Arrest in Alaska pipeline sabotage case near Fairbanks
A 26 year old Fairbanks man Larry Wertz was arrested on malicious destruction charges over a series of blasts that damaged insulation and dented supports on the trans Alaska pipeline 18 miles north of Fairbanks. Investigators say dynamite was used in at least five blasts but the pipeline remained in service. Wertz was jailed on $100000 bond and arraignment was planned. UPI reports congressional efforts to make tampering with the pipeline a federal offense.

Bell says Korean probe 80 percent complete in briefing
Attorney General Griffin Bell told about 100 House members the Justice Department's probe into the Korean bribery scandal is eighty percent complete with several cases nearing indictment decisions. Assistant Attorney General Civiletti estimated eighty percent of evidence examined with few cases at the decision stage and expected more indictments or actions by early fall. The briefing noted the investigation's early slow start but accelerated with a team of five lawyers, 12 IRS agents and 12 FBI agents interviewing about 500 people.

Vance condemns Israeli West Bank settlements
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance criticized Israel for creating an obstacle to peace by approving three settlements in the West Bank. Zbigniew Brzezinski echoed concerns, saying the move violates international law and complicates any path to a Palestinian homeland. Dinitz said no rift exists as talks continue. An unwilling withdrawal by settlers could hinder any agreement on removing Israeli authority from the occupied territory.
