Tel Aviv (JTA) — Two
members of the U.N.
peacekeeping force in
southern Lebanon were
killed and six were wounded
in separate encounters with
heavily armed Palestinian
terrorists over the weekend.
The most serious incident
occurred in Israel's so- called
security zone in southern
Lebanon. The fatalities were
a Swedish soldier of the
United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon and one of
six seaborne terrorist
raiders.
Five Swedish and French
UNIFIL troops and one ter-
rorist were wounded and
four terrorists were captured
in a gun battle UNIFIL
seems to blame on Israel
Defense Force soldiers or
their South Lebanon Army
allies, who were nearby at
the time.
In the second incident, one
Nepalese soldier of UNIFIL
was killed and another
wounded when their patrol
was fired on by two ter-
rorists near Yatar village,
just north of the security
zone.
One of the gunmen was
killed by return fire while
the other escaped. No identi-
fication papers were found
on the body.
But the terrorists involved
in the earlier events belong-
ed to the mainstream Al
Fatah wing of the Palestine
Liberation Organization, ac-
cording to one of them, who
was captured by the SLA
and handed over to the IDF
for questioning.
The other three, captured
by UNIFIL, were turned
over to the Lebanese regular
army in Beirut.
Their mission was to at-
tack the Israeli coastal city
of Nahariya from the sea,
"to kill citizens," the man
held by the IDF said at a
news conference in Tel Aviv.
But because of a
"navigational error," they
landed at Nakoura, on the
southern Lebanon coast just
north of the Israeli border,
he said. He denied a UNIFIL
report that the raiding party
was driven off by Israeli
gunboats.
The six marauders came in
two motorized dinghies. The
first three men to land were
captured without a fight by
French UNIFIL troops.
The second boatload,
which came ashore about
1,600 feet from the Israeli
border, surprised unarmed
French soldiers on an early

morning jog and Swedish
soldiers taking a driving
lesson. The Swedes had
arrived in the region only
the day before.
A French colonel came to
negotiate for the release of
the UNIFIL men, who were
taken hostage. At that point,
versions of events differ.
A UNIFIL spokesman said
IDF and SLA forces nearby
had been asked not to
intervene for the safety of
the hostages. Nevertheless,
fire was opened leading to a
general shooting match in
which the casualties oc-
curred, according to the
UNIFIL officer.
He said the initial shot
was fired "probably by an
SLA man."
The SLA and IDF have de-
nied they fired any shots.
The terrorist questioned
by the IDF identified himself
as Rabia Salman Awad Abu

Shebab, 21. He said he was a
Palestinian born in Jordan
to parents from Bethlehem
who originally lived in Beer-
sheba.
Abu Shebab — "shebab"
means "guy" or "youth" and
is the sobriquet used com-
monly among intifada ac-
tivists — said he joined the
PLO in Jordan in 1989 and
was sent to Libya the follow-
ing year for five months'
training in the use of boats
and personal weapons.
He said his trainers were
Libyan soldiers, who wore no
insignia of rank, and a
Fatah officer named Sheik
Akram Harawi. He said it
was Sheik Harawi who gave
final instructions to the
leader of his mission, Abu
Imad.
He said they were ordered
to deny membership in Al
Fatah if captured and say
they belonged to a newly
formed group called the
Salaam (peace) Organiza-
tion.
"The Fatah movement
didn't want to be identified
with the operation if it fail-
ed," said Abu Shebab.
