The United States strongly protested to South Africa the threat to American citizens and property posed by South African military patrols still in Angola. All South African troops were to have been pulled out of the country by April 17 under a U.S.-mediated agreement. The patrols--acknowledged by the South Africans--were, according to Angola, trying to sabotage a U.S.-operated oilfield that supplies 90% of its hard-currency earnings. The Angolans say they headed off an attack on the Gulf Oil facility, killing several South African raiders.
