Big Decline Cited
In Mideast Terrorism
Washington (JTA) - Middle
East terrorism declined
sharply in 1989, in part be-
cause of a dramatic reduc-
tion in operations by groups
affiliated with the Palestine
Liberation Organization, a
recent State Department
report said.
The department's annual
"Patterns of Global Terror-
ism" report recorded 193
terrorist incidents in the
Middle East last year, down
from 313 in 1988.
Of the 193 incidents, 155,
or just over 80 percent,
reflected violence in Israel
and the administered ter-
ritories. There were 250
such incidents in 1988.
The report found that
dissension within Abu
Nidal's Fatah Revolutionary
Council led to a decrease in
the group's operations.
Previously, the organization
was "one of the most active
and deadly terrorist
groups," it said.
In addition, various states
previously linked to terrorist
groups, including Libya and
Syria, "remained wary of
getting caught sponsoring
terrorists and reduced their
support," the report said.
But it added that "Iran was
a notable exception."
As far as Israel is concern-
ed, the report found a
moderate increase in the
number of Palestinians
killed in the administered
territories, but a decline in
the number killed by Israeli
security forces or settlers:
from 335 in 1988 to 304 last
year.
At the same time, there
was a sharp increase in the
number of Palestinians
killed by fellow Palestin-
ians, from 25 in 1988 to 128
in 1989.
Also in 1989, 13 Israelis
were killed by Palestinians,
compared to 11 the prior
year.
During the year, "PLO
hard-liners and Syrian-
backed Palestinian groups
outside the PLO attempted
more than a dozen cross-
border attacks on Israel,"
the report said.
It attributed three of those
incidents to "hard-line
elements in the PLO" and
noted that no Israeli
civilians were killed in any
of the attacks.
In overall terms, the level
of international terrorism
worldwide lastyear "declin-
ed sharply" from 1988. The
number of terrorist incidents
dropped from 856 to 528, the
report found.
The Middle East continued
to experience the largest
number of incidents of
international terrorism,
incurring 193 attacks, or 37
percent of the worldwide
total.
The report warned that
among the worldwide devel-
opments that could lead to
an increase in terrorism in
the future are "rivalries
among Middle Eastern
governments - particularly
between Iran and Saudi
Arabia."
Also cited were "emerging
alliances among Middle
Eastern sponsors and
groups, such as between Iran
and the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine-
General Command and
other radical Palestinian
groups."
The report also warned
that "although the statistics
on incidents perpetrated by
Middle Eastern groups
reflect a downturn, there are
strong indications that the
risk to Western and
moderate Arab interests re-
mains as high as ever."
"The Palestinian issue
remains unresolved, and the
course of the intifada will af-
fect the operational agenda
of several Middle Eastern
groups vying to influence its
direction," the report said.
