Hostage-Captive Relationships
"This is the captain speaking. . .we have all been through
an incredible experience. But it is over for us. No one is
hurt. However, it is not over for our hijackers. Their
ordeal is just beginning. They have a cause. They are
brave, committed people. Idealistic, dedicated people.
Like the people who helped to shape our country. They are
trying to do the same for theirs. I think we should all
give them a hand."
Reader's Digest
June 1977
The statement above was made by the pilot of a TWA New
York-to-Chicago flight which was hijacked to Paris, France,
on 10 September 1976 by a group of Croatians. On the ground
in Paris the Croatians soon surrendered and were quickly
returned to New York City for arraignment.
To those unfamiliar with terrorism and hostage situations
the pilot's words seem strangely benevolent toward the
hijackers, especially considering the ordeal to which he had
just been subjected. Surprisingly, however, such a reaction
by hostages is common; for surprisingly few captives bear
any grudge against their captors after their release. To
the uninitiated such hostages would seem to be traitors or
defectors but, in fact, unconsciously they have simply used
a healthy psychological mechanism to cope with a very stress-
ful situation--the development of an alliance with, instead
of a defiance of, the captor.
"Stockholm Syndrome" is the popular term coined to
describe this alliance. It originated from a foiled bank
robbery in Stockholm with a subsequent positive relationship
that developed between a hostage and captor, not from a
political kidnaping and murder such as that of Aldo Moro.

On the surface the tendency is to assume automatically
that this bond between hostage and captor is always positive
and beneficial. Positive relationships do not always emerge,
and it is potentially dangerous for a negotiator or decision-
maker to assume that the alliance is automatically going to
produce positive repercussions for the hostage.

NOTES
Lockheed and U.S. Air Force Work Buses Attacked in Iran
As civil disturbances continue throughout Iran, harass-
ment of the American community and violent incidents in-
volving Americans remain a significant, if not central
factor in the overall pattern of protest directed toward the
Shah's regime and modernization and Westernization in Iran.
On 23 October a crowd of approximately 200 Iranian youths,
apparently students, attacked eleven Lockheed Aircraft
Corporation work buses, throwing bricks and rocks. Four
passengers were injured and two of the buses were severely
damaged. On 28 October three Imperial Iranian Air Force
buses transporting USAF personnel and American civilians
were attacked by rock throwing youths, slightly injuring two
passengers and breaking most of the windows of one of the
buses. In both incidents the buses were transporting Amer-
icans to their residences
Firebombings in Italy Commemorate Deaths of West German
Terrorists
According to a press dispatch from Rome, firebombs hit
six targets in Rome, Milan and Bologna during the nights of
October 20 and 21. A telephone caller attributed three of
the attacks to "an Italian branch of West Germany's Red
Army Faction". The targets of these three bombings, none of
which caused serious damage, were an Italian electronics
company, a police radio repair center and a Volkswagen
dealership. All three are located in Rome. According to
the telephone caller, the attacks commemorated the deaths of
Baader, Ensslin, and Raspe in Stammheim Prison in West
Germany last year. Their followers have not accepted the
official West German. findings of suicide. No credit was
claimed for the other three attacks, which involved a movie
club in Rome, a police station in Milan and a prosecutor's
home in Bologna. (UNCLASSIFIED)

German Terrorists Kill Dutch Customs Official in Border
Shootout
During the early afternoon of 1 November, two apparent
West German terrorists--a man and a woman--killed. one Dutch
customs official and wounded two others when the officials
challenged them as they were attempting to cross over a con-
crete border barrier at a point where a road closely paral-
lels the West German-Dutch border northwest of Aachen. When
the,four-man vehicular Dutch customs patrol challenged them
the man opened fire with a pistol and killed the official
immediately. The young woman accompanying him also opened
fire, and two other officials were wounded in the crossfire.
The terrorists fled on foot, and a short distance away
commandeered a bakery delivery van which they abandoned some
three kilometers away in the city of Kerkrade, Netherlands.
An immediate, large-scale manhunt involving Dutch, West
German and Belgian police failed to locate the fugitives.
The cold-blooded manner in which the two opened fire
led officials to believe immediately that they were probably
West German terrorists, a belief which in the woman's case
investigation and eyewitness descriptions have confirmed.
The bullets which killed and wounded the customs officials
are Polish-made Makarov 9mm rounds of the same type used in
the killing of West German industrialist Hanns-Martin
Schleyer and fired from-the same type of weapon (Polish-made
PM 63 submachinegun) used in the August 1977 bank raid in
Essen, West Germany. Some of the money stolen in this raid
was later found on Red Army Faction (RAF) member Knut Fol-
kerts when he was arrested in September 1977 after killing a
policeman in the Netherlands. Composite pictures made from
eyewitness descriptions of the woman identify her as 2.June
Movement member Inge Viett. According to unconfirmed press
reports, fingerprints found in the commandeered bakery van
definitely identify her as Viett. Her companion remains
unidentified.
The terrorists remain at large.

