Sniper Fire Ends Beirut Second Cease Fire Day
Beirut endured scattered sniper fire on the second day of the 12th cease-fire in the Muslim Christian street war. Fewer than 10 killed or wounded in the last 24 hours. Phalange blamed Muslims and Palestinians for violations and refused to withdraw from four downtown and eastern suburb fronts without government protection. Moslem Lebanese and Palestinian allies held lines behind sandbags and gun emplacements, delaying a renewal of normal business as merchants said trading cannot resume while roads remain unsafe.

Narcotics for guns trade harms US Mexico security
The DEA says a confidential EPIC report warns narcotics for arms trades between U.S. traffickers and Mexican insurgents threaten both nations' internal security. The report notes Mexican guerrilla groups exchange heroin for American arms and cites 45 cases, with officials predicting a possible breach in U.S.–Mexico relations and broader hemispheric risk. The DEA backs the parallel to Southeast Asia's narcotics control and notes a record Mexican poppy crop, with $7 million in U.S. aid for enforcement and a readiness to curb the supply.
