Police find arsenal at gunan' s home

The Washington Post
JERUSALEM - Israeli police say
they have discovered a weapons cache
"befitting a terror group" at the home of
° the professed killer of Prime Minister
M; Yitzhak Rabin, while the country's top
police official portrayed the assassina-
tion as the fruit of a conspiracy and not
the work of one man.
Two more suspects were arrested
yesterday, and at least five are now in
police custody - including accused
gunman Yigal Amir, a25-year-oldJew-
ish law student who told authorities he
shot Rabin because it was his religious
duty to derail the Israeli-Palestinian

peace process and block the planned
withdrawal of Israeli troops from the
West Bank.
"We believe there was a conspiracy,"
Police Minister Moshe Shahal told re-
porters, "a conspiracy between a group
of persons who had the infrastructure
and prepared their aims quite carefully.
Without the infrastructure supplied to
(Amir) by other persons, it would have
been impossible to assassinate the prime
minister."
Israeli television later quoted an offi-
cial of Israel's Shin Bet security service
as softening Shahal's assertions; never-
theless, the possibility that there may

have been a plot to kill Rabin could
heighten debate here on whether the
government should crack down on
armed Jewish groups that are implaca-
bly opposed to Israeli withdrawal from
the West Bank. Many of these groups
are legally permitted to carry weapons
for self-defense.
Rabin himself, both as prime minis-
ter and in previous cabinets as defense
minister, was reluctant to face down
militant settler groups, which on nu-
merous occasions established new colo-
nies in the West Bank against the de-
clared will of the government.
The discovery ofhand grenades, deto-
nators and plastic explosives shaped
like bars of soap at Amir's home in the
Tel Aviv suburb of Herzliya yesterday
sharpen suspicions that he was a part of
a group and did not act alone when he
gunned down Rabin in Tel Aviv Satur-
day.

Arafat visits
Rabin'9s widow
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Palestin-
ian leader Yasser Arafat made his first
visit to Israel since the peace process
began, visiting the widow of Yitzhak
Rabin yesterday night to offer his con-
dolences, Israel Radio said.
The visit was kept secret until Arafat
returned to his home in the autonomous
Gaza Strip, the radio said.
The radio quoted Arafat as telling
Leah Rabin that the slain premier was
"a hero of peace" and that he has lost a
personal friend. Mrs. Rabin replied that
her husband had considered Arafat "a
partner in peace," the radio said. The
secrecy that shrouded the visit reflected
the strong opposition in Israel to Arafat,

still reviled by many Israelis. Arafat
stayed away from Rabin's funeral..
It was not known when Arafat last
visited Israel. According to some re-
ports, he secretly visited Tel Aviv in the
late 1960s.

Swastikas
painted on
UVARabi
memorial:
The Cavalier Daily
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va- The
last thing fourth-year University ofVir-
ginia student Nadav Kaufman expected
when he came home to his dor ?itory
room was a swastika scribbled over his
memorial to late Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin.
Kaufman, a resident assistant, said
his immediate reaction to the symbols
was "shock" and "disappointment."
"(I) felt pain because (the unknown
perpetrator) treated a man who deserved
an enormous amount of respect with no
respect," he said. Kaufman added that
he was instantly reminded about the
Holocaust in Germany a half-century
ago.
Kaufman, who is Jewish, is one o
many students and members of the lo-
cal community who have made memo-
rials to Rabin, whom an Israeli law
student assassinated Saturday. Wi
no other UVA students have come for-
ward with examples of defaced Rabir
dedications, a local Jewish leader sai
he has heard of other recent incidents.
Hillel Jewish Center Director Davit
Chack said at least two other anti-
Semitic incidents have been reportec
on the Charlottesville campus in recen
days, but that he had promised not tc
discuss the details of the cases.
