New power struggle hits Iran

The celebrations and

marked the departure of the’
Shah of Iran have been short
lived since a new power”
struggle began this week.

A call by the country’s
exiled spiritual leader
Ayatollah Khomainie to
overthrow “the. illegal
government” of new prime
minister Shahpour Bakhtiar
and for mass demonstrations
against the new government
brought a resumption to
fighting in the streets of Iran
in the past week.

Bloody confrontation
between protesters and the

army has resulted in more
than 20 deaths in one in-
cident alone this week.

However, the Ayatollah
called on troops to help
overthrow the government
and by Friday soldiers were
reported to be with the
people.

The Ayatollah says he will

set up an Islamic republic, .

although many Iranians do
not know what that would
entail and whether they
would be free to elect their
own leaders or if they. would
be appointed by the
Ayatollah.

He has also ignored U.S.
president Jimmy Carter's
plea to restore peace and

warned the United States not
to meddle in Iranian affairs.

Hundreds of thousands of
Iranians went on the march
Friday, demanding that the
Shah be permanently
banished, while hordes of
women dressed in black
carried placards telling
president Carter to “run,
run, run.”

Anti-American feeling has
increased in Iran since the
departure of the Shah and in

Tehran signs saying “Yankee _

go home” are now said to be
as plentiful as those reading
“Death to the Shah.”

and Yves Langlois, both
allegedly involved in the
1970 kidnapping of British
envoy James Cross during

the October Crisis have
indicated that they also
would like to return to

Canada.

Charrette is not suspected

as being involved in that
kidnapping but is also
wanted by the FBI, who
might seek his extradition in

connection with the
hijacking of an _ airliner
between New York and

Miami which was diverted to
Cuba. He is also thought to
have made contact with the

Black Panthers after fleeing
from Quebec in 1969.

- Police at Montreal
arrested Charrette as soon as
he had cleared customs after
landing on a plane from
Havanna, where he has been
living.
