8 Arraigned in Student's Murder
NABLUS (JTA) — Eight
suspects in the murder of
yeshiva student Aharon
Gross in Hebron last July
were arraigned in a
heavily-guarded courtroom
Sunday. Five pleaded not
guilty but the alleged leader
of the group, Ibrahim Sir-
bil, admitted to the crime,
saying he acted in "self de-
fense" against Jewish
settlers whom he accused of
terrorism.
Gross was stabbed to
death in the Hebron market
square and lay dying of his
wounds in the gutter while
his companions chased the
alleged killers who escaped
in a car. The youth was mis-
identified as an Arab and
was taken to a Moslem hos-
pital before his body was
turned over to Israeli
authorities.
The eight suspects are
charged with organizing
a "jihad" (holy war)
against Jews on the West
Bank to be conducted by
murder and sabotage

French Plan to Withdraw
Last Beirut Peacekeepers
PARIS (JTA) — France
decided last Thursday to
withdraw the 1,250 men it
still has in Beirut, the last
remnant of the original
four-nation multinational
force sent to the Lebanese
capital. There was no date
given for the withdrawal of
the French paratroopers but
French official sources said
they would leave "in the
very near future."
France decided to with-
draw its men after the
Soviet Union vetoed in the
United Nations Security
Council a French resolution
providing for the creation of
la UN force to replace the
multinational force.
Official sources in
Paris said the Soviet veto
dashed France's hopes to
have the UN step in to fill
the breach left by the four
powers' initial force. The
French were prepared to
wait and keep their
troops in Beirut as long
as they thought a UN con-
tingent would eventually
take over the task.
Most French advisers be-
lieve fighting will break out
anew in Beirut and
