4rrorist Bomb Explodes in Jerusalem Market
JERUSALEM (JTA—Five
persons were injured, none
seriously, when an explosive-
filled bottle detonated in the
%Mahane Yehuda market
place in central Jerusalem
July 19.
One woman. Mrs. Sarah
Mizrahi, 44, was admitted to
Sharei Zedek Hospital with
burns, but her condition was
described as not serious.
The four others treated at
the hospital for minor in-
juries and discharged were
Cindy Louis, 11, of Akron;
Mrs. Yaffa Allegro, 50; Mrs.
Esther Metzger and Rafael
Dahovi, all of Jerusalem.
The American girl was treat-
ed for a cut knee.
The explosion occurred at
110:17 a.m. local time when
the narrow alleys of the mar-
ket were crowded with pre-
Sabbath shoppers.
The explosive device went
off in a plastic basket near
a pickle stand. The stand
was shattered and smoke
and fumes filled the area but
no panic ensued.
A hand grenade concealed
in a parcel of fruit was dis-
covered by a lifeguard at the
Lyddo beach in Tiberias.
Police said no timing device
was wired to the grenade.
Two hand grenades with
timing devices were discov-
ered in two movie theaters in
Haifa. Five Arabs were
arrested on suspicion of hav-
ing planted them.
The alertness of a bus
driver apparently prevented
a tragedy Friday at the Tel
Aviv central bus station,
overcrowded especially on
Friday mornings when thou-
sands of people line up for
buses for the weekend.
The bus driver, who just
arrived from Nablus, noticed
a small bag left behind by
one of the passengers.
With the recent revival of
incidents in which hand gre-
nades were found in seem-
ingly innocent bags of fruits
and food, the driver became
suspicious and called in a
policeman.
The bag was heavier than
usual and a police demoli-
tion expert who was called
in found a small explosive
charge wrapped in some
paper. The explosive charge
was dismantled without caus-
ing damage.
Israeli sources said that a
new wave of such incidents
may be expected as well as
a renewal of terrorist activ-
ities abroad . against Israeli
targets.
The Athens incident July 19
was seen as the first in a
new series.
In that case, Israeli El Al
security officials pointed to
the success of measures in-
troduced at El Al offices
everywhere in t h w a r ting
plans of an Arab terrorist to
break into the El Al Athens
office.
The terrorist, who entered
the office front door, found
himself facing a second door
which had been closed by a
security guard who had seen
the terrorist entering. When
the terrorist found he could
not force the second door, he
fled. Officials here said it
was possible he had some
partners but the El Al office
entrance was attempted by
one terrorist.
wen, a
70-year-old grandmother and
her granddaughter. They
simply evaded the terrorist
and left the hotel.
Miss Israel, Limor Sharir,
was in Athens to compete for
the Miss Universe title. The
Arab terrorist reportedly
demanded during his nego-
tiations with the Greek
authorities, that the Israeli
contestant be ousted from the
contest.
When Miss Sharir heard
of this she said: "Over my
dead body. I came here to
compete and not to run
away." She was kept under
close guard by special secur-
ity men and Greek police at
the hotel where she was stay-
ing close to the Amalia Hotel.
The terrorist was later per-
mitted to leave Greece on a
Kuwait-bound airliner.
The terrorist demanded the
personal protection and
"physical presence" of Greek
Vice President Constantin
Patakos to assure his safe
conduct.
During the four hours of
negotiations, the deputy chief
of the Athens municipal
police was wounded by his
own gun, which went off
accidentally, according to
eye-witnesses.
At 4 p.m lneal time, the
terrorist agreed to free the
hostages and left for the air-
port with the Egyptian and
Lebanese envoys.
Hijacked Plane Had Not
Undergone Security Checks
AMSTERDAM (JTA)—The
assistant manager of Japan
Airlines in Amsterdam.
Johan B. Kalkman, said here
that none of the passengers
on the hijacked JAL plane
had undergone security
checks because the Tokyo-
bound plane was not con-
sidered a security risk.
Speaking on Dutch televi-
sion, Kalkman said no secur-
ity officers ever accompany
JAL flights because this is
considered "dangerous" for
the passengers. He also said
there were never any secur-
ity checks during stopovers.
Fifty-six passengers board-
ed the JAL plane in Paris,
while 67 boarded in Amster-
dam.
The Dutch Justice Ministry
and the government aviation
service have confirmed the
absence of security checks
for passengers.
At Amsterdam Airport,
seven security teams of six
members each check passen-
gers according to a selective
system.
Since the Paris incident,
French police have decided
to try and check practically
all passengers and cargo
leaving French airports.
The new instructions were
applied to Japanese Airlines
planes and other major com-
panies whatever their desti-
nation.
Until now, French police
searched only planes flying
to "hot" areas such as the
Middle East. The police also
carried out checks when re-
quested to do so by the indi-
vidual companies.
A police spokesman said
that only one passenger out
of every six used to be
searched. He explained that
some 600 planes take off or
land at Paris' Orly Airport
during the tourist season and
that a more intensive search
rney also said that the other
hijackers were the Pralpa
couple from Peru, and two
Arabs, El Kubai and Akbar.
