Jordanian Terrorist Jailed;
More Tried in Brussels, Israel

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Milidos der Garabedian, a
32-year-old Jordanian be-
lieved to be one of the per-
sons who staged a hand gre-
nade and machine gun at-
tack on an Israeli El Al air-
liner at Athens Airport in
December 1969, has been
arrested in Fountain Val-
ley, Calif., by the Immigra-
tion and Naturalization
Service (INS).
Garabedian entered the
U.S. on a 45-day visa. After
the INS received informa-
tion about him from a U.S.
government source, his
fingerprints were checked
with the Greek government
and he was arrested on a
charge of concealing mate-
rial information in applying
for a visa.
According to the INS in
Washington, if this infor-
mation had been known, he
would not have been admit-
ted to the U.S. He is being
held for deportation. No
date has been set for the
hearing. In the 1969 airport
terrorist attack, three
people were killed and 50
people were wounded.
In Rehovot, the trial of
two Palestinian ter-
rorists, who participated
in the coastal road mas-
sacre 17 months ago,
opened last week before
a military court presided
over by Col. Aharon
Kalperin. The two ter-
rorists were represented
by an Israeli lawyer, Lea
Zemel.
Haled Mouhammed Ib-
rhim Housein, 22, and Ib-
rahim Mahmoud Fuad, 19,
are charged with 13 counts
of murdering 34 civilians

and injuring 73 others after
a bus full of passengers was
hijacked near Kibutz
Maagan Michael south of
Haifa.
The two terrorists were
part of an 11-member raid-
ing party which landed on
the beach near Maagen
Michael and killed, on its
way to the highway, Ameri-
can nature photographer
Gail Rubin of New York.
Housein and Fuad are the
only survivors of the raiding
terrorist group. The others
were killed in a shoot-out
with police.
The two defendants
admitted being members
of the El Fatah terrorist
organization and part of
the raiding group, but
they told the military
court that they did not
participate in the actual
shootings because the
rubber boat that brought
them from Lebanon cap-
sized before they landed
on Israel's coast and they
lost their weapons in the
accident.
The prosecutor told the
court that before landing
near Maagan Michael the
terrorists made three at-
tempts to reach the coast of
Tel Aviv, planning to take
over one of Tel Aviv's hotels
and then demand the re-
lease of jailed terrorists in
Israel.
But because of technical
difficulties and poor naviga-
tion they did not reach Tel
Aviv and landed instead in
Maagan Michael — many
miles north of the target.
From there, the prosecutor
charged, the terrorists, in-
cluding the two on trial,
started their rampage.

In Brussels, two Palesti-
nian terrorists, at the open-
ing of their trial here on
charges of throwing a bomb
in the Brussels Airport and
injuring 12 people last April
16, told the court that their
original plan was to seize an
El Al plane and take its
passengers hostage.
The two terrorists,
Khaled Dayekh Dokh
and Husseini Rad
Mahmoud, said that they
threw the bomb into a
crowded corridor in the
airport when they
realized they could not
reach the Israeli plane,
which arrived later with
its passengers from Tel
Aviv.
They said they wanted to
kill as many Israelis as
possible once it became
clear they could not take
hostages.
Meanwhile, Defense
Minister Ezer Weizman has
revealed that Palestinian
terrorists are being trained
as pilots in Libya for suicide
missions in which they
would crash explosive-
laden planes in Israeli
cities.
Weizman said, "We are
preparing ourselves against
the possibility of such at-
tacks." Ahmed Jibril, head
of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, a
component of the Palestine
Liberation Organization„
was quoted by a Lebanese
newspaper as saying that
his men were training for
suicide raids such as those
undertaken by Japanese
kamikaze pilots during
World War II if Israel con-
tinued its ground and aerial
attacks in south Lebanon.

Canada Construction Contracts
in Israel Estimated in Billions

MONTREAL (JTA) —
"When all the totals are in,
Canada will have drummed
up, in signed and pending
contracts, between $1.5 bil-
lion and $2 billion worth of
business in Israel," Lou
Ronson, president of the
Canada-Israel Chamber of
Commerce said upon his re-
turn from a recent business
tour of Israel.
Included in the list of
major projects is a contract
to redesign Ben-Gurion
Airport which has been se-
cured by the Toronto-based
architectural planning firm
known popularly as IBI, a
potential $1.5 billion ven-
ture to take over and re-
structure the Israel
government-owned tele-
phone and telegraph sys-
tem, and two major railway
infrastructure projects
which include the reopen-
ing of the long defunct
Cairo-Tel Aviv line through
Sinai, Ronson said.
The MI firm has secured
the redesigning of Ben-
Gurion Airport, including
extension of the main run-
way, an addition to the
existing terminal to be
finished by 1990.

U.S. Probes Aid for Egypt's
Outmoded War Industries

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The State Department says
the U.S. is studying how it
can help Egypt revitalize its
arms industry. Department
spokesman Tom Reston said
that no decision has been
made yet on what the U.S.
will do and all proposals will
have to be discussed with
Congress.

Reston said that William
Perry, director of the Pen-
tagon's Research Bureau,
has recently returned from
Cairo where he discussed
with the Egyptians what
assistance was needed for
the organization and opera-
tion of that country's de-
fense industry.

The proposed U.S. as-
sistance is within the con-
text of the Carter Ad-
ministration's long-held
policy, Reston stressed,
and would be aimed at
improving Egypt's
legitimate defense needs.
"We have been cooperat-
ing with Egypt in a
number of fields over the
last several years with
broad support from Con-
gress to pursue the peace
process and advance the
economic development of
Egypt," he said.
We have allocated a $1.9
billion program of military
assistance to help Egypt
meet its legitimate defense
needs," Reston added. "We
also explored whether we
could appropriately con-
tribute to Egypt's industrial
capacity and upgrade its

military equipment as well
as to produce such equip-
ment." Reston stated that
while no decision has been
made, "we would be pre-
pared, in consultation with
Congress, to provide some
advice and assistance that
Egypt may require in
mutually agreed areas."
