Factions suspend fighting in Kabul KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Two Muslim factions halted fighting in Kabul under a cease-fire agreement Monday after more than 200 people were wounded in four days of fighting, according to Red Cross figures. The government helped secure the truce between the Hezb-i-Wa-dahat and the Ittihad-i-Islami factions. Fighters from the government coalition took up position at the edges of embattled neighborhoods and said they had orders to use force to preserve the cease fire.

Since assuming power in April after ousting Communist rulers in a 14-year war, the provisional Islamic government has struggled to keep peace among the many guerrilla groups occupying various sections of the capital. Alt Mazari, head of the Iran-backed Shiite group Hezb-i-Wadahat, blamed "foreign hands" for provoking the latest round of fighting with Ittihad-i-Islami faction, which is backed mostly by wealthy religious fundamentalists in the Arab world. "I think this war was imposed from outside on Abdul Rasool Sayyaf," the Ittihad leader, Mazari said. "We believe many of his Arabs and some Pakistanis were killed in the latest fighting." Defense Ministry sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, complained that Mazari and his party are acting as Iran's agents in Afghanistan. Ministry sources said three Iranians a diplomat a doctor and a teacher were wounded in southern Kabul on Sunday when they were were fired on by government forces when they failed to stop at a roadblock.

Leaders push unity in Europe UNITED NATIONS (AP) -Rattled by Denmark's rejection of the European Unity treaty and France's ultra-slim approval Euro- 1 pean foreign ministers pledged Monday to soothe their citizens' fears of a "Big Brother in Brussels." But the European Community nations will push ahead for ratifica- tion of the Maastricht treaty "without reopening the present text" for renegotiations, the ministers said in a communique. The treaty, agreed in February, would establish a framework for uni- fied European economic, political -and defense policies, and a common -bank and currency by 1999. British Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd told reporters that EC leaders will hold a summit Oct.

16 in London to discuss the turbulence that hit Europe's financial markets last week, and the "preoccupations" of Europeans that affected the Danish and French votes. Hurd said the "preoccupations" cited obliquely in the communique refer to "the worry, the anxiety that has developed to some extent that' the European Community is out of. touch with the citizens that it is meant to serve." Dutch Foreign Minister Hans van den Broeck calls it "this fear of Big Brother in Brussels," the Community's headquarters city in Belgi-; um. The communique also stressed that the governments will remain committed to the European Monetary System. EC leaders previously have said that all 12 community nations must adopt the Maastricht treaty by the end of this year for it to go into effect Hurd, when asked whether the treaty would die if not passed by all 12 countries this year, referred to Ar- tide of the treaty.

That section says that if the treaty is not uniformly raUfied by Jan. 1, 1993, it will take effect the first day of the month following ratification by the last of the 12 countries. Diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said other members would press Denmark to reverse its June rejection of the accord. i But Danish officials said they would propose a limited Danish membership, probably one in which the Danes would cooperate in economic matters, but not in defense and foreign policy, diplomats said. It was unclear if this would satis- fy the goal of Foreign Minister Willy Claes of Belgium said his country "docs not like 'Europe a la carte' this is an option we cannot accept" He strongly favored a new referendum in Denmark.

Monday's emergency meeting I came the day after France approved the European union treaty by only 51.1 percent in a national referendum. "A somewhat larger majority' would have made us happier," van den Broeck said. Page 10A Marlen R. Dietmeier BIG TIMBER Marlen R. Dietmeier, 56, died Saturday, Sept.
