French Court
To Try Touvier
Paris (JTA) — An elusive
French war criminal long
protected by the Catholic
Church will stand trial for
his wartime crimes, accor-
ding to a decree of the
Chamber of Accusations, a
high French court.
The case of Paul Touvier,
the 77-year-old former head
of the collaborationist Milice
(Militia) in Lyon, was reac-
tivated seven months after
his release from jail in July
1991.
He is the third Nazi col-
laborationist currently
under investigation.
Mr. Touvier's case is
unique. Twice condemned to
death in absentia on war
crimes charges in the late
1940s, he was hidden and
protected by members of the
French clergy until the
1970s, when he obtained a
secret dispensation from
President Georges Pompidou
restoring his personal prop-
erty.
By then, a blanket pardon
had been granted for war
crimes, and Mr. Touvier and
his family emerged from
hiding to reoccupy their
home in Chambery, near
Lyon.
Mr. Pompidou's action in-
furiated former Resistance
fighters. New complaints
were brought against Mr.
Touvier for crimes against
humanity, a category not
covered by the pardon.
Again he went into hiding,
sheltered by his church
friends, until his arrest at a
convent in Nice in 1989.
Meanwhile, Cardinal
Albert Decourtray, the ar-
chbishop of Lyon, opened the
files of the archbishopric to a
commission of historians in-
vestigating the links bet-
ween Mr. Touvier and the
Catholic Church.
The study, led by Catholic
historian Rene Remond,
found that the war criminal
was aided by clerics ranging
from local priests to an ar-
chbishop who was Vatican
secretary of state.
The other active investiga-
tions concern Rene Bous-
quet, former chief of the
Vichy police, and Maurice
Papon, a high- ranking offi-
cial in Bordeaux who or-
dered the arrests and depor-
tation of Jews from that re-
gion during the war.
Like Mr. Touvier, they are
charged with crimes against
humanity.
But it is widely known
that President Francois Mit-
terrand's . close advisors and
several of his Cabinet min-
isters oppose prosecuting
these cases for fear of their
divisive effect on French
society.
Israel Holding
Fatah Terrorists
Jerusalem (JTA) — Securi-
ty forces were reported to be
holding three terrorists
suspected of murdering Heb-
rew University Professor
Menahem Stern and elec-
tronics technician Eli Am-
salem in Jerusalem nearly
three years ago, as part of
their "initiation" into the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization's Al Fatah wing.
Mr. Stern, one of Israel's
most distinguished academi-
cians, was stabbed to death
in broad daylight during the
morning of June 22, 1989,
while walking from his
home in the Rehavia section
of the city to the National
Library on the university
campus in Givat Ram. He
was 64 at the time.
Mr. Amsalem, 39, was
knifed to death a month
later in his home in the
Nahlaot neighborhood in
downtown Jerusalem.
The three killers, reputed
members of a Fatah cell, are
also believed responsible for
the murder of an Arab
money-changer in the ad-
ministered territories.
The suspects, whose ages
range between 26 and 32,
were not immediately iden-
tified. They reportedly told
police they murdered Stern
and Amsalem as a "test" for
admission into Fatah.
Mr. Stern's murder shock-
ed Israel and much of the
academic world. Awarded
the prestigious Israel Prize
in history in 1977, the
Polish-born professor was an
expert on Hellenistic and
Roman culture and on the
period of the Second Temple.
Ironically, the police at the
time of the murder dis-
counted Palestinian nation-
alism as a motive because
Arabs rarely frequented the
area of western Jerusalem
where it occurred. Mr.
Stern's body was found in
bushes alongside the Israel
Museum.
