<p> COURTING MORE CHAOS
</p>
<p> During the week of riots following the destruction of a 16th
century mosque at Ayodhya, Indian police arrested nearly 6,000
Hindus and Muslims in a nationwide crackdown. Public order has
been restored, but the country's political crisis continues to
deepen. Within minutes of reconvening, Parliament erupted in
chaos as legislators locked horns over Prime Minister P.V.
Narasimha Rao's dismissal of three state governments ruled by
the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. Rao's move may backfire
if citizens demonstrate a preference for the B.J.P. leaders they
elected.

<p> WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?
</p>
<p> Once again, Khmer Rouge forces seized and held United Nations
peacekeeping troops. Initially 21, mostly Indonesian
paratroopers, were held for two days in a hamlet 100 miles north
of Phnom Penh by about 70 heavily armed guerrillas, who refuse
to cooperate with the U.N. peace plan; 46 U.N. troops
negotiating to free them were also briefly detained before all
were released. In a separate incident, the Khmer Rouge were
holding nine others from the U.N. under a threat of death at
week's end. The episodes cast doubts on both the U.N.'s
credibility and Cambodia's plans for elections in May.
