Jesse Jackson
Uses Contacts
Washington (JTA) — The
oRev. Jesse Jackson, who has
striven recently to repair his
strained relations with Jew-
ish groups, said he would use
his contacts in the Middle
East to help locate captured
Israeli navigator Ron Arad
and determine whether he is
still alive.
b Mr. Arad was shot down
Aver Lebanon in October
1986 and was supposedly
pi taken captive by a funda-
mentalist Muslim group. He
1 ■ has not been heard from
since late 1987, but his fami-
ly and some Israeli officials
believe the Iranian govern-
ment holds the key to his
release.
Mr. Arad's wife, Tami,
said in an interview that she
enlisted the Rev. Jackson's
aid because she believes he
can help pressure Iranians
*to release her husband. Iran
has not admitted to holding
Mr. Arad or to knowing his
whereabouts.
President Bush, con-
cluding meetings with
Israeli Prime Minister Yit-
zhak Rabin, said that he
, would do whatever he could
IOW locate Mr. Arad, but that
the United States does not
have much leverage with the
Iranian government.
Tami Arad said she was
pleased Mr. Bush mentioned
her husband's case, but his
► -0 statement that the United
States lacks influence "can
be damaging" to her cause.
"If he said the issue is im-
portant to Americans, that's
very good," she said. "But
my opinion is, when he says
there is no leverage, they
(the Iranians) hear him and
say, 'We can play games
now.' "
* The Rev. Jackson, who has
led previous efforts to
release political and
military prisoners in the
Middle East, said his experi-
ence could aid Mr. Arad's
cause.
"Our real strength is not
military strength. It's moral
strength," he said.
But the Rev. Jackson also
said his efforts in the Arad
case would merely reinforce
earlier attempts by others to
track the Israeli navigator.
"I don't think this is
anything so new," he said.
Over the past five years,
Tami Arad has appealed to
r numerous humanitarian
and political organizations
to locate her husband, but
none has discovered his
whereabouts or learned
anything about his condi-
tion.
