Pro-Palestinian Killed in France,
PLO Blames 'Zionist Agents
PARIS (JTA) — A pro-
Palestinian militant, shot
to death by two uniden-
tified gunmen in the
Latin Quarter Monday,
was identified as
Mahmoud Ould Saleh, 38,
from Mauritania.
He managed an Arab
book store and was a sup-
porter of the extremist
Palestinian "xejection
front," a group that re-
fuses any compromise
with Israel. The killers
escaped.
The Palestine Libera-
tion Organization ac-
cused "Zionist agents" of
murdering .Saleh as part
of "a huge plot to liq-
uidate the Palestinian
revolution."
Police said Saleh was
gunned down while he was
closing the shutters of the
book store. He was the
fourth Palestinian ex-
tremist killed in Paris
since 1972 when the PLO's
representative in France,
Mahmoud Hamshari, died
when a booby-trapped
telephone exploded in his
home.
Saleh temporarily took
over Hamshari's duties
until the appointment of

&
escaped death when a

parcel, was defused be-
fore it exploded. Other
Palestinians slain here in
recent years were
Algerian-born Mohamed
Boudia, an El Fatah
militant who was blown
up in his car, and Basil
Kubaisi, who was shot to
death in a street.
