Show The Salt Lake Tribune, Monday, January Dutch Expand Alert Against Terrorists 13, 1986 Continued From A-- l ment as saying Bonn received a warning from an Arab country that Genscher was in danger. A deputy for spokesman Genschers office refused to comment, but acknowledged that security was tightened recently around the Foreign Ministry because of certain indications." The spokesman, who insisted on anonymity, refused to say what the indications were or if a connection existed with Khadafy, whom President Reagan has accused of helping the Abu Nidal faction. Swedish authorities said the original Interpol warning said a very reliable source indicated the Palestinian faction was ready to strike Jewish or Israeli targets in Sweden, Denmark, Norway or the Netherlands. But Faber said the alert had not given any further clues to the identity, route or strategy of the terrorists. Synagogues, Jewish historical sites and Israeli diplomatic and commercial buildings were put under close guard in the region as a result of the alert, and surveillance was intensified at airports, border crossings and ports. No terrorist-relate- d incidents or arrests were reported in the Netherlands or Scandinavia over the weekend. Many American companies, such as IBM, Hilton, Marriott and McDon- ald's have operations in the Netherlands, and there is a large American diplomatic and business community here as well. A Dutch government source, who demanded anonymity, said Our police are at a loss what to do, to guard against the latest threat to potential U.S. targets. Imagine all the Israeli, Jewish or American targets in a community. How do you guard them? asked the source. The embassy or consulate, thats easy.

No Matter What , Khadafy Spells Trouble By Patrick J. Killen United Press International The media WASHINGTON hangs on the words of Libyas leader as he thumbs his nose at President Reagan and threatens to loose suicide squads on American streets. Editors acknowledge he makes news, but few agree on how to spell his name. United Press International and The Associated Press spell it Moammar Khadafy, the style followed by The Salt Lake Tribune and several other newspapers including The Daily - News in New York, the Chicago s, Tribune and the Chicago The Boston Globe, The Miami Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Examiner, The Dallas Morning News and The Times Herald in Dallas and Atlantas Constitution and Journal. But The New York Times has it as The Baltimore Sun calls him el Kadafi. The Washington Post and the Sun-Time- Washington Times, in rare agree- ment, identify him as Qaddafi. In The Wall Street Journal, he is Qadhafi. Why such a cacophany of How come the quirky chorus Kha-dafy- of Qaddafis? Everybody does it differently, said W.M. Thackston, a Persian language specialist in Harvards Near Eastern Language Department. all read and Arabic speakers write the same language, Thackston said. The differences develop in transliteration, when Arabic script is rendered in English. Spotlight The Thursday alert was based on a tip from an unspecified Western Eu- ropean intelligence service that tracked an terrorist anti-Israe- li group in Western Europe, but lost its trail, according to a report in Saturdays De Volkskrant, an Amsterdam daily. The alert came less than two weeks before a scheduled two-da- y visit to the Netherlands by Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres. Heavy security was laid on and the Israeli Embassy in The Hague said the visit would go on as scheduled. About 10 Jewish or Israeli sites in Amsterdam were under police guard over the weekend, including the Anne Frank House, a major tourist attraction. West Germanys chief federal prosecutor, Kurt Rebmann, said Sunday the Abu Nidal faction may have been responsible for an unsolved terrorist bombing that killed three people at Frankfurt airport last year. Shultz: No Plan For Sanctions Against Syrians Continued From A-- l ports Abu Nidal, the renegade Palestinian faction U.S. officials believe was responsible for the Dec. 27 attacks on the Rome and Vienna airports. The Times quoted one Syrian foreign ministry official in Damascus as saying: Our reaction is beyond anger. We dont want increased tension between our two countries but the Americans are pushing us to it. Sometimes when you put a cat in the corner, it turns into a tiger. Shultz said the sanctions were imposed against Libya because that nation was clearly supporting terrorism in general. He said me Tuagan administration decision to focus on Libya in its antiterrorist campaign was due to what he called a whole pattern of terrorist activity carried out by the government of Col. Moammar Khadafy. The passports being carried by some of those who were engaged, were passports that the Libyans confiscated from some Tunisians, so they had to come from Libya, said Shultz. Libyan Foreign Minister Ali Treiki said U.S. economic sanctions imposed against his country would have only a minimal effect on the Libyan economy. Treiki, who also appeared on the CBS program, predicted the U.S. sanctions would prompt other Arab nations to withdraw their massive investments from the United States.

