WORLD IN BRIEF : LIBERIA : Hundreds Panic, Flee Army Searches
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Hundreds of Liberians fled in panic after soldiers made house-to-house searches in the capital, Monrovia, and fired at a fishing boat suspected of carrying rebels. Earlier, troops also fired into the Nigerian Embassy, where 150 people had sought refuge from the six-month-old civil war. The latest disturbances came as peace talks resumed in neighboring Sierra Leone between delegations representing the Liberian rebels and the embattled government of President Samuel K. Doe.
