Hijackers toss
body from plane
TUNIS (UPI) - Arab com
mandos pushed one of then
hostages to the rear door of a
hijacked British jetliner today,
shot him to death and hurled
his body onto the runway at the
Carthage-Tunis Airport.
The official Tunisian newsa
gency TAP said the murdered
hostage was identified as
Werner Gustav Kehl, a 43-year
old Zurich bank director.
The hijackers threatened to
kill their 40 hostages one by one
until their demands for the
release of 13 convicted Pales
tinian terrorists are met.
TAP quoted Tunisian Foreign
Minister Habib Chatti as saying
one of the hostages has been
“executed.”
The hijackers, who reportedly
belong to a maverick guerrilla
group opposed to Yasser
Arafat, chairman of the Pales
tinian Liberation Organization,
seized the British Airways VCIO
Thursday night in the Persian
Gulf shiekhdom of Dubai.
After a hopscotch refeuling
flight across the Mediterranean
coast and northern Africa, the
hijackers forced the pilot to
land in Tunis and demanded
the release of 13 convicted
Palestinian terrorists by the
Egyptian government.
The Tunisian government
said the 13 guerrillas arrived at
the airport about 1:30 a.m.
(7:30 p.m. Friday EST).
Sources later said only one
guerrilla was flown from Cairo
to Tunis.
The prisoner was accom
panied by a PLO official
identified as Falah Khalaf,
Yasser Arafat’s right-hand
man.

Airport witnesses said near
8:30 a.m. persons were seen
standing at the open rear door
of the plane and a pistol shot
was heard then a body was
hurled from the plane onto the
runway.
The body was placed on a
stretcher and carried to an
ambulance that left the airport
at high speed. The victim’s
condition was not known.
Egypt turned the 13 convicted
murders and hijackers over to
the PLO, but the guerrilla
group said it was holding the 13
“at a villa somewhere in
Cairo” and did not intend to
hand them over to the
commandos.
The PLO called the hijackers
“saboteurs who are in no way
related to the Palestinian
armed struggle or to any
Palestinian organization.”
The 13 prisoners whose
freedom is demanded by the
hijackers include eight men
convicted of killing two Ameri
cans and a Belgian diplomat at
Khartoum, the Sudan, in
March, 1973.
Although the PLO denied the
Egyptian plane arrived in
Tunis, Tunisian government
officials said the aircraft with
the 13 arrived in the capital
and a second plane carrying Al
Fathah officials from Cairo
arrived moments later.
One of the Al Fatah officials
on board was tentatively
identified as Falah Khalaf, the
No. 2 man to Arafat.
Arafat heads both Al Fatah
and the PLO, which is the
umbrella group for most
Palestinian guerrilla organiza
tions.
The VCIO traveling from
London to the Far East was
hijacked on the ground in
Dubai Thursday night when the
gunmen boarded it in a spray
of bullets.
One stewardess was wounded
and several passengers es
caped, airline officials said.
The plane, with 47 persons
aboard, then flew to Tunisa
after a stopover in Tripoli,
Libya.
Two Indian women dressed in
saris and two children were
freed Friday evening. The
women told an Indian diplomat
all passengers aboard the
aircraft were in good condition
and there were no injured
among them.
The women said many of the
passengers were Indians re
turning home to Calcutta.
Early this morning the
gunmen negotiated with Arab
officials and diplomats sta
tioned in the control tower of
the Tunis-Carthage airport.
Control tower personnel said
the hijackers negotiated calmly
and confidently with Tunisian
Interior Minister Tahar Belk
hoja and Egyptian Ambassador
Hassan Maiel.
The four-engined, silver plane
was illuminated by spotlights
on the airport runway, sur
rounded by scores of army
trucks and ambulances.
Canada
cuts oil
to U.S.
OTTAWA (UPI) - Canada
has moved to protect its
dwindling oil reserves with a
plan that will cut oil exports to
the United States by 100,000
barrels a day on Jan. 1 and
possibly halt all exports within
10 years.
Energy Minister Donald Mac-
Donald told the House of
Commons Friday the National
Energy Board forecasts Canada
will lose self-sufficiency in oil
by the early 1980 s unless
exports are drastically reduced.
Canada now produces about 2
million barrels of crude oil per
day of which about half is for
domestic use and the remain
der is exported. The United
States now imports an average
of 900,000 barrels daily from
Canada.
MacDonald said Canadian
exports to the United States
would be cut to 800,000 barrels
a day on Jan. 1 and he will
meet with the premiers of the
western oil-producing provinces
to obtain approval for a further
reduction to 650,000 barrels a
day in July, 1975.
MacDonald’s statement was
generally welcomed by opposi
tion members.
Conservative spokesman
Alvin Hamilton said it was “a
report of confidence in the
future of Canada, even though
we have a 10-year difficult
period to get through.”
New Democratic Party
spokesman T. C. Douglas said
he was happy to see the federal
government moving to protect
Canada’s fast-depleting oil re
sources, but asked if the phase
out couldn’t be made quicker.
PLO enters new
By BRUCE W. MUNN
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) —
The Palestine Liberation Or
ganization began a new phase
of its existence today, armed
with U.N. recognition of its
legitimacy and a vow to
continue its guerrilla struggle.
The General Assembly Fri
day night concluded its 10-day
debate on Palestine by over
whelmingly voting, 89-8 with 37
abstentions, to endorse creation
of an independent nation in the
Middle East for the refugees
uprooted by the birth of Israel
26 years ago.

voted against the resolution
that supported the right of
Palestinian refugees to return
to homes “from which they
have been displaced and
uprooted.”
The assembly also voted to
give the Yasser Arafat-led PLO
guerrillas permanent observer
status at the United Nations, a
decision many diplomats said
opens the way for all freedom
movements to gain representa
tion.
PLO officials said that while
they welcomed the worldwide
support in the General Assem
bly, they would not drop their
Page 7
phase after vote
armed struggle.
“Without the military strug
gle, we would not have
achieved what we have,” said
delegation spokesman Nabil
Shaath. “If we now stop on the
resolutions, the chances are we
will be allowed to sit there and
be forgotten. So far we have
not liberated one inch of our
territory.”
Israeli Ambassador Yosef
Tekoah told the assembly after
the vote, “The sun appears to
have set on the United
Nations.”
He said that despite the
votes, “at no time has the
Griffin Daily News Saturday, November 23,1974
people of Israel felt more
certain of the justice of its own
cause than now. At no time has
it been more steadfast and
more united in warding off the
assault of the forces of
darkness than today.”
Diplomatic sources said the
practical effect of the assembly
votes was to grant a mantle of
legitimacy to the PLO —the
umbrella organization for
Palestinian guerrilla groups.
Israel contended that a new
state for 1.5 million Palestinian
refugees would mean the
destruction of its own country.
It has always denounced the
PLO as “terrorists” and
refused to meet them anywhere
but “on the battlefield.”
The resolution did not specify
where the Palestinian state
should be located or what
territory it should include.
The vote granting observer
status to the PLO was 95-17
with 10 abstentions.
