U.S. Chides Israel Over Yugoslav TV Deal

JERUSALEM--The United States is "furious" with Israel for allowing the
pariah Yugoslav government to use the Israeli Amos-1 satellite for
television broadcasts, a U.S. official said.

An official with Spacecom, which operates Amos-1, said the company has
stopped the broadcasts by order of the Israeli government.

The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Secretary of
State Madeleine K. Albright raised the issue with Israeli Prime Minister
Ehud Barak at a summit in Oslo this week.

In Washington, State Department spokesman James P. Rubin said, "We
are deeply concerned about this cooperation that has enabled [Yugoslav
President Slobodan] Milosevic's propaganda machine to stay on the air in
certain areas."
