Burial will Enjoy security and convenience in any kind of weather Moroccan force had recaptured the strategic rail town of Dilolo and attacked the last two villages in rebel hands. It appeared to be a final drive to end the 212-month-old war in Shaba province.

The government news agency AZAP said about 100 rebels were killed in the attacks on the mission villages of Kapanga and Sandoa. This would make it the bloodiest battle reported thus far in the conflict. It was not clear, however, whether the villages had been recaptured by the government force, and there was no word on government casualties. President Mobutu Sese Seko announced the capture of Dilolo, on the Angolan border about 200 miles west of the Shaba copper-mining center of Kolwezi. Dilolo was the first major town overrun by the rebels after they invaded from Angola March 8.

Mobutu did not say whether there had been any fighting in retaking the town. The government reports could not be confirmed because foreign reporters have been barred from covering the war firsthand. In Brussels, Belgium, a spokesman for a group claiming to speak for the rebels said he had not received word that Dilolo was recaptured but that even if it had been lost, "the struggle will continue." Some observers said the invaders in Dilolo may simply have returned to Marxist-governed Angola. The rebels, believed to con sist mostly of Luda tribesmen from Shaba, have tended to avoid contact with the strong government force as it pushed westward across southern Shaba in recent weeks. About 1,500 troops had been sent from Morocco to reinforce the Zairean armv.

The invasion and the counteroffensive followed the route of the Benguela railroad, which runs through Dilolo and carried Shaba copper ore to the Angolan coast. It has been closed since 1975, when Angola's civil war began. The invaders were believed led by separatists who fought an unsuccessful war in the 1960s to make Shaba, then called Katanga, independent from Zaire. Remnants of that force, led by the late Moise Tshombe, slipped across the border to Angola at the end of the war and the Portuguese, who then ruled Angola, allowed them to remain. EARTHQUAKE JOLTS SOUTH SUMATRA Jakarta, Indonesia (AP) An earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale jolted south Sumatra late Friday but there were no reports of damage or injuries, the Department of Meteorology said Saturday.
