries which can
design and manufacture such a helicopter.

In the Central state of Madhya Pradesh about 37 people are feared
dead when a bus with 65 passengers on board fell in to a swollen river
on Saturday.

The Prime Minister Mr.P.V.Narasimha Rao leaves for Jakarta later 
today to participate in the 10th NAM (Non Aligned Movement) summit
which opens tomorrow in the Indonesian capital. The U.N Security
General Dr.Bhutros Ghali will also speak on the same day. Indian Premier 
Rao will present a report on Africa fund being it's current chairman.
	The NAM foreign ministers have agreed to readmit Mayanmmar
as a member after a gap of 13 years. The members, however, decided
to defer the decision on the controversial issue of Yugoslovia's
membership to their next meeting to be held under U.N. General Assembly
in New York next month.

India has unequivocally told Pakistan that its National Assembly resolution
on Babri Masjid will affect the process of bilateral talks. This was
conveyed to the Pakistan's Minister of health by India's minister of state 
for external affairs at a meeting in Jakharta yesterday. The minister said 
New Delhi views the adoption of the resolution as a direct interference
in its internal affairs.  
	The all India Babri Masjid action committee has deplored the 
the resolution adopted by the Pakistan National Assembly on the Ram-
janmabhoomi/Babri Masjid and said this is irresponsible and provocative act.
	In a strongly worded statement the spokesman of the committee
Mr.Javed Habib asked Pakistan not to act as a center point of guardian
of Muslims in the sub-continent. He said India is a secular country
and all problems can be solved with faith, cooperation and active
concurrence of all communities.

* Police kill 7 Maoists after series of bloody attacks

	NEW DELHI, India -- Police forces, trying to crack down on
underground Maoists waging a campaign of class annihilation shot and
killed seven rebels Tuesday after a week of violent rebel attacks in the
southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, authorities said.
	In the past week, Maoist guerrillas in Andhra Pradesh killed seven
paramilitary troops in an ambush, blew up a state minister's home with
gelatine sticks, assassinated a local politician of the governing
Congress party, and sprayed gunfire on another minister's car, killing
his son, brother, uncle and bodyguard. 
	The shooting deaths came as a general strike sponsored by the Maoists
crippled activity in the state's Warangal district, 775 miles southeast
of the Indian capital, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. 
	It said the strike was called by the underground rebels to protest
the new police crackdown on them.
	Warangal and adjacent Karimnagar district are the center of Maoist
activity in Andhra Pradesh, where scores of people have been slain by
the rebels as part of their political campaign in support of landless
peasants.
	A state government spokesman said one shootout with police occurred
Tuesday when the Maoists, known as ``Naxalites'' in India, were holding
a public meeting. In the ensuing gunbattle, five rebels were slain, the
spokesman said.
	Two Maoists were slain in a second unrelated shootout, the official
added.
	The campaign of violence in Andhra Pradesh is being waged by an
organization that calls itself the People's War Group.

* Autonomy For Kashmir

New Delhi: Prime Minister P.V.Narasimha Rao is believed to be willing
to negotiate a settlement on Kashmir that would give the people of the
state far greater autonomy than is guarenteed under Article 370 of the
Indian Constitution, it is reliably learnt.
	Premier Rao has agreed in principle that in case the militants
of the state willing to lay down their arms, greater autonomy within
the frame work of the Indian Constitution could be discussed.
	Sources closer to the Prime Minister revealed that though Rao
has asserted that Kashmir will not leave the Indian Union, he has
given a green signal to make it " a quasi independent region within
the boundaries of India."
	While defense and foreign affairs would be looked after by the
government in New Delhi, the rest could be taken care of by the
Kashmiri people themselves.
	
BJP criticizes the Sell-Out

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party, which discussed the proposal of
land swap in Kashmir put forward by James C Clad, a senior fellow of
the prestigious Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, criticized
the Narasimha Rao government for "discussing the partition of Jammu
and Kashmir with foreigners".
	In his brief opening remarks at the executive meeting of the
party in Bhopal last week, Dr.Murali Manohar Joshi,  its president,
also criticized the government's move on giving greater autonomy to
the Kashmiris. Dr.Joshi asserted that his party would not allow the
ceding of any part of Kashmir.
	
