Arafat A Wanted Felon?
Not In The United States
Washington — United States
Attorney General Edwin Meese
has before him a proposal to
issue a formal warrant for the
arrest of Palestine Liberation
Organization chief Yassir
Arafat. But the chance that
Meese will issue such a warrant,
charging the PLO leader with
conspiracy in the 1973 murder
of American Ambassador to the
Sudan Cleon Noel remains un-
likely, White House sources be-
lieve.
Noel was executed by Palesti-
nian Black September terrorists
in Khartoum. U.S. intelligence,
at that time, intercepted a radio
conversation between Arafat
and the terrorists during which
the PLO chief is said to have
personally given the order to
kill the American envoy, who
had been taken hostage in a dip-
lomatic reception.
At that time, Arafat denied
any involvement with Black
September but U.S. officials
have since charged that the
"splinter group" was in fact
operating under the specific in-
structions of Arafat's El Fatah
branch of the PLO. They cited
Israeli-captured PLO document
in Lebanon to back up their
case.
A tape recording of Arafat's
alleged conversation with the
terrorists in Khartoum, it has
been learned, was actuallyp-
layed for the U.S. ambassador to
the United Nations, Vernon
Walters, when he was a high of-
ficial in the Central Intelligence
Agency in the 1970s. Other U.S.
officials have also heard the
warrant and to seek Arafat's ex-
tradition to the United States
along the lines of last month's
formal U.S. request for the ar-
rest of Mohammed Abbas, ac-
cused by the Justice Department
as being the mastermind behind
the Achille Lauro hijacking.
Abbas is closely associated with
Arafat's mainstream branch of
the PLO.
U.S. officials cited intelligence
and political reasons in predict-
ing that any similar legal move
against Arafat was unlikely.
They noted that U.S. intelli-
gence sources might be corn-
promised in publicly releasing
the tape recording. They also
said that the foreign policy
ramifications would be "too seri-
ous" in going after Arafat's ar-
rest.
Still, pressure from Republi-
can conservative circles as well
as from American Jewish politi-
cal activists in Washington has
been mounting on Meese to
issue the warrant. They were
encouraged to undertake the
campaign by the Reagan Ad-
ministration's forthright action
against Abbas last month.
Thus, the former number-two
U.S. diplomat at the United Na-
tions, Ambassador Charles
Lichtenstein, is said to have
presented Meese with a lengthy
paper outlining some of the evi-
dence against Arafat. Lichtens-
tein is currently affiliated with
the Heritage Foundation, an inf-
luential conservative think tank
in Washington.
One informed source insisted
that the Justice Department has
"plenty" of other evidence
against Arafat beyond the inter-
cepted tape recording. But that
source also insisted that the in-
ternational uproar which would
result from any such U.S. action
against Arafat was almost cer-
tainly going to prevent Meese
from going ahead with the war-
rant.
Even as the debate over
whether to try to arrest Arafat
continued, U.S. officials denied
that they have softened their
position toward the PLO in any
way.
They were responding to re-
ports in the Israeli news media
that Prime Minister Shimon
Peres had made such a sugges-
tion on Nov. 18 during a
closed-door briefing of the Knes-
set Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee.
The State Department said
the longstanding American con-
ditions for accepting the PLO
remain unchanged — namely
that thePLO would have to
explicitly and publicly endorse
UN Security Council Resolu-
tions 242 and 338 as well as Is-
rael's right to exist.
Despite the public
reaffirmation of
policy regarding the
PLO, some
American and
Israeli diplomatic
observers continue to
sense an erosion in
the U.S. stance.
Still, despite this public reaf-
fairmation of policy, some
American and Israeli diplomatic
observers continued to sense an
erosion of sorts in the U.S.
stance.
They cited Secretary of State
George Shultz oft-repeated
statements in recent weeks that
the U.S. would deal with any
Palestinian irrespective of their
"labels" provided they were
"men of good will."
During private sessions with
American Jewish leaders,
moreover, Assistant Secretary of
State for Near Eastern and
South Asian Affairs Richard
Murphy was reported to have
acknowledged that no real pro-
gress was feasible in the peace
process without some degree of
cooperation from the PLO.
There was a clear sense
emerging from the Murphy
briefings that the U.S. was still
anxious to find some way to
bring the PLO into the process,
beginning, perhaps, with a pre-
liminary U.S. meeting with a
joint Jordanian-Palestinian
delegation. The Palestinians in
any such group would not be
