A magistrate issued arrest warrants Tuesday for former Union Carbide Corp. Chairman Warren Anderson and two other company officials in connection with murder charges in the 1984 gas disaster that killed 3,100 people.

Indian officials today asked Warren Anderson, chairman of Union Carbide Corp., to testify before a judicial commission investigating the Bhopal gas leak that killed more than 2,000 people in 1984.

Federal safety inspectors "sandbagged" Union Carbide Corp. when they issued 221 citations against the company's plant in Institute, W.Va., the company's board chairman said today.
