if Hi I TO 7 3 Palestinians die in clashes, bomb attempt Muslim panel accuses Israeli police The Associated Press killed and 140 wounded. I1 JJr'Vl Meanwhile, the Waqf, the Muslim religious council thut oversees the holy site, issued a report yesterday on the killings, calling the incident "the day of the martyrs." The report accused Israeli police and paramilitary border police "of shooting intensively with live ammunition, as if they were in a real war." It blamed police for setting off the incident by firing tear gas at women worshipers outside a mosque without reason. Palestinians responded with stones, and the police with gunfire, it said. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's office responded to the Waqf report by denouncing it as "superficial, one-sided and non-objective," Israel television reported. "Several members of the Muslim council participated in some of the incidents themselves, and this reflects the degree of the report's credibility," the office reportedly added.
JERUSALEM Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian yesterday after he assaulted and stabbed a civilian security guard in the West Bank city of Nablus, and another Arab was killed during a clash in a refugee camp in neighboring Tulkarem. Also yesterday, one Palestinian was killed and two were injured when a bomb they apparently were preparing went off in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish suburb of Tel Aviv, police said. Angry Jews gathered in the market in Bnei Brak after the blast and demanded that Arabs be barred from working in the community, Israel's army radio reported. The violence was the latest in a series of assaults by both Arabs and Jews following the Oct 8 blood bath on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Police opened fire on Palestinians on the mount after they had stoned worshipers at the Western Wall below.

Five Hindus were killed and 20 wounded as the decades-old dispute between Hindus and Muslims over ownership of the site came to a head. The controversy has left at least 138 people dead in the past week, brought Prime Minister V.P. Singh's government close to collapse and further strained relations between India's Hindu majority and Muslim minority. Singh, who opposes the Hindu campaign to replace the 16th-century Muslim mosque, yesterday repeated his offer to resign if his party thought it would help contain the sectarian violence.
He made a similar offer Monday. Hindu fundamentalists had said they would start construction yesterday on a temple to the god Rama on the site occupied by the mosque. The Hindus believe Rama was born at the site. The government said it would block any attempt to destroy the shrine and arrested 90,000 supporters of the fundamentalist World Hindu Council in the past week. Yesterday, 10,000 Hindus stormed police barricades outside the disputed shrine.
