Iran also battling tribesmen

BASRA, Iraq (UPI) - Iraqi
troops pressed deeper into
the oilfields of Khuzistan
Tuesday slogging toward
Abadan and its huge oil
refinery. Iran admitted
battles with rebellious
Kurdish tribesmen inside its
territory. and Iraq claimed a
victory on the central front.

Iran’s official Pars news
agency, revealing the first
outbreak of ethnic rebellion
within its borders since its
war with Iraq began 23 days
ago, said Kurdish tribesmen
“killed 20 Iranians and in-
jured 50 others in a series of
attacks” around Urumich,
near the Turkish border in
northwest Iran. It said 80
“rebels” were killed in the
clashes last Saturday.

Iraq. in its daily military
communique, said an
Iranian airfield at Deloran,
18 miles into Iran on the
central front, was destroyed
in overnight fighting.

It said three tanks and 15

other vehicles were
destroyed, 67 Iranian
soldiers were killed and 92
were wounded in fighting on
all fronts. Iraqi warplanes,
Baghdad said, destroyed a
railway station on the line
from Tehran to Dizful and
hit other targets without
loss.

Iran said it shot down a
sixth Iragi plane in Monday
night's attack on _ Iran's
Kharg island oi! terminal in
the Persian Gulf.

In the southern sector,
where Iraqi forces were
batthng toward Abadan,
Iraq said it shot down a
helicopter gunship, part of
Iran's stubborn defense of
the major city on the Shatt-
al- Arab waterway.

Iran's revelation of the
Kurdish outbreak was the
first evidence that not all of
Iran's restive minorities have
rallied behind the Tehran
government in the conflict
with Iraq.

about it because she thought
her husband would go to

a police spokesman
eid of the incident.

“The bullet went mght
through her (husband's)
hand and hit his wife in the
stomach.”

cleaning went off. The bullet

wounded Iraman regular
army troops, irregular
Revolutionary Guards and
civilians in planned attacks

aimed at Iran's oil jugular.
The new Iraqi push, which
began Friday, cut the main
road between the two oil
centers and knocked out
part of six pipelines leading

from Abadan'’s domestic
refinery, largest im the
Middle East.

Iran conceded some oil
workers in Abhvaz had fled
and warned they would be

shot as deserters.

told a group of British
correspondents as he
watched his troops broaden
the bridgehead across the
Karun, which separates
Abadan and its sister city
port of
where Iranian defenders
fought on.

Iraq's taking of Abadan
and finally Khurramshabr
would go a long way toward
control of the Shatt-al-Arab
waterway, the southwestern
boundary between the two
OPEC nations. If Ahvaz also
fell as well as the reportedly
besieged city of Dizful
farther north, Iran’s
domestic oil network would
seriously be pinched.
