Nab Arab Hijacker
New York (JTA) — A Pales-
tinian terrorist nabbed by
FBI agents in Nigeria last
week and whisked to the
United States is believed
responsible for the brutal
murder of an Israeli woman
and an American woman
during a 1985 hijacking in-
cident.
Omar Mohammed Ali
Rezaq, who was convicted in
Malta of hijacking an Egyp-
tair jet there in November
1985 but released from
prison early, was seized last
week at the airport in Lagos,
Nigeria, and flown to Wash-
ington, where he was ar-
raigned.
It was the second time in
six years that U.S. au-
thorities have made use of
the so-called "long-arm
statute," which enables
them to prosecute terrorist
acts against Americans
which took place outside the
United States.
The New York Times iden-
tified him as a member of
the Abu Nidal terrorist
organization.
It is believed that pressure
from Libya caused Malta to
free Mr. Rezaq, who was ser-
ving a 25-year prison term
for the hijacking and kill-
ings. It was reported that
Mr. Rezaq, a Palestinian
from Lebanon linked to the
Abu Nidal terrorist group,
acknowledged at his trial in
Malta that he had killed the
two women.
He was released in
February, after having serv-
ed seven years of his
sentence, and went to
Ghana.
Mr. Rezaq's arrest was
made possible by delicate
negotiations involving the
United States, Ghana and
Nigeria.
Ghana complied with an
American request to put Mr.
Rezaq on a flight for Nigeria,
where he was apprehended
without incident after
Nigerian authorities refused
him entry to that country in
a prearranged deal with
Washington.
Mr. Rezaq was among
either three or five Palestin-
ian terrorists who hijacked
Egyptair Flight 648 from
Athens to Cairo on Nov. 23,
1985. Reports on the number
of hijackers varied.
Two other hijackers were
known to have been killed in
an inferno of gunfire from
Egyptian forces who stormed
the plane a day after it land-

ed at Malta's Luqa Airport.
The attempt was bungled,
and 58 of the 98 passengers
on board were also killed.
Mr. Rezaq, then 20, believ-
ed to have been the leader of
the hijacking, was critically
wounded.
The day before, Nitzan
Mendelson, 23, of Kibbutz
Hulata in Galilee was mor-
tally wounded by a point-
blank bullet to the back of
the head, as was Scarlett
Rogenkamp, a U.S. Air
Force employee from Ocean-
side, Calif. Their bodies were
dumped off the plane by the
hijacker who shot them,
allegedly Mr. Rezaq.
The hijackers separated
Americans and Jews from
the other passengers, calling <
names over the loudspeaker.
Surviving passengers said
that when Ms. Mendelson
heard her name called, she
was frightened and crouched
in her seat as if to hide.
A hijacker walked over
and tried to pry her out, and
a person wearing the
clothing of an Egyptair crew
member dragged her from
her seat on a hijacker's
orders. She was shot at the
door of the plane.
In response to Mr. Rezaq's
capture, Abraham Foxman,
national chairman of the
Anti-Defamation League,
said, "I welcome an ag-
gressive policy to pursue and
to bring to justice — proper
justice, not one tempered by
political expediency or
blackmail —those who have
carried out acts of interna-
tional terrorism, and espe-
cially directed against U.S.
citizens and Jews."
