Cubans Release Three American Hijackers
During the past week the government of Cuba quietly re-
turned three Americans wanted by the FBI on charges of air-
craft hijacking. They are Gregory Alexander Grates, who
hijacked a Delta Airlines jet on a flight from Atlanta to
Savannah in 1971, and Carl and Norma White, who hijacked a
National Airlines plane bound from Los Angeles to Tampa,
Florida also in 1971. These are the first hijackers sent
back to the United States by the Cuban government: since it
signed an agreement two years ago either to hold individuals
who hijacked aircraft to Cuba or to return them to the United
States to stand trial. The three returned via Barbados and
San Juan, Puerto Rico, where they were taken into custody by
WGraves will be tried in Georgia and the Whites in
n~1 Jg? (UNCLASSIFIED)

Terrorists Sentenced for 1974 Bomb Attacks Against U.S.
Installations in Beirut
Four defendants, charged with bombing the USIS Kennedy
Cultural Center in Beirut on 28 May 1974 and attempting to
bomb the Pan American offices on 2 August 1974, were sen-
tenced to death by a Lebanese military court on 28 May, ac-
cording to Beirut press reports. The sentences of three of
the defendants were commuted to five years at hard labor.
Four other defendants were acquitted for lack of evidence.
(See the 5 June 1974 issue for a report on the Cultural
Center bombing and the 7 August 1974 issue for a report on
the Pan American bombing. Those attacks were claimed by
the "Revolutionary Arab Youth Organization," believed to be
synonymous or connected with the Shibbu gang, a Lebanese
urban guerrilla group. See the 22 April 1975 issue for
information on the Shibbu gang.) (UNCLASSIFIED)

Mexican Communist Terrorist Leader Captured
On 6 June Demetrio Torralva Alvarez, the alleged leader of
the 23rd of September Communist League (LCS), was captured by
Mexican police. Torralva reportedly was involved in a bloody
series of bank robberies which have resulted in the deaths of
15 policemen and 3 civilians since 10 December. 1974. The LCS
is probably the most highly organized terrorist group operating
in Mexico and since its founding in the spring of 1973 has been
involved in numerous robberies, murders and bombings in the
central area of Mexico. The last LCS action directed against
international targets occurred on 4 December 1974, when an LCS
member attempted to abduct the French Consul General from the
French Embassy in Mexico City. (UNCLASSIFIED)
Bomb Explosion on Philippine Airlines Flight
Six U.S. citizens escaped serious injury when an explo-
sion, apparently caused by a black powder bomb, blasted a hole
in the rear of a Philippine Airlines (PAL) jet on 3 June. The
aircraft was at 20,000 feet some. 17 minutes from Manila, accord-
ing to a PAL spokesman. Forty-five passengers were injured, of
whom at least five required hospitalization after a successful
emergency landing at the Manila International Airport, but none
of the six Americans on the flight was seriously hurt. The
blast produced a hole about four feet in diameter in the fuse-
lage beside the right engine of the British-built twin-engined
BAC-111. The bomb is thought to have been placed in one of the
aircraft's rear lavatories. (UNCLASSIFIED)

Cuba Returns Another Hijacker Plus $2 Million in Ransom
On 15 June Michael Lynn Hansen, who hijacked a Western
Airlines jet to Cuba in 1972 to protest the U.S. bombing of
North Vietnam, was returned to New York from Cuba via Barba-
dos. Hansen faces charges of air piracy and failure to re-
port for the military draft. Hansen is the fourth American
hijacker to be returned to the United States from Cuba via
Barbados in the past month (see the 3 June issue). In a
further gesture of good will, the Cuban government also has
agreed to return $2 million in ransom which was paid to the
hijackers who diverted a Southern Airways DC-9 to Cuba in
November 1972. (UNCLASSIFIED)

Palestinian claims, he will approve any terrorist action plan-
ned anywhere in the world. For the time being, however,
Arafat appears to oppose terrorism outside Israel. He re-
portedly prevented the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine from bombing the U.S. Embassy in Beirut during the
recent fedayeen-Phalangist clashes, by persuading the PFLP
that such action would not help the Palestinian cause. (SE-

German Anarchists' Contact With PFLP in 1972
Members of the anarchist 2 June Movement, which was re-
sponsible for kidnapping West Berlin politician Peter Lorenz
in February, met with a representative of the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine in April 1972, according to
recent information from West German security officials. The
anarchists asked what kind of support the PFLP could provide
to the 2 June Movement, such as false documentation and hide-
outs for terrorists who wanted to disappear for long periods.
The PFLP representative said the PFLP could hide German ter-
rorists in Syria, Iraq or Lebanon for 6 to 1.2 months, at a
cost of $800 to $1,200. He suggested that 2 June fugitives
could also hide in Guatemala, where they would have to cover
only the costs of their travel. The 2 June Movement also re-
portedly asked the PFLP to provide false passports, which
were to cost approximately $2,000. There is no evidence,
however, that the 2 June Movement or other West German ter-
rorist organizations have ever used documentation fabricated
by the PFLP, or that their fugitives have taken refuge in the
countries suggested by the PFLP. (SECRET/NO FOREIGN DISSEM)
Six Japanese Red Arm Members Reportedly inPortugal
Six Japanese Red Army terrorists were in Portugal as of
early June, according' to an unconfirmed report obtained by
French security authorities. These six were JRA head Shigenobu
Fusako and five other JRA members who partic=ipated in such past
JRA operations as the September 1974 attack on the French Em-
bassy at the The Hague and the February 1975 surveillance of
the Lebanese Embassy in Stockholm. The ultimate destination of
these JRA members is not known. The JRA members alleged to be
in Portugal are the same six individuals for whom Japanese
authorities have issued arrest warrants (see the issue of
20 May). The worldwide alert identifying the individuals

Terrorist Involved in Crowley Kidnapping Released by Dominican
Authorities
On 19 June the Dominican government unconditionally re-
leased Rafael "Fafa" Taveras Rosario from prison, where he
completed a five-year sentence for involvement in the March
1970 kidnapping of Donald J. Crowley, the U.S. Air Attache
in the Dominican Republic. Taveras, who has been described
as a leader of the moderate wing of the Dominican Popular
Movement (MPD), thanked the press for its efforts on his be-
half saying that press organs were largely responsible for
his release. Taveras had previously rejected a conditional
release which would have required him to report to the police
once a day. (UNCLASSIFIED)

V. Terrorist Threats and Plans: Far East
Target: PAN AMERICAN ** There is a plan to hijack a
AIRCRAFT PanAm 747 in Hong Kong for
$2 million ransom, according
Place: Hong Kong to an informant who approached
a PanAm official on 30 May.
Date: Early July 1975 He claimed the ransom would
be used for possible "relo-
cation" of the son of a high
government official of an un-
identified Southeast Asian
country should it be taken
over by communist forces.
The informant, claiming the
hijackers sought his help and
the use of his passport, re-
quested $20,000 from PanAm in
return for additional informa-
tion. It is likely that the
informant is fabricating this
story in an attempt to obtain
money. The FBI has been in-
vestigating and has not
reached a conclusion. (UN-