The maverick colonel also extended an impromptu invitation to President Reagan. Khadafy, perhaps best known in the Western world for his harsh and rhetoric, appeared eager to offer that same audience a rare glimpse of his human side against a warm domestic backanti-Israe- li drop. Although most of the substance of his two-hointerview was not new, the tone was decidedly soft for a man who has often incited his people to eat the livers of their enemies. UPi'Reuter Photo Moammar Khadafy, his wife and several of his seven children are questioned by women reporters at his headquarters. Palms outstretched and smiling broadly, Khadafy responded, Yjj, why not? when asked if he would welcome Reagan to his tent on the grounds of his heavily fortified barracks, where he works, relaxes and entertains other world leaders. But a senior aide to Khadafy said Sunday that Khadafys remarks were not a serious invitation. Asked why he chose just women for Dead Terrorist Waging Real War? Tlewsday - O Is Abu Nidal WASHINGTON alive? There are persistent reports, believed by some Middle East experts, that Abu Nidal died sometime in the last few years. Abu Nidal or one or more people decalling themselves Abu Nidal nied these reports. In one interview last year a man claiming to be Abu Nidal confirmed that he had been ill, then bared his chest to show the scars of an operation that he boasted he had received in the United States under an assumed name. Abu Nidal, which means "Father of Struggle" in Arabic, is the nickname A who was born in Jaffa, Palestine, about 1937. He broke with Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization in 1974 and formed his own group, which is of Sabry anti-Arafa- t. Reporters for the German magazine Der Spiegel, which printed an interview with "Abu Nidal" in October, kept asking their subject for proof of his identity A French reporter who also interviewed him claimed to be sure of his identity, because he had interviewed him years before One reason these reports are believed is that the shadowy Abu Nidal is phenomenally adept at playing rival Arab countries against each oth er, as he shifts from Iraq to Syria to Libya. Some analysts believe a number of radical groups may be staging terror attacks in the name of Abu Nidal. Paul Jabber, senior fellow for the Middle East at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, said, "We are acting Libya as if the Libyans were the only ones responsible for the terrorist attacks in Rome and Vienna I submit to you that they are not. "Abu Nidal is based in a number of Middle East countries and has operatives already tn place in a number of European countries as well He is not s totally within Libya's control A " the interview, Khadafy said, It is because I encourage women to be free. I feel women everywhere are oppressed and I would like to see a world of men and women equal. A top female aide, Fatia Saker, said Khadafy believed women had more power to convince their audience and could better grasp his complexities. At about the same time, at another site on the same barracks grounds, a crew from the RAI Italian television network was harassed by young revolutionary guards who complained bitterly about U.S. threats against Libya. The guards vowed any U.S. action against Khadafy would be met by a violent Libyan response against Reagan, who holds Khadafy responsible for Dec. 27 terrorist attacks at Rome and Vienna airports which left 19 people dead. The crew had been promised a Khadafy interview, but was not allowed to film the encounter and never met Khadafy. Khadafy told his visitors, We have no hostile intentions to do these dangerous things against the United States. He said he would send Libyan suicide squads into American streets only in the case of American or Israeli aggression against Libya. We want peace between all nations, Khadafy insisted. When we speak about war or confrontation, we are obliged to do so because it is they America that want this confrontation. Khadafy made no effort to conceal his intentions against Israel, which he has long said must be crushed in Howard Baker, former majority leader, practicing law for the first time in 20 years, wonders why he left the courtroom for three terms in the U.S. Senate. It wasnt long before I remembered why I enjoy practicing law so much, he said last week after successfully arguing a case before U.S. District Judge Thomas G. Hull. Baker, a Republican, is working out of offices in Knoxville and his hometown of Huntsville while planning a 1988 presidential bid. His into practice came in the courtroom of a judge he had recommended for the federal bench in 1982. Tribune Wire Services Nighttime Message on Tap Lawmakers Begin 45 Days Session Of a New-Loo- k Continued From A-- l ated in the House last year to display' for lawmakers some bill amendment language as legislation is considered. It is described as a United Nations of computers, referring to the different systems to be used, and offering the potential for first run bugs, said Mark Allred, legislative order to achieve Middle East peace. Claiming the Israelis want to destroy all other nations . . . until there is only them, the chosen people of God, he called on outsiders to let Israelis and Arabs settle differences themselves. We dont want the Soviet Union, or America, or the Asians, he said. Let us fight, even with knives, but let them leave us alone to fight as we want. Reminded that Arab nations historically had difficulties getting along among themselves, Khadafy responded, Yes, but the problems between Arabs have never threatened international peace and Israel now threatens international peace. The session began with a family visit inside Khadafys tent headquarters of bright red, green and yellow checked cloth, open to the night air and equipped with straw mats to cover the sandy earth and a large television with a video cassette recorder.

