Explosion Wounds Ustashi Terrorist in Germany
On 29 January Ljubomir Dragoja, a member of an Ustashi
terrorist group based in Australia, was severely wounded in an
explosion in Frankfurt, according to the Yugoslav press.
("Ustashi" is a name used by Croatian right-wing groups in
exile.) Dragoja reportedly was traveling on a passport issued
at the Yugoslav Embassy in Canberra and arrived in Germany in
mid-1974. The press further reported that police found evidence,
apparently in the debris, of the preparation of bombs to be
sent through the mail. (UNCLASSIFIED) 25X1C3b1

Spain Pardons Croatian Hijackers
On 13 February the Spanish official state bulletin an-
nounced that General Franco has granted a full pardon to the
three Croatian hijackers who were sentenced to prison terms in
December. (See the issue of 10 December 1974.) The Croatians
hijacked a Scandinavian Airlines plane over Sweden in September
1972, obtained the release of six other Croatians from Swedish
custody, and flew to Spain. The latter six were permitted to
leave Spain for Paraguay in June 1974. (UNCLASSIFIED)

Spain Returns Hijacking Ransom Money to Sweden
Spain has returned to Sweden all the ransom money it
confiscated in September 1972 from the Croatian hijackers of
a Scandinavian Airlines plane. The Swedish government had
released six Croatian terrorists from prison. and paid a ran-
som of about $110,000 to obtain the release of the hijacked
passengers. The Spanish government pardoned the three hi-
jackers on 13 February 1975 (see the 18 February issue). The
money was turned over to the Swedish Embassy on 15 February,
according to a Spanish radio broadcast. (UNCLASSIFIED)
Meir Kahane Sentenced in New York
Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League,
has been sentenced to a year in prison for violating probation.
The sentence was pronounced in a U.S. district court in New
York on 21 February. Kahane had been given five years proba-
tion in July 1971 on a charge of making a fire bomb, and was
expressly forbidden to have anything to do with guns, bombs or
other weapons. Later, while in Israel, he plotted to smuggle
arms from Israel to Europe for use in terrorist acts, and also
wrote to JDL members in the U.S. urging them to bomb the Iraqi
Embassy in Washington and to kidnap and kill Soviet diplomats.
The Israelis gave him two-year suspended sentences for these
activities, one in June 1974 and one in November 1974. (See
the issue of 19 December.) He, was allowed to depart Israel for
the United States, however.
Kahane admitted in court that he had violated the terms of
his probation, and attempted to justify his activities by say-
ing JDL violence was aimed at preventing a detente with the
USSR which he felt would doom Soviet Jews. (UNCLASSIFIED)
'Layla Khalid Speaks at Kuwait University
Layla Khalid, who has stayed out of the limelight since
she became. something of a celebrity following a PFLP hijack
attempt in September 1970, gave a lecture at Kuwait University
on 21 February which was summarized in the local press. In
her lecture to a few hundred persons, including some prominent
Kuwaiti leftists, she emphasized the PFLP's "rejectionist"

line, saying that armed struggle is the only route to the lib-
eration of Palestine and advocating the overthrow of the
"agent" regime in Jordan. She also criticized the "rightist
apostasy" in Egypt and Syria and the U.S. "threats" to Arab
oil fields.
Khalid and another PFLP terrorist attempted to hijack an
El Al plane flying from Amsterdam to New York on 6 September
1970, the day the PFLP successfully hijacked three other air-
craft to Jordan and Egypt. A security guard on the plane
wounded Khalid and killed her companion. The ;plane landed at
London, where Khalid was taken into custody. She was released
a few weeks later as part of a bargain for the release of the
remaining hostages held by the PFLP. She also participated
in the hijacking of a TWA plane to Syria in August 1969.
