tack by two terrorists at
the Istanbul airport.

In his letter, Yaacobi
revealed that had it not
been for an extra
checkpoint that El Al had
placed at the Istanbul
terminal "a far greater
tragedy could have taken
place" than the death of
four passengers and in-
jury of 24.
Yaacobi said that the
two terrorists felt sure
their baggage would not
be searched. He said the
terrorists left Libya with
the knowledge of Libyan
authorities and arrived in
Rome where their hand
luggage was not
searched. He said that
being passengers in
transit they were also not
searched when they ar-
rived in Istanbul. But at
the El Al checkpoint they
found they could not get
through without being
searched and thus
launched their attack.
Meanwhile, in Istanbul,
the two terrorists ap-
peared before a magis-
trate to be formally
charged with murder. The
judge told them that the
prosecution would ask for

the death penalty when
their trial starts.
Israel officials said
that the Istanbul attack
was made by Wadia Had-
dad, a splinter group from
George Habash's Popular
Front for the Liberation
of Palestine. The Haddad
group was also responsi-
ble for the hijacking of
the Air France plane to
Uganda, also with
Libya's blessings.
Meanwhile Israel said
that it will not seek the
extradition of the two
terrorists, contrary to
earlier reports that it was
seeking to do so. Israel
does not have an extradi-
tion treaty with Turkey.
The charge against
Libya received corrob-
oration from a passport
belonging to one of the
two arrested terrorists
and the flight tickets of
both which were in-
cluded, apparently by
mistake, with the re-
turned luggage and
documents of the Israelis
injured in the attack. The
passport was issued in
Kuwait to a Jassem Ab-
dallah El-Dawait, whose
profession was listed as a
student and date of birth
as 1964, making him 12-
years-old.
The flight tickets were
issued in Tripoli, Libya,
and were routed Tripoli-
Rome-Istanbul-Baghdad.
The four slain passen-
gers included Rosenthal,
Yakao Hiramo, a
Japanese tourist guide in
charge of a group of
tourists from Japan en
route to Israel and two
Israelis.
Criticism was aimed at
what was considered a too
hasty expression of ap-
preciation by Israeli offi-
cials to Turkish au-
thorities. It was learned
over the weekend that
while the Turkish sec-
urity personnel in the in-
cident acted promptly
and courageously in
stopping and seizing the
two terrorists, personnel
of the government hospi-
tals where many of the in-
jured Israelis were taken
were less than sympathe-
tic to the injured victims.
It was emphasized that
treatment of injured Is-
raelis taken to French
Hospital in Istanbul was
excellent.
Sen. Javits called the in-
cident "a stunning, awful

and senseless tragedy."
Rosenthal, 29, had been
an aide to the Senator for
the past six months after
having served for almost
two years as an economist
with the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund in New
York.
York.
Previously Rosenthal
had been a legislative as-
sistant to Sen. Walter P.
, Mondale (D-Minn.), the
Democratic Party's Vice
Presidential nominee,
and to New York Gover-
nor Hugh Carey when he
was a Congressman.
The U.S. government
condemned the "savage
attack" on El Al passen-
gers in Istanbul and the
hijacking of the Air Fr-
ance plane to Uganda and
hoped it would "prod
leaders of the world into
taking positive action on
the question of ter-
rorism. -
A series of anti-
terrorism resolutions will
be taken up by the House
after it reconvenes next
week.
At the United Nations,
Secretary General Kurt
. Waldheim condemned the
terrorist attack and said
he also "deplores the loss
of life and injuries which
have been. caused to inno-
cent persons."
In Jerusalem, Premier
Yitzhak Rabin said that
the assignment of the
terrorists at Istanbul last
week was to kill passen-
gers of the El Al plane
rather than to board the
plane to hijack it.
Rabin drew a parallel
between the Athens air-
port attack last year and
the Istanbul raid in that,
in both assaults, the ter-
rorists planned their ar-
rival at the airports to
coincide with that of the
passengers who were
their target. He noted
that security measures
for passengers in transit
are less tight than other-
wise.
Meanwhile, El Al offi-
cials reported that the Is-
tanbul assault not only has
not caused any loss in El Al
bookings but that on the
contrary, more people are
shifting to El Al flights.
French officials say
they are increasing their
security in the wake of
the incident.
Israel Justice Minister
Chaim Zadok said in

Almogi on Tour

TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Yosef Almogi, chairman
of the Jewish Agency, is
touring several Latin
American Jewish com-
munities.

and communal affairs, he
will also meet with the
World Zionist Organiza-
tion emissaries who were
