A White House spokesman said that once such a force is established, perhaps one thousand American troops would deploy in Zaire, helping provide security at a key airport and along special corridors set up to get aid to the mostly Rwandan refugees cut off by recent fighting.

  • NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports from Goma, Zaire that shelling forced the suspension of the first attempt to deliver aid to the city today. Relief groups stopped passing out food after four shells slammed into the city. The shells presumably were fired by Rwandan Hutu rebels holed up in a refugee camp outside Goma.

The incidents underline how hard it will be to organize a massive aid effort for the one million mostly Rwandan refugees stranded by the recent fighting in eastern Zaire.
