UN Inquiry Into Mutilation
UNITED NATIONS
(JTA) — Secretary General
Kurt. Waldheim has ap-
pointed a three-member
military board to investi-
gate charges that Israeli
troops mutilated the bodies
of five Palestinian terrorists
who were killed in south
Lebanon Dec. 25 a UN
spokesman announced
here.
According to Waldheim's
spokesman, the Secretary
General decided to appoint
he board of inquiry for the
ake of "maximum objectiv-
ity"
in clarifying the con-
troversy between Israel and
the. UN Interim Force in
Lebanon (UNIFIL) over the
incident.
Israel rejected from the
start the charges regarding
the mutilation of the bodies
of the five terrorists.
At the beginning of the
week Israel's ambas-
sador to the UN, Yehuda
Blum, sent a sharply
warded letter to Wal-
dheim rejecting UN-
IFIL's version of the inci-
dent and sharply criticiz-
ing the way the UN hand-
led the whole affair.
Sources here pointed out
that Waldheim's decision
to appoint the board of
inquiry followed Blum's
letter.
Israel conducted autop-
sies last week which refuted
the mutilation charges.

Navon told a delegation of
kibutzniks that Israel's
kibutzim are "the Zionist
movement's finest crea-

Israel Suddenly Banned
From Book Fair in Egypt
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Egypt has suddenly banned
Israel's participation in the
international book fair due
to open in Cairo next week.
The move took Israeli of-
ficials by surprise and was
viewed by them as a serious
setback to the process of
normalizing relations be-
tween the two countries. A
Foreign Ministry spokes-
man said that the Israeli
Embassy in Cairo was seek-
ing an explanation.
Israel was not officially
notified of the ban. The
Egyptian agent commis- •
sioned by the Israel Book
Publishers Association to
set up the Israeli exhibit
was informed by the fair's
`organizers that the exhibit
would not be welcome. The
agent conveyed that infor-
mation to the Israeli Em-
bassy. Israeli diplomats in
Cairo are trying to persuade
the authorities to rescind
the ban.
The book fair was to be
the first international
event in Egypt in which
Israel would take part.
The Israel Export Insti-
tute has already spent
considerable sums plan-
ning the exhibit.
Although no official rea-
son for the ban was forth-
coming from Cairo, it is be-
lieved here that the Egyp-
tians feared repercussions"
from elements opposed to
any speed-up of normaliza-
tion with Israel. Fear for the
safety of the Israelis man-
ning the book display was
also expressed. 's
