Second Belgian
Exec Arrested

Brussels (JTA) — A second
shipping executive was ar-
rested last week on charges of
falsifying documents to con-
ceal the delivery of construc-
tion materials and chemical
products to Libya.
The government, mean-
while, announced restrictions
on the export of chemicals to
several countries. The coun-
tries were not named but
Libya presumably is on the
list.
The authorities acted after
Bonn admitted that West
German companies might
have helped build a chemical
plant at Rabta, south of the
Libyan capital of Tripoli,
which the United States said
is producing poison gas.
Two weeks ago police took
into custody Louis Gedopt,
44, director general of the
Antwerp-based Cross Link
Shipping Co. He is suspected
of having contacts with the
German firms trading to
Libya.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1989

(JTA) — The final Israeli-
Egyptian talks on Taba trip-
ped over a gaffe before they
even got started last week,
but the minor dispute was
soon resolved and progress
was reported at the morning
and afternoon sessions.
The issues discussed be-
tween the Israeli, Egyptian
and U.S. delegations included
access for Israeli visitors to
the Taba region, police juris-
diction and currency rules.
Taba, a tiny enclave on the
Red Sea near the Israeli
resort town of Eilat, was
awarded to Egypt by an inter-
national arbitration panel
last year.
The talks were about two
hours late getting started,
but things went smoothly, not
bothered by raucous de-
monstrators from Eilat who
insisted that the Sonesta and
neighboring Rafi Nelson
vacation village, resorts built
by Israelis, still belong to
Israel.
The demonstrators were in
boats offshore while Israeli
police kept them away from
the hotel.
The head of the Egyptian
delegation, Nabil al-Arabi,
who is Cairo's representative
to the United Nations in Gen-
eva, discussed "free access"
for Israelis to Taba with an
Israel Radio reporter during
the lunch break.
"As far as I am concerned,
access will be in accordance
with all the usual rules of

passage between one country
and another," the Egyptian
diplomat said.
He expressed hope that Is-
raeli tourism to Taba will con-
tinue and flourish after Egypt
takes formal possession.
He indicated that the issue
of Israeli access involved the
duration of the visit.

Embassy Status
For PLO Ripped

Bonn (JTA) — Heinz Galin-
ski, leader of West Germany's
Jewish community, has pro-
tested sharply the designa-
tion of the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization mission in
East Berlin as "The Embassy
of Palestine."
He said the East German
move last week was all the
more deplorable because East
Germany has no diplomatic
relations with Israel.
Galinski, who chairs the
Central Council of Jews in
West Germany, warned that a
German state should think
twice before taking action
that could easily be seen as
hostile to Israel.

Dutch Fugitives •
Face Extradition

Amsterdam (JTA) — For-
eign Minister Hans van den
Broek returned from a visit to
Argentina with a promise
from officials there that two
Dutch fugitives, tried and
convicted of war crimes, will
be extradited.
Both of them, Jan Olij and
Abraham Kipp, found haven
in Argentina after World War
II and became citizens.
The authorities assured
Van den Broek, who was in
Buenos Aires last week, that
their citizenship will be
revoked.
But the extradition pro-
ceedings will take some time,
because of legal formalities.
The extradition treaty be-
tween the two countries,
which dates from 1893, has
no provisions for war
criminals.

Israeli Embassy
Receives Bomb

London (JTA) — The Israel
Embassy received an explo-
sive device in the mail last
week, triggering a bomb scare
in the Jewish community.
Its representative body, the
Board of Deputies of British
Jews, has issued an alert for
suspicious looking letters and
packages.
The device sent to the em-
bassy was safely defused by
Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist
squad.
