Tunisia may OK PLO
trial of, hijackers
JOHANNESBURG, South Af-
rica WP)-A historic summit
meeting between leaders of
black- and white-ruled Africa
appeared yesterday to be im-
minent amid speculation that
detente in southern Africa is
near.
The South African press re-
ported widely that the first
step toward settling the impasse
between the white minority and
the black majority in Rhodesia
may be taken in Lusaka, Zam-
bia, by the weekend.
THE JOHANNESBURG Star
said it was not known whether
South African officials would be
present at the talks to break the
Rhodesian deadlock which has
been the biggest barrier to co-
operation between Pretoria and
black Africa.
The Star said a break-through
on Rhodesia could lead to the
following six-point program for

ADDIS ABABA (UPI) - The
armed forces postponed a mass
corruption trial of former Ethio-
pian leaders yesterday, but
tightened the military's grip on
the jittery capital.
A spokesperson for the mili-
tary regime said the trial,
scheduled to begin yesterday in
the bomb-damaged capital, was
postponed to an undiscbsed
date.
THE ARMED forces held
about 140 former leaders seiz-
ed during the gradual fall from
power of deposed Emperor
Haile Selassie. The military re-
gime announced the executions
last month of 60 ex-officials for
corruption.
The ruling Military Council
imposed a 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. cur-
few on the capital in response
to two bomb blasts Monday end
a threatened explosion Tuesday.
Authorities reported detaining
eight persons in connection with
the bombings, which damaged
city hall and the Wabe Shebelle
Hotel.
Suspects in custody included
a former land reform official,
six army officers and the hotel's
former manager, a government
spokesperson said.

An informed guerrilla source
said yesterday that Tunisia has
changed its mind and will let
the Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization (PLO) try the four gun-
men who hijacked a British air-
liner and killed a West German
:{..passenger.
In another development, the
Arab newspaper Al Hayat quot-
ed Saudi Arabia's defense min-
ister, Prince Sultan bin Abdul
Aziz, as saying his country has
concluded an $860 million deal
with France to improve the
Sauditank corps and is shopping

their action.
If the PLO actually tries the
hijackers it will be the first such
tribunal ever held. Palestinian
guerrillas, including the eight
who killed two American diplo-
mats and a Belgian envoy in
Khartoum, Sudan last year,
have been handed over to the
PLO in Cairo, but never haveI
come to trial.
The guerrilla source, a mem-
ber of the PLO in Cairo, said
Tunisian President Habib Bour-
guiba and other officials had:
been persuaded to change their
minds on refusing to release the
four hijackers. Tunisian officials
had no immediate comment.
LAST WEEKEND Bourguiba
was quoted as saying he thought
the best solution was "to keep
them here in Tunisia. Besides
we promised them not to put
them on trial. They trust us and
we have to keep our promises.
It is a human problem and not
a problem of sanctions.:rihey
will stay in Tunisia until the
situation changes."
The Palestinian source did not
say whether or how the situa-J
tion had changed.
The informant said a member
of the PLO executive committee
who took part in the negotia-
tions that led to the hijackers
freeing the plane and personsj
aboard, would go to Tunisia tol
take custody of the guerrilas.
IN RIYADH, diplomatic sourc-
es said the Saudis went to the
French for tanks after the Unit-
ed States, previously the chief
arms supplier to Saudi Arabia,
refused to sell them its newest
model tank, the M60. It was
not known what the Saudi mis-1
States is seeking.
On Israel's front with Syria,
military sources reported t h e
Israelis have finished building
a line of fortifications across
the Golan .Heights. The Jerusa-
lem Post said the fortifications
cost $50 million and a "massive
effort" was made to camplete
the defenses before winter set
in.
In Damascus, Syria's govern-
ment-controlled newspapers te-
jected President Ford's concept
of a step-by-step approach to
settle the Middle East conflict.
"This represents a U.S.-Zionist
attempt to undermine Ara, so-
lidarity by offering partial
agreements instead of an over-
all settlement," said Al Baath,

THE SOUTH African Press

ernment officials from Rhodesia
and leaders of the African Na-
tional Congress which seeks
majority African rule in that
country.
Two African nationalist lead-
ers in Rhodesia, Joshua Nkomo

tion, may also attend the meet-
ing, the Star said.