JAL officials told the Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency that
the two Arabs bought their
tickets on July 17 at a travel
agency, "A llied Travels,"
paying for their seats in
cash. The Peruvian couple
bought their seats on July 19
at the "Bedel" travel agency
and also paid their fare in
cash. Mrs. Per a 1 p a was
killed when hand grenades in
her handbag exploded shortly
after takoff.
Israel Minister of Trans-
port Shimon Peres said Israel
would not give in to the ter-
rorists' demand that it re-
lease Kozo Okamoto, who is
serving a life sentence for
his part in the massacre of
26 people at Lod Airport in
May 1972.
This was the only known
demand made by the terror-
ists when the jumbo jet with
123 passengers and 22 crew
members landed in the Per-
sian Gulf sheikdom of Dubai.
Immediately after news of
the hijack Friday, Lod Air-
port was put under heavy
security since it was feared
that the plane might be
headed for Israel. The alert
was relaxed toward dawn
Saturday after the plane
landed in Dubai.
Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan and Chief of Staff
David Elazar had been at
the airport, directing opera-
tions, but they left when the
plane landed in the Persian
Gulf sheikdom. Several cab-
inet ministers were with
Prime Minister Golda Meir
at her home here until the
alert was relaxed.
Hillel, in a radio interview,
said international hijackings
would not occur if countries
took "strong measures
against the terrorists instead
of playing around with them.
They are causing the contin-
uation of the kind of horrible
affair we are facing now,"
he said. "This negligence and
a certain tolerance toward
this kind of Arab terrorist
attack was encouraging fur-
ther assaults."
Tribunal Ruled Competent
to Try 10 Arab Terrorists
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Military Tribunal assigned
to the trial of 10 Arab terror-
ists captured in an Israeli
raid into Lebanon last Sep-
tember rejected Monday a de-
fense argument and declared
the tribunal was competent to
try the terrorists.
The defense had argued
that since the terrorists had
been captured outside of Is-
rael and had not carried out
any hostile actions in Israel,
they could not be tried in
Israel. The military court
cited previous precedents, ad-
vice from international law
experts and similar prece-
dents outside of Israel.
T h e Jewish Telegraphic
Agency had reported that
prosecutor Dan Ben Ner re-
jected an earlier similar ar-
gument by the defense, de-
claring that the question of
where the terrorists were
captured and how they were
brought to court was irrele-
vant.
He said that in the trial of
Adolf Eichmann, it had been
ruled that the court was
dealing with the charges and
izations and training for acts
of sabotage against Israel's
security. The trial ws post-
poned for a month pending
an appeal to the Israel Su-
preme court.
Action to Deal With Terror
Urgent, UN Committee Told
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
— The U.S. representative to
the 35-nation UN Ad Hoc
Committee on International
Terrorism told the committee
Tuesday that UN action to
deal with the problem was
urgent.
Ambassador W. Tapley
Bennett, deputy U.S. repre-
sentative at the UN, said that
"If the United Nations is to
be considered an organization
relevant to the needs of to-
day's world, it is going to
have to grapple with and
seek reasonable compromises
on issues of urgency, even
though approaches to such
issues may be greatly diver-
gent, as in the present case."
Bennett added that the U.S.
believes that the committee
"can and ought to make sig-
nificant progress in dealing
with our common immediate
problem — the export of vio-
lence to innocent persons."
He proposed adoption of a
convention dealing with the
spread of international ter-
rorism to third countries as
one that could be taken now.
John R. Freeland, the
British representative, said
he hoped the committee
would draft proposals to be
included in a convention for
the next general assembly.

Italian Communist Says Party Rejects
Arab 'Madness' on the Israel Issue
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Italian Communist MP Al-
fredo Reichlin told Knesset
Speaker Yisrael Yeshayahu
that although his party did
not agree with all of Israel's
political positions, it also
criticized certain positions
adopted within the Arab
world.
Reichlin, a member of the
four-man Italian Communist
delegation visiting the coun-
try as guests of the New
Communist -.Carty, said
Italian Communists "criti-
cized and rejected the mad-
ness uttered in their pres-
ence by some of their Arab
friends that Israel could be
thrown in the sea."
"We never had any doubht
about Israel's right to exist,
but at the same time, we
do not doubt the fact that
the Palestine nation exists."
The Italian delegation pub-
lished a joint statement with
the local New Communists
Central Committee urging
Israel to "fully implement"
UN Security Council Resolu-
tion 242.
According to the Com-
munist interpretation, it calls
for Israeli withdrawal from
all territory gained in the
Six-Day War.

Israel Shrimp
Price Disputed
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Shrimp,
an edible most Israelis have
never tasted because of the
kashrut laws, is now being
hotly sought here by Italian
and French importers.
A 'French importer has re-
cently offered $5 per kilo for
any amount that Israeli fish-
ermen can supply. Israel has
been selling the shrimp yield
to an Italian importer for
$3.50 per kilo.
Thirty tons of shrimp were
sold in 1972 and the same
amount has already been
shipped in the first half of
this year.
The Italian importer hear-
ing of the French offer has
arrived in Israel this week-
end to negotiate higher prices
for the shrimp.
Dov Scliiede, the fisher-
men's union secretary, said
in Haifa that Israel expects
to net $300,000 this year from
shrimp caught off El Arish
in the northern Sinai.
Five 'Israeli trawlers have
now gone exclusively into
shrimp fishing.
