BORRD CERTIFIED ALLERGISTS Metro Atlanta Call 255-9105 for names of Board Certified ALLERGISTS V / Shamir says no order given to kill terrorists after capture by David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA)—Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir acknowl edged that he had a “conversation” with Shin Bet chief Avraham Sha lom about killing terrorists cap tured alive but insisted there was never a standing order to do so while he was prime minister. Shamir made the statement in an interview published Tuesday in the weekly magazine Monitin. It was his second published commen tary on the Shin Bet affair since the Supreme Court gave the govern ment two weeks to show cause why it should not launch an investiga tion into allegations that Shalom ordered the killing of two Pales tinian bus hijackers after their cap ture by the Israel Defense Force in April 1984 and subsequently en gaged in an elaborate cover-up of the case. Shamir was prime minis ter at the time. With respect to killing terrorists taken prisoner, Monitin quoted Shamir as saying, “This was not an instruction. This was in the nature of a conversation between (him self) and Shin Bet chief Avraham Shalom and that does not mean you were supposed to kill someone who had survived an incident or escaped alive. It means you were supposed to try as hard as possible during combat. That does not mean killing in any circumstances.” In an interview published in Yediot Achronot July 2, Shamir denied that he had any knowledge of alleged irregularities in dealing with the bus hijackers until eight months ago. He was responding to intimations that he must have known of the events because the head of Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, is responsible solely to the prime minister. His remarks to Yediot Achronot and to Monitin contradict the state ment by Shalom when he applied for a presidential pardon last month, that he acted with “author ity and permission” in every aspect of the case. Shamir, who is also deputy prime minister and the leader of Likud, told Monitin that he was aware the there had been “a lynch and that IDF personnel, police, Shin Bet personnel and “ordinary people participated in it. He refused to tell the Tel Aviv-based weekly precisely what he had been told and when. But according to the Yediot Achronot interview, Shamir said he first learned of the alleged irreg ularities last Oct. 29, from Reuven Hazak, former deputy chief of Shin Bet, one of three senior operatives who brought complaints against Shalom to former Attorney Gen eral Yitzhak Zamir. TEL AVIV (JTA)—Hopes were dashed for an early end to the strike by 11,000 hospital nurses after a six-hour meeting between strikers’ representatives and offi cials of the Health and Finance ministries and Histadrut’s trade Shamir told Monitin that the par dons President Chaim Herzog granted to Shalom and three of his senior aides last month were “an excellent way of ending” the affair He maintained it would be unwise to press Shalom and other Shin Bet men by judicial means because they would react “like anyone else." He seemed to imply by this that they would fudge the facts to pro tect themselves. Shamir has flatly denied Shalom’s assertion that he acted with full “authority” in the case. He told Monitin, “It is not important what I myself did or did not know.” The presidential pardons have been challenged before the high court. The court asked the govern ment to submit, within a week, detailed information about the pardons. The justices made clear that they were not questioning the president’s exercise of his constitu tional right. But their intervention signified that the court might look into the validity of the pardons at a future date. unions department broke up in deadlock Sunday. The strike, which began on June 23, entered its third week Monday. The nurses rejected compromise proposals by Prime Minister Shimon Peres over the weekend and demanded that Peres meet with them directly. Sunday’s meet ing between the strikers and the relevant ministry officials, which was arranged by Histadrut, ended with walk-outs by both sides. The nurses reportedly rejected six different compromise propos als. The government says it is ready to negotiate the strikers’ demands for enlarged nursing staffs and bet ter working conditions. But it will not consider wage demands on grounds that they are inconsistent with the national wage guidelines. The strike has crippled health care services throughout Israel. All but critically ill patients and emer gency cases have been sent home. The situation at the hospitals wors ened Monday when administra tive, clerical and technical staffs called a 24-hour work stoppage to support demands for higher salaries. Meanwhile, doctors at two major hospitals held a one-hour strike Tuesday to protest what they say is the “apparent disinterest of the government and the employers in solving the problem.” Doctors have been standing in for the absent nurses for the past two weeks. They have warned they cannot long continue doing double duty. A Pubhc Service ol Tins Newspape* gB A The Adverting Council cUl We need your type.
