Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel was
reported last Monday to be
negotiating a prisoner ex-
change to secure the release
of an Israel air force
navigator held captive by
Amal, the mainstream Shiite
militia, since his plane was
shot down over Lebanon in
mid-October 1986.
Yediot Achronot quoted a
report in the Abu Dhabi
newspaper, Al Ittihad, saying
that the negotiations are
being conducted through Bri-
tain and other Western coun-
tries. The paper said that
sources in Amal reported that
Israel is prepared to free a
significant number of
prisoners, but Amal is in-
sisting on the release of 810
Palestinians and Lebanese in-
carcerated by Israel for
security offenses.
The navigator, who has
never been identified by
name, was one of two Israeli
flyers who bailed out of their
Phantom jet. The pilot of the
jet evaded capture and was
rescued by an Israeli air force
helicopter. But on Oct. 21,
1986, Amal leader Nabih
Berri confirmed in Beirut
that the navigator was in the

hands of his militia.
Earlier, Israeli military
sources had discounted
claims that he was a prisoner
of Amal. Israel, in fact, denied
the Phantom was shot down,
saying it crash-landed
because of mechanical dif-
ficulties. In February, 1987,
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir told reporters that
Israel would do its utmost to
secure the release of the flyer
"alive and well," but refused
to comment on reports that
Berri had proposed a prisoner
swap.
Israel's official policy has
been never to negotiate with
terrorist organizations for the
release of hostages. But there
have been prisoner exchanges
over the years. The largest by
far occurred in November
1983, when Israel freed 4,600
Palestinians and Lebanese
prisoners, many of them ser-
ving life sentences for ter-
rorist acts, in exchange for six
Israel Defense Force soldiers
held prisoner in Lebanon by
Al Fatah, the terrorist wing of
the Palestine Liberation
Organization. Amal, however,
is not generally considered a
terrorist group.

Ex-Mossad Chief Recalls
Botched Munich Rescue

Jerusalem (JTA) — More
than 15 years after 11
members of Israel's Olympics
team were massacred while
held hostage by terrorists at
Munich airport, a ranking
Israeli military officer last
week blasted the behavior of
the Bavarian authorities and
police whose job it had been
to protect the athletes.
Reserve Gen. Zvi Zamir,
who was at the scene that
fatal day in September 1972,
offered his bitter recollections
in an interview published in
the current edition of
Bamahane, the Israel Defense
Force magazine. Zamir, now
chairman of the Haifa oil
refineries, was chief of
Mossad, Israel's external
secret service, when he flew to
Munich after learning that
the Israeli athletes had been
kidnapped by terrorists from
the Olympic Village.
He said the Bavarian police
and authorities did not
prepare even the most basic
equipment for a successful
rescue attempt. Their main
concern seemed to be "to
remove the affair from the

Olympic village and get on
with the games as quickly as
possible," Zamir charged.
He said that until the ter-
rorists forced their captives
aboard helicopters to take
them to the airport, the
Bavarian police had no idea
how many terrorists there
were. "We saw the sportsmen
being led to the helicopters,
bound. To see them led like
this, defenseless again on
German soil — that was the
most terrible sight."
Zamir said that he and ac-
companying officials of the
Shin Bet, Israel's internal
security service, were not en-
couraged by the Bavarian
police to offer their expertise
in dealing with terrorists. In
fact, they were clearly made
unwelcome and literally had
to push themselves onto a
helicopter that flew the police
and officials from the Olym-
pic Village to the airport.
There, all of the Israeli
athletes died in a bloody
shootout that ensued when
the Bavarian police launched
their botched rescue effort,
Zamir recalled.
