India's new Parliament opens amid slim opposition
New Delhi reports the Parliament opens with the smallest opposition since independence as Rajiv Gandhi pledges not to force his mandate. The Congress won a record 401 seats in the 544 seat Lok Sabha, delivering a five year term following Indira Gandhi's assassination. In Brussels a car bomb injures two US guards at a NATO social center claimed by an extreme left group, the eighth attack in four months. In Jerusalem Shimon Peres says all Israeli troops will leave Lebanon this summer, a plan opposed by Deputy PM Yitzhak Shamir who favors a three stage withdrawal.
