Rebels settle one issue
NZPA-Reuter Islamabad Afghan rebels based in Pakistan on Thursday settled a squabble over who should head an interim Government for their country and beganchoosing the team. But the consultative council meeting, or shura, remained bogged down in a dispute over the representation of Iran-based rebel groups. The moderate Afghan National Liberation Front led by Sibghatullah Mojaddidi ended a boycott of the meeting after Muslim fundamentalists proposed
an interim Government under Ahmad Shah, a fundamentalist United Stateseducated engineer. Delegates of all seven parties in the Pakistanbased main guerrilla alliance debated a proposed Government team at two shura sessions on Thursday at a camp near Islamabad. Guerrilla sources said two more sessions would be held today. An eight-party guerrilla alliance based in Iran has refused to attend the meetings, saying it was allotted two few seats.
