Moslem factions formed the National Alliance Front in Chtaura Bekaa Valley under Syrian sponsorship to demand power sharing with Christians who dominate politics but no longer hold a majority. The move isolates President Amin Gemayel as Christians rally behind a rival bloc formed last week by Suleiman Franjieh and Elie Hobeika.

Papal plot trial hinges on main witness credibility
In Rome the 1981 pope assassination trial centers on Mehmet Ali Agca whose shifting tale and claims of Soviet Bulgarian links raise doubts about the prosecution's case. Agca, who shot John Paul II, has alternately alleged visions and political motives while defense lawyer Domenico Martelli seeks psychiatric testing for co-defendant Agea as evidence of a deluded, megalomaniacal mind.
