FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1991
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel
has participated in more
than 10 major prisoner
exchanges since 1956,
trading thousands of Arab
detainees for handfuls of
Israeli prisoners of war.
The Israel Defense Force
disclosed that Israel has
released over 10,000 Arab
POWs in exchange for 30
Israelis held by various Arab
states or terrorist organiza-
tions.
In two cases, swaps were
made for hijacked airline
passengers. In one, for a
plane.
The first important
prisoner exchange was
negotiated in 1956, after the
Sinai campaign. Israel
released 5,500 Egyptian
soldiers for four Israeli
POWs and the body of a fifth
soldier killed in action.
Subsequent trades were:
• In 1968, 15 terrorists
were freed in exchange for
passengers aboard a hijack-
ed El Al plane.
• In 1969, Israel released
71 Egyptian and Syrian
soldiers and seven terrorists
for two IDF soldiers and the
bodies of two others.
• In 1971, a senior com-
mander of Al Fatah was
released in exchange for a
kidnapped Israeli wat-
chman, in a rare one-for-one
swap.
• Soon afterward, Israel
released more PLO prisoners
in exchange for an El Al jet,
which had been highjacked
to Algiers.
• In 1979, an Israeli
soldier captured by George
Habash's Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine
was exchanged in Geneva
for 76 security prisoners.
• In 1983, Israel released
4,600 terrorists of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization in return for six IDF
soldiers captured in the Leb-
anon war.
• In 1984, six Israeli
prisoners and the bodies of
five others were swapped for
291 Syrian POWs and 20
Golan Heights residents ar-
rested for resisting Israeli
soldiers, plus the bodies of 72
Syrian soldiers.
• In May 1985, three IDF
soldiers were traded for
1,150 terrorists in a swap
with Ahmed Jabril's Pop-
ular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine-General Com-
mand.
• In July 1985, a phased
release of 735 Shi'ite de-
tainees from Atlit prison
camp began after 39 remain-
15622 West 10 Mile
(1 Blk. West of Greenfield)
ing passengers of a hijacked
TWA jet were freed by its hi-
jackers in Beirut.
Israel insisted the releases
were not linked, saying the
first 300 of the 750 detainees
would have been freed
earlier had it not been for
the hijacking and hostage-
taking. But the release was
the main demand of the
Lebanese Shi'ite hijackers.
The hijack leader,
Mohammed Hamadei, is
now serving a life sentence
in a German prison. His
release, and that of his
brother, imprisoned for
subsequent kidnappings in
Lebanon, were referred to as
part of a desired global
prisoner swap, in the letter
Islamic Jihad sent to U.N.
Secretary-General Javier
Perez de Cuellar with freed
British hostage John Mc-
Carthy.
German Admits
Role In Libya
Bonn (JTA) — A chemical
company executive has ad.
mitted in court that he knew
as early as 1986 that his
`firm was illegally sending
Libya the material and
technology to build a poison
gas factory at Rabta.
Eugen Lang, who worked
for Imhausen-Chemie A.G.,
produced a check for 225,000
marks (about $130,000) in a
Mannheim court, saying,
"This was my bonus from
the unlawful Rabta project. I
am hereby giving it away."
He said he sent a check for
a similar amount to the in-
come tax authorities.
Lang is one of three
Imhausen executives on
trial for violating German
export laws by the clandes-
tine shipment of restricted
materials to Libya.
Jurgen Hippenstiel-
Imhausen, founder and
former manager of the
chemical plant, is serving a
five-year prison term in
Mannheim for his role in the
Rabta project. He is reported
to be doing "business as
usual" from his prison cell.
When Britain declared war
on Turkey in October 1914
there were some 45,000 Jews
and 25,000 Arabs in
Jerusalem. During the war
the overall population fell
sharply, to fewer than
45,000. Several thousand
Jews were deported to Con-
stantinople, while many
Arabs and Jews died of
disease and famine.
