Emile Bustani flew to Cairo late today for peace talks with Arab guerrilla leaders including Yassir Arafat, leader of the Palestinian guerrilla organization. THE MOUNTAIN WEST'S Bustani faced tough bargaining despite indications the Lebanese government was willing to give in and let the some maintain guerrillas bases in southern Lebanon. The guerrillas attacked a neighborhood police station in Beirut shortly past midnight today and fought a 20 minute battle with the policemen before withdrawing. They tossed four dynamite sticks at the station to cover their withdrawal. Several hours later, as thousands of persons thronged the streets under a relaxed curfew, six bomb explosions rocked the city, until now relatively free of the strife connected with the conflict between the government and guerrillas. The bombs exploded under parked cars, at construction sites, outside a downtown commercial center and at other nongovernment sites, indicating no specific guerrilla plan other than to create an air of uneasiness. No one was injured in the fighting or explosions. The Middle East news agency in Cairo said a group of men hurled a stick of dynamite toward the U.S. embassy in Beirut, but the explosion caused neither injuries nor damage. The guerrillas have accused the Untied States of backing Lebanese efforts to crush the guerrilla movement.
