RUSHDIE REVENGE FILM BANNED IN BRITAIN

British authorities have banned a Pakistani film that portrays author Salman Rushdie as a killer of Moslems who is finally slain himself, a published report said Sunday.

The British Board of Film Classification refused to license distribution of the film because police advised that it could be criminally libelous, the Independent on Sunday newspaper reported.

The film, titled "International Guerrillas," portrays Rushdie as the agent of an Jewish conspiracy against Islam. - Associated Press.
