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 Ezzedine • Kaiak, man- ager of the PLO informa- tion ,and liaison office here. Kalak himself narrowly & escaped death when a time bomb, concealed in 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. 355-5765 Mon.-Sat.
