—The Daily Collegian Tuesday, July 31,1990 Violence continues in T rinidad Prime minister, 30 others spend fourth day hostage By DAN SEWELL Associated Press Writer PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad Spo radic rifle and machine-gun fire rang out yesterday around two buildings where Moslem extremists held the prime minister and about 30 other peo ple hostage for the fourth day. A spokesman for the radicals said a tentative agreement was reached to end the standoff and an Anglican minister said an agreement was likely yester day. There was no government confir mation of either report. The shooting was reported at the state-run Trinidad and Tobago Tele vision complex and at the parliament building, where rebels took Prime Min ister Arthur N.R. Robinson and other eight government ministers hostage Friday. The buildings are about a mile apart. Later, heavy gunfire punctuated by explosions was heard at the television complex. “A major firefight is going on,” said a diplomatic source, speaking on condi tion of anonymity. Three buildings in the area were set ablaze, witnesses said A citizens-band operator said a fellow operator who lives near the television station told him police and soldiers had successfully stormed the complex and were headed for the parliament build ing. But Army chief Col. Ralph Brown denied that police stormed the complex. He said troops opened fire on the tele vision station when the rebels, who are led by Moslem extremist Abu Bakr, tried to leave the building. “Some of his men tried to come out, and we are not letting them out,” Brown said. It was unclear whether the rebels tried to surrender or escape. Brown chief said he did not think there were any casualties among the hostages. “Everything is under control,” he said.

Automatic weapons fire was centered yesterday on the television station where employees were reported taken hostage by Muslim extremist rebels on Friday. siege were still under way at midday, adding: “Everything is possible if you talk.” Rev. Knolly Clarke, an Anglican min ister who was negotiating between the rebels and the government, said a peaceful solution was likely yesterday. “Yes, today. The end is in sight,” he said. In Washington, State Department deputy spokesman Richard Boucher refused to comment on reports that U.S. military assets were being deployed near Trinidad. He said, how ever, “there are no plans for U.S. mili tary intervention.” Boucher said there have been no reports of injury to the estimated 6,000 Americans living in Trinidad. In New York, U.N. Secretary-Gener al Javier Perez de Cuellar said he was following the situation in Trinidad “with great anxiety.” As the fighting raged at the television station, Kwasi Attiba, a rebel spokes man inside the parliament building who was reached by telephone, said a tenta COLLCGIfIN CMSSIFI€D ADS RTT€NTION A BIT WORRIED?

Attiba said the accord called for Rob inson to resign immediately and to be replaced by Deputy Prime Minister Winston Dookeran, a widely respected moderate. Elections would be held with in 90 days, he said. Robinson won the 1986 parliamentary election by a landslide. Under the con stitution, tiie next elections do not have to be held until 1991. The rebels claim Robinson’s govern ment is corrupt and responsible for widespread poverty in this once oil-rich country. They claimed on Saturday to have wired Robinson with explosives and threatened to blow him up if a res cue attempt was made.

He said the government had granted amnesty to rebels who took part in the takeover and the army was to return them Monday to their commune at Mucurapo, about four miles outside Port-of-Spain, the capital. There was no immediate confirma tion of that agreement from the army or the government. Bakr has said his group has received funds from Libya and he has visited the North African country several times. Attiba said, however, that the insurrec tion was not directed by Libya. The rebels are believed to have little support in Trinidad. Government officials imposed a nationwide curfew after thousands of people reportedly went on a looting rampage, causing an estimated $5O mil lion damage to downtown stores.

Patients of a Florida dentist who may have given a woman AIDS could be tracked down and asked to take AIDS tests, but couldn’t be told why, officials said Mon day. Florida law protects the identity of anyone who has AIDS, even from those who may have been infected by the per son. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control last week described a case involving a 21-year-old college student who may have gotten AIDS from her dentist dur ing a tooth extraction. The dentist was diagnosed with AIDS three months ear lier and wore gloves and a mask. State health officials have made no public comment about published reports that the woman was from some where in Florida. Two sources, however, confirmed Monday on condition they not be identi fied, that it was a Florida dentist. The CDC said the case was the first in the nation involving a health profession al possibly transmitting AIDS, although researchers could not positively say how the woman got infected. But the CDC did rule out more conventional ways of getting the disease such as sex ual encounters or intravenous drug use. The name of any Florida resident who has acquired immune deficiency syn drome or who tests positive for the AIDS virus is confidential under Florida AP Laser Photo Alleged bubblegum threat backfires on store owner FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - A grocery store manager was arrested for threatening three young girls with a loaded .357-caliber revolver after they offered him three cents for a nickel’s worth of bubble gum. The children ran home from the store and told their mother, who called police. The store manager, identified as Abdullah Shaheen, was arrested and charged with three counts of aggra vated assault and one count of extortion. He denied the accusation. Police and the children said they UUfINT TO R€NT APARTMENT FOR FALL 1990 only, close to campus, 1 or 2 roo mates only, call 867-1482. DEC. GRAD. DESIRES own room for Fall 1990 only.

While officials wouldn’t confirm pub licly that the CDC case originated in Florida, they were willing to say that if it did, the state has the ability to track down the dentist’s patients to urge them to be tested for AIDS. “If this was a Florida case, HRS would be able to contact patients of the doctor,” said Brian Ballard, Gov. Bob Martinez’s chief of staff. “I can assure you that HRS understands their mission is public safety.” The patients would not be told, howev er, that their connection to the dentist was the reason they were asked to take an AIDS test, Konicki said. That same confidentiality protection applies to anyone with AIDS to encour age them to disclose names of people to whom they may have transmitted the disease. “The intent of the law, the confiden tiality part of the law, is that it only goes to the identity of somebody who’s infected,” said state Rep. Lois Frankel, chairwoman of the task force that pro duced a sweeping 1988 Florida AIDS law. “Confidentiality is an important part of contact tracing,” she said. “You can’t force someone to give you the name of a partner.” Questions were raised about the laws that protect patient records of doctors and dentists, which would be one of the only ways to obtain names ■ walked to Sami’s Food Mart on Sunday and placed their usual three cents on the counter for bubble gum. They said Sha heen told them: “Put five cents up there.” The children said they told him they always paid three cents for the gum. He pulled out the gun and pointed it in the face of 7-year-old Donetta Curry, police said. “He took out the gun and pointed it at me,” Donetta said later. “So I put five cents up there. I ran and told my mama. I was scared he was going to shoot me.” .e«fcy Offic* ret The Condo Connection at
