Arens specifically denied an NBC-TV news report that Israel asked the United States for additional aircraft and attack helicopters to help in the blockade of Iraq and Kuwait, which the Ira- qis occupied on Aug. 2. "I hear that the embassy in Washington has already denied the report, and I can only add my own denial to it," the defense minister told Israel Radio. He said Israel also has not asked the United States to speed up the delivery of weapons on order. Mr. Arens said Israel is not directly involved in the Gulf crisis, is taking no part in activities there and has no reason to intervene. But the crisis cold con- front Israel in its home waters. Iraq trades with Jordan across their common border and conducts maritime commerce by way of Jor- dan's only seaport, Aqaba, which lies within shouting distance of the Israeli resort town of Eilat. Security Stops Terror Bomb Jerusalem (JTA) — A ter- rorist car bomb plot intended to cause maximum civilian casualties in Jerusalem was thwarted by security forces last month, it was disclosed in a Ramallah military court Monday. The chief suspect, Wail Mohammad Musa Salame, a 31-year-old Jordanian citizen, was arraigned for the crime. According to the charge sheet, Salame was recruited two years ago by Al Fatah, the main faction of the Palestine Liberation Organ- ization, and trained in the use of arms and explosives at bases in Jordan and Algeria. In April, he was ordered to remove explosives from a secret cache in the Ramot forest and booby-trap a stolen white Ford to which police license plates were affixed. The plot was foiled by the suspect's arrest a week earlier when he crossed the Allenby Bridge from Jordan into Israel.
