1. Events surrounding the departure of Yasir 'Arafat and his
loyalists from Lebanon and the fatal shooting of a Greek Cypriot;
National Guardsman by a Turkish soldier on the Nicosia Greenline
were the focus of much of the bureau's efforts during the month.
'Arafat's departure has not only brought about an end to the
internecine fighting among Palestinians in Lebanon but it has
also had the positive effect of easing the processing burden on
the Arabic section.
2. The dissident Palestinian radio Turbal Voice of the Palestinian
Revolution continued its unpredictable behavior when it failed
to come on the air on 9 December. The station was not heard again
until 28 December when it was observed broadcasting test transmissions
from the nahr al-barid camp in northern Lebanon. The station
continues to observe its previous pattern of carrying two transmissions
a day, at 0500 and 1300 GMT.
