East German Parliament forms government after democratic breakthrough
In East Berlin the first non-Cunusnustice Parliament convened to replace four decades of Stalinist rule. Lawmakers elected in the March 18 free elections began forming a government as Lothar de Maiziere eyed the post and a probe into possible secret police collaboration. Sabine Bergmann-Pohl was elected president of the new body. Across the Caribbean, a Haitian soldier who seized a passenger jet escaped after holding an empty Airbus A300 for three days threatening to fly to the United States. He fled at 1 10 am as the airport remained on alert after earlier gunfire near a Trans-Air flight.
