British Shut Eyes
to Arab Terrorist
Allow Rebel Chieftain
to Pass Through Zion
JERUSALEM (Palcor)—Fawzi el
Kawkaji, Syrian terrorist leader
who led the Arab uprisings in
Palestine for three months in
1936, touched Palestinian soil when
the plane in which he was flying
from Paris to Cairo landed at
Lydda airport, but he was not
molested by police though he has
been on their wanted list since
1936. No attempt was made to
prevent him from continuing his
journey. The arrival of Kawkaji
in Cairo, where the Palestine Arab
V
Higher Executive has moved its
headquarters, spotlights that city
as the new center of Arab In-
trigues.
After reportedly amassing a
fortune during his three months
as leader of Palestine Arab ter-
rorists, Kawkaji prepared to leave
the country when his headquarter
in an Arab village was surround-
ed by British troops.
Arab leaders in Jerusalem, pos-
sibly including the Mufti who
had not yet "escaped", intervened
with the government in Kawkajt's
behalf. It was charged at file
time, that as a result of this in-
tervention, the British troops sur-
rounding the village were ordered
to open their ranks.
Kawkaji turned up in Iraq dur-
ing the pro-Nazi coup d'etat in
1941 and fled to Berlin with the
Mufti when that abortive revolt
was put down.
He was allegedly captured by
the Russians during the last days
