Germany May Release
Hamadei Brothers
Bonn (JTA) — Germany
has turned down a demand
by Shi'ite groups holding
Western hostages in Leb-
anon to release two brothers
imprisoned here for terrorist
activities.
But according to diplo-
matic sources, the German
government is not ruling out
an eventual pardon of
Mohammed and Abbas
Hamadei, whose freedom
has been pegged by Shi'ite
groups to the release of the
Western hostages.
That appears to signal a
change of position for Ger-
many, which has come under
pressure from the United
States not to give in to the
terrorists' demands.
In mid-August, German
authorities totally rejected
any suggestion that the Pa-
lestinian terrorists be in-
cluded in any global prisoner
swap. A -high-ranking offi-
cial said then, "We can't
compromise on murder."
The United States is par-
ticularly interested in the
case, because Mohammed
Hamadei is serving a life
term in a German prison for
the 1985 hijacking of a TWA
jet to Beirut and the killing
of a U.S. Navy diver, Robert
Stethem.
The United States relin-
quished its request for his
extradition only after what
was then West Germany
promised he would be
treated as a criminal and ac-
cordingly punished.
Bonn's refusal to turn
Hamadei over to Washing-
ton had been premised on
the fact that the United
States imposes the death
penalty, which Germany has
banned.
Mohammed Hamadei's
brother, Abbas, was ap-
prehended in January 1987,
shortly after his brother was
arrested, and sentenced to
13 years for his role in kid-
nappings of two German
businessmen in Lebanon
following his brother's ar-
rest.
The two Germans kid-
napped on Abbas' interven-
tion were subsequently
freed. However, two more
Germans, humanitarian aid
workers in Lebanon, were
later kidnapped and remain
in captivity. Bonn is seeking
their release.
It is believed the Germans
and other hostages are being
held by the Shi'ite funda-
mentalist Hezbollah. Last
week, the group's spiritual
leader, Sheik Mohammed
Fadlallah, told German
journalists that the release
of the Hamadeis is one of the
conditions for freeing the
Western hostages.
"Either they all enjoy
freedom or none, " he was
quoted as saying.
Sheik Fadlallah accused
Israel of blocking the effort
to free the hostages by refus-
ing to release Arab de-
tainees and by demanding
hard evidence about seven
Israeli servicemen long
missing in Lebanon.
The Hamadeis' release
also was hinted at in a letter
the Islamic Jihad group had
freed British hostage John
McCarthy to deliver to U.N.
Secretary-General Javier
Perez de Cuellar.

Chiropractic Health Hints
WITH DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C.
DISC DEGENERATION
Many people who have had spinal x-rays have been told they have
degenerated discs and may have needlessly accepted the suffering without
exploring all treatment avenues which migh possibly help.
With age, almost all discs will degenerate due to a variety of factors
such as previous injury, genetics, and other unknown factors. Some discs
begin to degenerate at an early age. Many adults will have a single disc
in their lower back begin to "thin" by age 35 to 40 years.
When a disc begins to degenerate, it allows the joint to move improperly
DR. LEVINE
causing pinching of the joint. The term used for this is "impingement."
As impingement is the source of the pain, not the disc degeneration itself, treatment which cor-
rects impingement will often totally relieve the pain associated with disc degeneration.
Chiropractic manipulation has proven to'be a good method of correction of the impingement
associated with disc degeneration. In a large study of chronic back patients at the Department
of Orthopedics at University Hospital, Saskatchewan, researchers found that chiropractic manipula-
tion was 80% effective in relieving back pain. Many patients had disc degeneration causing joint
impingement and yet still had good results with chiropractic manipulation.
Anyone who has been condemned to a life of back pain because of disc degeneration should
consider chiropractic treatment.
