Shoot, Starve Orders LUNDON (Reuters)--A. self- stylea former white mercenary in the white Katangan army told Friday night of "shoot and starve" orders issued for opera- tions against Baluba tribesmen. Charles Griffiths, whose for- mer mercenary status was backed up by the British Broad- eating Corporation, told his stcry on a BBC radio program. Griffiths, said to come from Midolesbrough in northern Eng- lana recalled (ighting against the Baiubas while a member of ';aianang President Moise Tshombe's forces. An interviewer asked him if men, women and children were included in the operation and Griffiths replied "Our instruc- tions were 'shoot the lot; if you do not shoot them, _ starve) them' " | Issued 'fhe interviewer asked Griff- iths 1 he did not feel unhappy working in "that kind of setup." "No," he replied. "I thought it was a great life, no regular hevrs. no clocking on and off, A}) che time you knew the money was piling up in the bank." Discussing the. Baluba cam- paign, Griffiths said: "We came to a village and if they did not get out of it quick, then brrr bri) They had only bows and arrows." r He was asked if he had killed anyone himself. "Not. very many, I think. You cannot tell. You jump out of the jeep and start firing with automatic rifles. You do not know if it is your bull that kills them."
