Mufti Is Not Regarded By
French as a "War Criminal"

No Extradition Demand Has Been Made to France Since
Yugoslavia's Accusation; Former Arab Leader
Accorded Privileged Treatment

By HENRY BRADLEY
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency War Correspondent)
PARIS, (JTA)—No extradition demand for the ex-Mufti of
Jerusalem, Haj Amin El Husseini, who was used by the Nazi in
an effort to arouse Hindus and Moslems against Britain, has been
received by the French government, following the Yugoslav ac-
cusation that the ex-Mufti is a war criminal. The Belgrade gov-
ernment has charged that he had recruited Moslems in Bosnia and
Herzegovina to fight against the Allies.
It is . doubtful, moreover, whether the French are prepared to
hand over the ex-Mufti with whom they have had good relations
over a period of years and whOm they once sheltered in Syria
when he was compelled to flee Palestine. In any event, it was
pointed out here this week to the -J.T.A. correspondent, a demand
for his extradition would have to come from some international
body, the United Nations War Crimes Commission, for example,
and not for any individual country. There has been no such de-
mand from the British Foreign Office.
When the correspondent sought to see the ex-Mufti, who lives
in the vicinity of Paris in a sumptuous villa with a beautiful
garden, he was told that the former Palestine Moslem leader was
not permitted to receive the press. The ex-Mufti is kept under what
the French call "residential surveillance," which also serves as pro-
tection for him, it is officially explained.
The French government does not regard the ex-Mufti as a
war criminal, and he is being accorded the treatment due to a
'great political and religious leader, and one belonging to an old
and illustrious family, the J.T.A. sorrespondent was told by French
officials. When the ex-Mufti surrendered to the French army in
Germany, where he had been working as Hitler's agent, he had
two secretaries among his considerable entourage. The secretaries
were brought with him to live in a Paris suburb but the others
were left somewhere in Germany or Austria. The French question-
ed him after his surrender, but officials decline to give any in-
dication of whatever statements the ex-Mufti made.
