IRAQ SAID IT SENT its troops into Kuwait Thursday to provide security for the provisional government and would withdraw them when the situation stabilized. The international diplomatic community poured scorn on the claim, with the British ambassador to the United Nations accusing Baghdad of setting up a puppet regime in Kuwait. With oil-rich Saudi Arabia in potential danger, President Bush met with advisers in Washington to discuss possible retaliatory measures against Iraq, which easily overran Kuwait on Thursday. A NATO SOURCE SAID the United States had “contingency plans” in case Iraq’s president, Saddam Hussein, carried his aggression further through the strategic region. Bush has refused to rule out the use of military force. In a rare joint statement, the Soviet Union and United States demanded that all countries stop arms supplies to Iraq and that Iraq pull out of Kuwait immediately. The Soviet Union, Iraq’s main

IN RELATED developments: • Egypt broke the silence among major Arab nations and harshly condemned the invasion. • Jordan’s King Hussein met with Saddam in Baghad, then announced that Arab leaders would gather for a summit Sunday to discuss the crisis. He also urged the United States not to intervene militarily. • U.S. officials sought information on 14 Americans, mostly oil workers, missing in Kuwait who apparently were seized by Iraqi forces. • Saudi sources said there was a good chance Saddam would meet with the ousted Kuwaiti ruler, Sheik Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, this weekend in Saudi Arabia. • The United States proposed that the U.N. Security Council adopt sweeping military, trade and economic sanctions against Iraq for its invasion of Kuwait • Driven by fears of a production drop, oil prices continued to climb.

AAA says there is no reason for gas price hikes all ready

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) much too soon for gasoline wholesalers and retailers to boost prices in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait the AAA Hoosier Motor Club says. It urged the wholesalers and retailers Friday to curb price increases. THE CLUB’S SURVEY of 47 Indianapolis gas stations Friday found that retailers had increased prices an average of 6 cents since Wednesday. Iraq invaded Kuwait Thursday, capturing its oil fields and causing crude oil prices to jump. One-half of all U.S. oil supplies are imported. However, the nation has a three-month oil supply in reserve, experts said. “Apparently the retailers and wholesalers don’t actually have just cause for increasing the prices at this time,” said Stephanie Hinds, a

IRS considering following man to his grave to get back taxes

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) The Internal Revenue Service will go to almost any lengths to retrieve back taxes. In a case against an Iranian immigrant, federal officials are considering following the man into the grave. The U.S. attorney’s office says it might ask to exhume the body of Ehsanolla Motaghed just to make sure he’s dead. Motaghed apparently died June 9 without paying $156,000 in back taxes. ‘-THEY’RE JUST MAD because he had the audacity to die without settling his account,” said James Martin Davis, the attorney for Motaghed’s estate. Motaghed, 66, who ran an optical lens importing business, was indicted April 25 for allegedly offering a $4,000 cash bribe to an IRS agent. He pleaded innocent and was free on bail. According to both Davis and local death records, Motaghed died June 9 in his Omaha apartment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or

widely traded international crude, rose $2 a barrel Thursday and 86 cents more on Friday to close at $23.25. DETAILS FROM Kuwait on Friday were sketchy. Public communication was severed and a radio station opposed to the invasion was knocked off the air. Its last message was a desperate appeal from Kuwait for fellow Arabs to “rush, rush to their help.” The Iraqi army faced pockets of resistance early in the day, according to residents and diplomats. Explosions and gunfire were reported at the country’s main military barracks in the capital and along the coast 15 miles away. Later, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Iraqi troops were five to 10 miles from the Saudi border. British Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd said Iraqi troops were massing along the Saudi border. DIPLOMATIC SOURCES in Saudi Arabia said an Iraqi missile exploded early Friday on Saudi territory area near the Kuwait, Saudi, and Iraqi borders. It was not known if the missile was deliberately fired

spokeswoman for the auto club. “They’re looking into the future and predicting with all that’s going on in the Middle East oil prices will rise.” USUALLY, UPHEAVALS in the oil industry would result in gas hikes at the pumps in six to eight weeks, the auto club said. Mike Grogan’s Amoco Service Center on Indianapolis’ west side raised prices Thursday morning 4 cents. “I basically get a phone call and then I go up or down,” Grogan said. “I stay within the same margin and then price accordingly. Who knows who is pushing the buttons?” The AAA survey showed gasoline averaging $1,279 a gallon in Indianapolis. Full-serve prices averaged $1,407; self-serve $1,145. One retailer reported a 10-cent increase in prices overnight. The

Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was buried June 12. THE U.S. ATTORNEY’S office has said it is considering seeking a Douglas County Court order to have the body exhumed. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Kokrda has refused to say why officials suspect Motaghed isn’t dead. “This is about as grotesque a thing as I’ve ever dealt with,” said Davis, who has asked the court to dismiss the charges. “It’s an identification problem,” Kokrda said in an interview Tuesday. “It was four days after he was put in the ground that we read in the paper that he died. We’re just trying to satisfy ourselves” that the man died. KOKRDA SAID HIS office hasn’t decided whether to ask for exhumation. “If we can do it (make an identification) anv other way, we will,” he said. The IRS on Monday filed liens against Motaghed’s estate, claiming he owes $156,000 in back taxes.

into Saudi Arabia. There were no reports of injuries or damage in the sparsely populated area. White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater told reporters: “We are extremely concerned about the possibility of Iraq broadening its invasions plans to any other country. ... They are close enough to the Saudi border to indicate cause for concern. But we don’t know what their intentions or motives are.” U.S. OFFICIALS SAID Iraq had far more troops in and near Kuwait than are necessary to occupy the country, which is about the size of New Jersey. A NATO source in Brussels said that the United States had informed allies it “was aware Iraq may have designs beyond Kuwait” and had made “contingency plans.” A Bush administration source with access to U.S. intelligence reports from Kuwait said the sheikdom’s oil production and shipping facilities appeared to have been undamaged. Analysts believe this means Saddam intends to maintain control of the valuable Kuwaiti oil industry.

lowest increases reported were 1 cent, Miss Hinds said. THE AAA SURVEY did not in-: elude stations outside the In-: dianapolis area, but prices are believed to be higher throughout the state, Miss Hinds said. If prices continue to rise, the auto club will conduct a statewide survey next week, she said. “What we’re hoping is that they do use restraint and don’t just let the prices skyrocket because of what might happen in the future,” Miss Hinds said. Ball State University economist Gary Santoni said the potential disruption of oil supplies makes crude oil worth much more on the commodities markets. “The market is looking at the disruption of our oil supply from that region, and crude oil prices shot up as a result,” Santoni said.

The filing was the result of a review of Motaghed’s 1985 through 1987 tax returns, said Omaha IRS spokesman Ed Daemon. Motaghed’s daughter, Afsaneh McGahey of San Diego, said she was questioned two weeks ago by IRS officials about her father’s death. “I WAS HORRIFIED,” said Mrs. McGahey, who is a lawyer. “I don’t know why they are doing this.” Mrs. McGahey said she’s satisfied the man in the grave at Omaha’s Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery is her father. The death certificate on file with the county identifies the body as that of Motaghed, said Douglas County Attorney Ron Staskiewicz. The certificate lists amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as the cause of death. Motaghed came to the United States 12 years ago after being expelled from Iran by the government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
