Israelis
raid, kill
refugees
Associated Press
Israeli warplanes strafed and roc
keted a Palestinian refugee camp in
southern Lebanon Thursday, killing
two persons and wounding five,
Lebanese officials said.
They said the attack was on the
Borgholieh camp eight miles north
of the port city of Tyre, and that it
was the third Israeli air raid on the
teeming settlement in the last two
weeks.
The Tel Aviv command gave no
details of the raid except to say it was
directed against suspected guerrilla
targets and that all planes returned
safely to their bases in Israel. The
Lebanese Defense Ministry said the
attack lasted 20 minutes.
Earlier in the day Lebanese gun
ners fired bazookas at an Israeli pat
rol across the border. The fire was
returned and there were no re
ported Israeli casualties.
In another development, Egypt
shut down the Voice of Palestine in
Cairo. On Wednesday, the net
work’s Baghdad station claimed
there had been an assassination at
tempt on Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat, a claim refuted by the Egyp
tians as a lie.
In northern Lebanon, Lebanese
soldiers began manning a buffer
zone between Moslems and Christ
ians in an attempt to end week-long
bloody clashes.
The major fighting has been bet
ween Moslems from Tripoli, 50
miles north of Beirut, and the Chris
tian town of Zagharta, five miles
from Tripoli.
Moslem irregulars attacked the
Christian hill village of Beit Mallat
earlier Thursday, and police said
two persons were killed.
Casualties in the week-long
clashes stood at more than 100 killed
and 250 wounded.
The clashes reflect traditional
tension between Moslem and
Christian factions in Lebanon,
heated up by the presence of
250,000 Palestinian refugees. The
Moslems support the guerrillas.
Many Christians do not.
In Geneva, the United Nations
congress on crime prevention
adopted a report expressly dropping
political terrorism from the list of
crimes requiring stricter interna
tional control.
The report was passed without
vote by the 99-nation plenary meet
ing. Israel dropped out of the meet
ing after Yasir Arafat’s Palestine
Liberation Organization was invited
to attend as an observer.

Americans face terrorism

BUFFER ZONE, Sinai Desert
— Landmine explosions and ter
rorist bullets — these are some of
the dangers American civilians may
face when they come to the Middle
East to help enforce the latest
Israeli-Egyptian truce pact.
Under the accord worked out by
Secretary of State Henry A. Kis
singer, still to be approved by the
U.S. Congress, up to 200 American
technicians are to operate electronic
listening posts in the Sinai Desert in
a new United Nations buffer zone.
Five hundred Swedish U.N. sol
diers have been manning part of the
old buffer zone a few miles away for
more than a year. The Swedish de
sert veterans say life might be tough
for the U.S. civilians.
“There are landmines all over the
place,” says a Swedish captain,
bouncing through the sand and heat
in a desert patrol car. Rows of
deadly explosive charges, Israeli
and Egyptian, lie a yard on each side
of the car and stretch as far as the
eye can see.
At least five U.N.
soldiers were
killed in the Sinai last year by
exploding mines, despite safety
paths cleared by Polish army sap
pers. “Nobody knows how many
mines there are in the buffer zone, ’
says Lt. Col. Nils-Goran Staf of the
Royal Guards, deputy commander
of the Swedish contingent. “But
there are millions of them.”
“We can avoid the mines — they
are marked on maps,” says a
Swedish private. “But we can’t map
the scorpions or mice, and we have a
lot of both.’ The Swedes haven’t
lost a man yet to a scorpion bite, but
Data about Middle East
insufficient, says official
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. intelli
gence agencies predicted before
and even after the 1973 Middle East
war broke out that there would be
no large-scale war.
Intelligence summaries released
by the House Intelligence Commit
tee said that the White House
“watch committee” reported after
Egypt attacked Israel Oct. 6, 1973, .
“we can find no hard evidence of a
major, coordinated Egyptian-
Syrian offensive. ”
The watch committee, a special
crisis committee of the President’s
U.S. Intelligence Board, called the
military invasion in progress an
“action-reaction situation.”
The Central Intelligence Agency
reported the day before the war
started that Egypt did not appear to
be preparing an attack. The De
fense Intelligence Agency reported
three days before the attack that it
did not expect a major confronta
tion.
The conclusions from top secret
reports were released by the com
mittee.
Earlier, a former State Depart
ment official testified that he tried to
notify Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger of imminent hostilities
the night before the war broke out
but Kissinger’s staff “did not want to
trouble him in New York that even
ing” with the information.
Ray Cline, former director of the
State Department’s intelligence
bureau, told the House Intelligence
Committee that by the time word
was relayed to Kissinger, the war
already had started.
Cline also said such areas as the
Middle East were getting insuffi
cient intelligence attention because
Kissinger and former President
Richard M. Nixon were focused on
the Soviet Union.
“The system wasn’t working very
well, Cline contended. “And the
reason was that people were not ask
ing it to work and were not listening
when it did work. ’’
Other officials told the House
committee that the U.S. intelli
gence community officially con
cluded in a postmortem study that
the 1973 war was an “intelligence
failure” with no major agency flatly
predicting in advance that war
would erupt.

they keep their first aid kits handy.
The Americans will be stationed
seven to 11 miles east of the present
buffer, in the bleak Gidi and Mitla
mountain passes, but the passes
have their minefields, too, and
scorpions abound all over the Sinai.
A deadlier danger could be the
Palestine Liberation Organization,
whose newspaper has urged Arab
patriots to shoot the Americans as
“an enemy target.”
It would be difficult for a Palesti
nian terrorist to penetrate the re
mote truce pact zone, and U.S. offi
cials say the Americans will be out of
guerrilla gun range.
But the technicians likely will be
sightseeing and living off duty in
Egypt, where they would not be
immune to sniper bullets, or in Is
rael, where Arab raiders have
staged nine bloodbaths.
The Swedes live in tents in the
sand, with no air conditioning,
drinking water bottled in Lebanon,
or hauled by truck across the Suez
Canal from Egypt. Officers wash
their own laundry in plastic buc
kets.
They watch the cease-fire lines
with German Shepherd guard dogs,
and with binoculars from 15 oven
like tin lookout posts, some of them
100 yards from the Egyptians or Is
raelis.
U.N. troops from Finland, Gha
na, Indonesia and Senegal guard the
buffer zone to the south under the
same conditions.
The Americans — Kissinger says
no more than 75 at a time — won’t
work with dogs or binoculars. They
will keep watch on military move
ments from sophisticated stations
full of secret electronic gadgetry.