Government serious on autonomy

While sketchy details are available on the autonomy offered to the
Kashmiris, sources close to the PMO confirmed that they have been
"toying with the idea to defuse the situation in the valley once and
for all."  It seems the prime minister reached this conclusion after
he was presented with an army audit, that reported an expense of Rs 5
crore per day to police in Srinager alone.	
	With hostilities in Siachen also showing no signs of abating,
the burden of the exchequer has been very heavy.
	The cost for the rest of the state would be absolutely
astronomical.  And with the war in Siachin costing the nation well
over Rs 3 crore  day, the premier decided that the best was out of the
whole mess was to make peace.
	It is learnt that feelers have been sent out to various
militant factions in exchange for general amnesty scheme.  While
people in the PMO realize that political parties like the BJP are
likely to oppose the plan, they might just go ahead with it in view of
the costs to the nation.

Civil aviation in India will be richer by the entry into its skies of
yet another global airliner United Airlines from Feb 10, 1993.  In its
first entry into the country, United Airlines will link New Delhi in
a new "round the world service". 

As it was announced amid much fanfare here last week, each day two
flights - "United One" (westbound) and "United Two" (eastbound) - will
circle the globe as they link six major cities across the world:
New York, London, New Delhi, Hong Kong, SanFransisco and Los Angeles.
	The eastbound flight begins in Los Angeles and stops in 
New York, London, Delhi, Hong Kong and San Fransisco before returning
to Los Angeles.
	The westbound service, which starts on Feb 11, follows the
Los Angeles-San Fransisco-Hong Kong-New Delhi-London-New York-Los
Angeles route.
	"This single round-the-world flight represents the crown
jewel in United's global route network", said Stephen M Wolf, Chairman
and CEO, in a message from the airline's Chicago headquarters on the
occassion of the announcement of Indian chapter here.  "We are proud
to be the only airline in the world to offer this unique service and
very pleased to add Delhi to our growing list of international
destinations served", he added.

INDIAN FORCES CRACK DOWN ON SIKH MILITANTS
Source: UPI News Summary

	AMRITSAR, India  -- Indian authorities said security forces on
Tuesday launched a massive operation against Sikh militants in the
Punjab after killing more than 42 insurgents in four days of gunbattles.
	Police said the crackdown involves extensive comb-and-search
operations throughout the countryside.
	Police and paramilitary forces carried out raids on suspected
militant hideouts in about 200 villages after blocking all possible
escape routes, a police spokesman said, adding that all vehicles on
highways and even dirt roads were stopped and searched.
	The new operation appeared designed to shatter the militants'
nighttime dominance of the countryside and to rebuild morale in a police
force demoralized by a recent bloody wave of guerrilla attacks on the
homes of police and their relatives.
	The rebel attacks, in which at least 75 police and their relatives
perished, was in apparent reprisal for the police slaying of two top
Sikh extremist leaders, each of whom carried a government reward of 
$90,000 for his head.
	Police said violence also flared in Kashmir where a policeman and two
other people were killed in shootouts between rebels and police.

How about:

       Copyright (C) 1992 Qiang Alex Zhao

       Original code

       Copyright (C) 1988      Dr. X Y Z

Or perhaps with "Original code" replace by "some code".

But perhaps you could reconsider; as it stands, you could put a virus in
the code, and the original author could get the credit(?).  My guess is
that copyright notice is probably as valid as the GPV(L), so you would
probably be better off working from scratch.

Darci Chapman asks:

     So that's why it's okay to add more radiation into our
     environment?? Because we were never radiation free to begin
     with? Wow, the logic is stunning.

Indeed, a premise of the reasoning has been omitted, the amount of
radiation to be added compared to the amount we already experience.

Let me put the question to Darci Chapman this way.

If there is some other advantage to be gained, e.g. long lived
smoke detectors, would it be ok to increase the level of radiation
in a home by

a) one part in a thousand?

b) one part in a million?

c) one part in a trillion?

d) one part in a quadrillion?

e) by one atom?

I'd go for one part in a thousand myself.

This is the concept known as reinsurance.  There are companies that
specialize in this, and the intent is to spread the risk among companies,
just as a company spreads the risk among policy holders.

While reserves are kept for situations such as this, and allow the
companies to pay off, and the reinsurers cover portions of it, rates will
go up.  The reinsurers will raise rates to again build up their reserves,
just as the companies will.

That's the whole concept here : shared risk.  And as such, every insurance
claim affects to bottom line and premiums.  The higher the payout, the more
money that needs to be collected from policy holders.  Think about this
when you make an insurance claim....if you inflate it, it costs everybody.
