Arab- Terrorist Units Active in- West Germany

BONN (JTA) — Ten Arab and
Palestinian terrorist- organizations
are active in West Germany,
political circles here stated. Some
3,000 of the 27,000 Arabs now liv-
ing in West Germany are either
members of these bodies or help
them in one way or the other, the
circles said.
The "contacts" of the men who
recently hijacked a Lufthansa
jumbo jet also are to be found
among these Arabs, and most
probably still live under Bonn's
jurisdiction, these circles added.
One , of the largest reservoirs of
Arab terrorist manpower in West
Germany is the Maoist "Union of
Arab Students," which has 11
branches throughout Germany. Of-
ficially, their membership - is only
150, but more Arab young men
are associated with them.
Slightly larger is the "Arab
Students Organization" with a total
membership of 300. This organiza-
tion has 15 branches throughout
Germany.
Another Maoist organization is
the "General Union of Libyan
Students."

Among the outright terrorist
organizations are the "Popular
Front for the Liberation of the
Occupied Territories in the Arab
Gulf" which a terrorist brigade
active in West Berlin, and the
"National - Union of Popular
Forces," a Moroccan anti-mon-
archist movement, also very ac-
tive among-students.

The biggest Arab movement by
far is El Fatah, with 1,500 mem-
bers and supporters throughout
Germany. It influence the 27
branches of the "General Union
of Palestinian Students."

There-also is a "General Union
of Palestinian Workers" whose 24
German branches likewise are
under Fatah influence. -
The ' "Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine" (PFLP),
which is directed by Dr. George
Habash, was declared an illegal
organization two years ago during
the great- airplane scare. It is,
however, still active in Germany.
Some 120 Arabs are presently
in. West German jails, 33 of them
'n West Berlin alone. Not all of
them are connected with political
offenses.
The Arab organizations and
the c I a ndestine Palestinian
group are reported to be in close
contact with the German new
left and Arab embassies.

The German Cabinet has given

instructions to- the intelligence
services and detective forces to
root out terrorists from among the
Arabs living in Germany. This
gives some credence to the belief
within German political circles
that it is this shadow-army of the
Arab underground which will feel
the brunt of the minister of trans-
port's fury.