Mrs. Khadafy, his second wife after a divorce, is a former nurse who captured Khadafys heart while he was recovering from an appendix operation three months after his September 1969 coup. Although she sometimes accompanies Khadafy on state journeys, she termed herself essentially a housewife, noting in Arabic: I dont like politics. research analyst coordinating the project. But the idea is to ease into the personal computer use, to see what is convenient and what is its potential, Mr. Allred said. What lawmakers may get out of the computers will depend on their expertise and interest. A million dollar remodeling project, involving all three branches of government, will be in evidence. The Senate chamber has been refurbished with expanded, and newly located office space. New committee rooms have been installed to replace others altered for consolidated research and legal work space. The Utah Supreme Court has expanded offices and the law library has been relocated a couple of floors below. A joint Rules Committee is anxious to get legislative approval on opening day for a new way of handling guests speakers and laudatory, condolence and advisory resolutions to avoid time consuming consideration interrupting the flow of bill consideration. The concept, explained Rep. James R. Moss, House Rules Committee chairman, is to narrow voting on such resolutions to a half-hoonce a week and have ceremonial if desired off the presentation floor during recess. The rules committees of each house would be authorized to schedule guest speakers. Another rules change has permitted interim research committees to recommend immediate floor action on bills studied without being diverted to standing committees formed when the Legislature is in session. The House rules committee has identified a few for such treatment. Rep. Moss speculated the House could debate a bill opening day, which would be an unusual situation. Legislation tagged for this treatment includes measures to set new terms for the wage garnishment law, to require school district written notification of student fee policies, to require precinct residency of constables, to set admission standards of the Schools for the Deaf and Blind, to clarify felony penalties for child abuse, and to hike compensation permitted for county service area boards of trustees. Changes in Greenbacks Wont Be Continued From l tests required for the rough handling currency receives. Another proposal is use of parallel plastic ridges known as diffraction grating. The tightly packed ridges reflect different colors of light depending on how they are held. But this proposal also has failed to pass durability tests. Ortega said whatever changes Baker approves will take 12 to 18 months to put into effect. Thus, Americans are not likely to see even minor changes in the currency much before 1988 A-- . A From Tent Headquarters, Khadafy Talks of Love, War By Jennifer Parmelee Associated Press Writer TRIPOLI, Libya Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy talked of war and peace, love and hate from inside his tent headquarters, where an automatic rifle and a feather duster hung from the rafters and two camels gabbled outside. Khadafy, 43, was in a relaxed mood as he talked with six female journalists, including this reporter, Saturday Howard Baker Thomas Noguchi Government officials say the changes will be coming just in time. A new generation of copying machines, capable of producing y color reproductions, should begin showing up in offices next year. The new machines threaten to turn counterfeiting, which now requires skill, equipment and planning, into an impulse crime, much like shoplifting The nightmare of Secret Service agents is that office boys will begin running off $20s on the new copying machines. A government-sponsorestudy high-qualit- d Off-Col-or done by the Battelle Institute of Columbus, Ohio, predicts that the number of bogus bills could double between 1987 and 1992 as possibly one in five people with access to one of the new color copiers tries a hand at making phony money. Such changes threaten to return the country to the days at the end of the Civil War when an estimated of all U S. currency was one-thir- d counterfeit. The Secret Service says it now is able to seize nearly 90 percent of all counterfeit currency prior to circulation. 4 |
