Sabotage Thwarted in Israel Housing Under Way at Sharm el-Sheikh JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israeli po- lice disclosed the arrests last week of five French-trained saboteurs working for Arab terrorist organi- zations. The round-up was describ- ed as one of the biggest coups of Israel's counter-espionage service. According to Jacob Turjeman, a police spokesman, it forestalled a wave of sabotage and terror in Israel including a plot to hijack a TWA airliner in flight from Lydda to New York. Turjeman said details of the affair were passed on to Interpol and to the various police forces in Europe which led to the arrest of a group of terror- ists in Rome. He told newsmen at a press conference that the first arrest in Israel was made April 11 at Lydda Airport. Police seized two sisters, Nadia and Madeleine Bardly, aged 26 and 21, who were caught with forged passports and luggage filled with various types of high explosives. The girls reportedly confessed membership in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in France. Their father is Moslem and their mother Christian. On April 12 police arrested 26- year-old Evelyne Brage at Lydda Airport. The German-born woman who was raised in France was said to have been exposed as one of the PFLP members who planned the multiple airliner hijackings of last September. She also reportedly ad- mitted committing sabotage in a West European country. Police did not release further details. The most bizarre case revealed by Turjeman was the arrest of two French tourists at a Tel Aviv hotel last week who were found in pos- session of high explosives con- cealed in shoe heels, clothing lin- ing and in a lady's handbag. The pair was identified as Pierre Burg- halter, 69, and his wife, Edith, 60. According to police, the couple was carrying the most sophisti- cated sabotage device yet known in Israel. It consisted of articles of clothing soaked in a liquid which, when dried, become explo- sive. The Burghalters- allegedly planned to detonate the impreg- nated articles in schools and other public places. According to police the,gouple was paid $2,000 to corn- mit = sabotage in Israel. An Arab child was killed April 15 in Raffah in the southern sec- tion of the Gaza Strip when a hand grenade was thrown at an Israeli Army vehicle. No Israelis were injured. Three Raffah residents were hurt yesterday by another grenade. Security forces are in- vestigating. The arrests of five French-trained saboteurs in Israel last week has led to a number of arrests in France among extreme New Lef- tists close to Dr. George Habash's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. French police uncovered a large cache of explosives near Paris, presumably for use in anti-Israel terrorist acts in Western Europe and the Near East. According to local authorities, the five arrested here are cooperating with authori- ties. They reportedly admitted join- ing the PFLP and disclosed details of a mission that was intended to instill fear in foreign tourists by detonating bombs at hotels and other public places during the height of the tourist season. The ringleader, according to po- lice, was 26-year-old Evelyn Brage, a German-born woman reared in France. Police who questioned her said today that she was the mysterious woman who visited the hotel rooms of Palestinian commandos in Frankfort last summer prior to the multiple air liner hijackings that stunned the world last Sep- tember. She was seen in the corn pany of Leila Khaled and her American companion just before their abortive attempt to hijack an En Al airliner. Miss Brage was also linked by Israeli police to a million dollar *dock fire in Rotter- dam last March 15. Police said she was attempting to damage stored Israeli goods but touched off stores of refined oil by mis- take. Meanwhile, it was also dis- closed that a PFLP cell was un- covered recently by Israeli se- curity forces in the northern dis- tricts of Acre and Nazareth. Four members of the group were ar- rested while its leader, Saadi Jaateer of Bethlehem, escaped to Jordan. The cell was still in its formative stage and did not carry ,but any- acts-of. sabotage. ADS Offers $5,000 'Reward for Information on Bombings NEW YORK -(JTA) — Seymour Graubard, national chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai. Brith, announced that the agency will pay a $5,000 reward "for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the per- son or persons responsible" for the bombing of the Jewish Center of West Orange, N.J. The early Sunday morning blast ripped a gaping hole in the temple section of the brick and glass structure and caused extensive damage to other parts of the cen- ter's complex. Robert C. Kohler, director of the ADL's New Jersey regional office, is a member of the congregation and was on the scene shortly after the blast occurred. In making the reward announce- ment, Graubard called the bomb blast "an appalling act of violence which all Americans must abhor." He said the reward was being of- fered in the hope that it would hasten bringing the bomber or bombers to justice. * * * * * It '"1111111111W, 411111111•1111111. ■ Sign up for SAVINGS BONDS FREEDOM SHARES 'Graubard said the ADL is work- ing closely with temple officialS and all law authorities. The blast, which shattered win- dows, damaged structural beams, tore the doors apart and cracked the air conditioning unit, was touched off the night .-that JDL national chairman Rabbi Meir Kahane 'had been scheduled to address a meeting at the build- ing. ,- - According to the.;synagogue's spiritual leader, Rabbi Harold Mozeson, several placards had been' pasted in the town announcing the JDL leader's appearance on the night of the explosion. The date, however, Rabbi Mozeson stated, had been changed to May 2 and the posters were not cor- rected. Although Rabbi Mozeson declined to link the blast with Rabbi Ka- hane's appearance, he did note that it was a "strange coinci- dence." He disclosed that he and his congregants had agreed at a meet- ing that. - Rabbi Kahane's invita- tion for May 2 still stands," .,and that the congregants , weren't "go- ing to make our decision subject' to this kind of hooliganism." He dismissed the possibility that members of the Ku Klux Klan, who have stirred up trouble in ,Highstown, N.J., were involved in the bombing. Rabbi Mozeson told the JTA that Rabbi Kahane's ap- pearance would be the first in this North Jersey town, although he had addressed a meeting in a neighboring community, Living- ston, without incident. JERUSALEM (JTA) — Housing Minister Zev Sharef disclosed that civilian housing is being built at Sharm el-Sheik, the strongpoint at the southern tip of Sinai occupied by Israel in the 1967 war. That disclosure and Sharef's an- nouncement that a new settlement to be called Hitnahalut will be built astride the Eilat-Sharm el- Sheikh road some 50 miles south of Eilat, was seen by observers here as serving notice on the Arabs that Israel has no intention of ever withdrawing from Sharm el-Sheikh. Sharef said the new housing was in an "advanced stage" but gave no other details. He told newsmen that the hous- ing would be open to anyone who wanted to settle there. He said the most likely candidates would be army officers and workers em- ployed at Sharm el-Sheikh. Israeli leaders have insisted that Israel must retain Sharm el-Sheikh and an overland link to it no matter what final peace settlement is reached with Egypt. The strongpoint commands the Gulf of Tiran, Eilat's only ac- cess to the sea. The Israeli government has en- couraged local and foreign in- vestors to construct tourist facili- ties at Sharm el-Sheikh and along the road. Observers said Sharef doubtless- ly cleared the disclosure with the government before he met with newsmen. They said it was prob- ably intended to make Israel's position on Sharm el-Sheikh doubly clear in light of the new federation of Egypt, Libya and Syria, an- nounced in Cairo over the week- end. Sharef also reported that the first house built for Jewish settlers in the West Bank town of Hebron would be handed over to its ten- ants next month. It will house 12 families. He said that one house will be completed each month beginning next September. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, April 23, 1971-21 A Health Law Opposed JERUSALEM (JTA)—Hadassah Hospital's medical council said it would oppose a proposed new na- tional health insurance law on grounds that it would encroach on individual freedom. The council claimed the legislation would transfer governmental powers to the sick funds and to a national "health authority.". The major sick fund in Israel is Kupat Holim of Histadrut. Mrs. iChaika Grossman, chair- man of the Knesset's public service committee, conceded on a tele- vision debate that the undeclared purpose of the proposed law was eventually to concentrate all health insurance in Histadrut's sick fund.
