Premier Ian Smith said yesterday that Rhodesia will attack Mozambique if its troops actively. assist Rhodesian black guerrillas intent on overthrowing his white su- premacist regime. In an interview published in the Johannesburg Star, Smith said Rhodesia still has "plenty of manpower and financial capacity" and could handle the insurgency without South Africa's as- sistance. But he said Preto- ria's help wbuld be wel- come. Smith's statement that Salisbury will hit back if Mozambique gets into the guerrilla campaign was the first time a senior Rhode- sian official has threatened the Marxist-ruled neighbor with retaliation. Military sources in Salis- bury said Mozambican troops already are provid- ing backup logistical sup- port . for the Rhodesian insurgents, such as provid- ing transport to the border before the fighters infiltrate into Rhodesia. The Star quoted Smith as saying. "Rhodesia would attack Mozambique if its forc.: joined in the African natiunalist onsluaght on Rhodesi2." ,-???? ?

Kissinger said the United States had not been consult- ed about Syria's invasion of Lebanon and had opposed it. EGYPT AND Syria gave conflicting accounts of the attack on the Egyptian embassy in Damascus. Reports from Damascus said several hundred Arab students occupied the Egyptian embassy, burned its furniture and briefly took eight embassy official hostage. They said the eight men were released in goad condition when police arrived. The Egyptian spokes- man's version was totally different. "At II a.m. today, numerous Landrovers carrying Syrian intelli- gence agents armed with submachine guns headed for the Egyptian Relations Bureau (embassy). They 'surrounded the bureau and were joined by groups of gunmen who arrived in buses," he said. .The spokesman said they attacked the embassy and "destroyed its contents. smashed up radio and tele- phone communications fa- cilities and furniture and plundered the steel safes. "They also attacked bu- reau employes with knives. injuring one of them who had to be hospitalized, and set fire to the offices."
