Bonn (JTA) — The Egyp-
tian government has sub-
mitted a weapons shopping
list to West Germany and
would also like to manufac-
ture German tanks in Egypt
under a licensing agree-
ment.
The request was made by
the Egyptian defense minis-
ter, Abu Ghazala, at a meet-
ing last week in Cairo with
Bonn's deputy foreign
minister, Juergen Moel-
lemann. Moelleman told re-
porters that the govern-
ment has not yet decided to
approve the arms sales to
Egypt. It is understood,
hr -ver, that it is giving
fa ,ble consideration to
the Egyptian requests.
Cairo would like to pur-
chase Gepart anti-aircraft
armored vehicles, Roland
anti-aircraft systems, Mar-
der armored troop-carriers
and scores of electronic sys-
tems for military use.
Egypt is also seeking
license to assemble a new
West German light tank,
which they would call
"Fand" (Leopard) at a plant
near Cairo. The tank is not

identical to West Germa-
ny's Leopard I or Leopard
II — the latter regarded by
military experts as the best
tank in the world — but
would be built in coopera-
tion with the Krauss Maffei
Co. which builds the two
Leopards at its Munich
plant.
Ghazala visited Bonn last
year to negotiate directly
with the manufacturers and
to meet with his West Ger-
man counterpart, Manfred
Woerner.

Tel Aviv (JTA) — IDF

The discovery by a

either at Israeli Galilee set-
tlements or at IDF units in