West Germany: Does Low-Key Invasion of Press Office Repre-
sent Change in Terrorist MO?
On 6 November men wearing ski masks and carrying rubber
hose clubs attempted to take over the Frankfurt bureau of
West Germany's national news agency, the DPA. The editor
pushed an alarm button, and a quick response from the police
led to the arrest of half the group, with the other half in
full retreat. No one was injured. The purpose of this
apparent prank was to force publicity, by way of a two-page
statement, concerning the alleged mistreatment of two im-
prisoned West German terrorists, Karl-Heinz Dellwo and
Werner Hoppe. Dellwo is serving a life term for his role in
the attack on the West German Embassy in Stockholm in April
1975; Hoppe is serving a ten-year sentence for attempted
homicide.
Some of the arrested men belong to the Hamburg-based
Black Aid, a group known to have contacts with the Red Army
Faction (RAF), according to West German authorities. While
the latter view the break-in and publicity pressure attempt
as a specific plan by the RAF, other observers of the ter-
rorist scene feel the low-key modus operandi is too much at
variance with the violence generally committed by the RAF
h the Black Aid.

Cyprus Leader Spares Lives of Palestinian Terrorists
Less than 24 hours before their scheduled 15 November
execution date, Cyprus President Kyprianou finally announced
that he had commuted to life imprisonment the death sentences
of the two Palestinian terrorists who assassinated Egyptian
journalist Yusuf Siba'i in Nicosia in February 1978. The
execution date had been postponed four times from the ori-
ginal date of 1 June. The disposition of the two assassins
has been a sticky issue for Kyprianou, and the clemency
decision could result in a further worsening of relations
between Egypt and Cyprus or invite radical Palestinian
reprisals against Cypriot interests at home and abroad.

Police in Turkey Recover Weapon Stolen from NATO Rod and
Gun Club
On 2 November Turkish police raided an apartment in a
suburb of Izmir, Turkey, recovering one of the shotguns
stolen from the NATO Rod and Gun Club in Izmir on 15 October
1978, an AK-47, and other weapons. The apartment was the
residence of the wife of a member of the Eylem Birligi, one
of the extremist factions of the Turkish People's Liberation
Party/Front.
Of the five persons present in the apartment at the
time of the raid, two were seriously wounded in a gun battle
with police and one died in an apparent suicide. The Eylem
Birligi member's wife and two-year old child were unharmed.
Turkish police are conducting ballistics tests to see
if the captured AK-47 was the same weapon used to strafe the
U.S. Air Force Depot in Bayrakli, near Izmir, on the same
day the shotguns were stolen from the NATO Rod and Gun Club.

living in Mexico. The raid netted four of the six kidnapers
who seized the victim on 30 October; a fifth kidnaper escaped
the house during the raid. The police said that the opera-
tion resulted from an interrogation of a captured suspect
who attempted to pick up the ransom, reported to be between
one and five million dollars. Police originally feared the
victim had been imprisoned by members of the 23rd of September
Communist League, which kidnaped the son of a wealthy Mexican
official in August and left him dead of a bullet wound.
However, later information indicated that the kidnapers of
the 36-year-old heiress were common criminals and not linked
to a terrorist group. 25X1
Bomb Scare at Israeli Choir Performance in. Washington, D.C.
On 11 November a performance of the Rinat Choir of
Israel at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall was interrupted by
a bomb scare. A man who identified himself as a Palestine
Liberation Organization member called the center and said a
bomb had been planted in the concert hall.. U.S. Park Police,
with specially trained dogs, searched the area but were
unable to locate a bomb. After a delay of about 40 minutes,
the performance was completed without further incident. 25X1
This was the third such incident in the past two months
at the Kennedy Center. One of the other two bomb threats
occurred during a performance by an Israeli dance troupe. 25X1

Possible Assassin of Ambassador Meloy Deported from Canada
According to press reports, on 2 November Canadian
authorities deported to Lebanon Basim Muhammad Ferkh, a
Lebanese citizen believed to have been one of the gunmen who
kidnaped and later murdered American Ambassador Francis
Meloy and Economic Counsellor Robert Waring in Beirut in
June 1976. (See the issue of 22 June 1976 for details on
the assassination.)
Ferkh, who arrived in Canada in October 1977 as a stu-
dent, was reportedly arrested because he was not attending
classes regularly and was believed to have been working
illegally. A press report from Beirut indicates that Ferkh
is in police custody being held on suspicion of involvement
in the 1976 murders.

ARTICLES
Naples Court Acquits Petra Krause
Petra Krause, once labeled one of the most dangerous
terrorists in Europe, was acquitted by a Naples court on 15
November after prosecuting attorneys failed to place her at
the scene of the crime for which she was being tried: the 6
October 1974 firebombing of an International Telephone and
Telegraph subsidiary warehouse in Milan. Witnesses testified
that Krause was in West Germany at the time of the attack.
Krause's incarceration and trial had aroused extraordinary
interest both in Italy and outside the country since she was
at one time presumed to have been an important link between
Italian and German terrorist organizations.
Krause's attorneys now hope to weaken the case for her
extradition back to Switzerland, where she is wanted for
allegedly trafficking in weapons for use by anarchist organiza-
tions. This initiative may prove difficult because of her
reported ties to extreme left groups. Her car was used in
the assault on the ITT warehouse, and for four years she
refused to reveal the name of the terrorist to whom she had
loaned the vehicle. For months following the 1974 fire-
bombing Krause circulated in Italy on a false driver's
license and used it in travel to Germany and Switzerland.
Krause's two-year incarceration in Zurich (she was
extradited to Italy in August 1977) was widely publicized as
a terrible ordeal of isolation. She is ill, according to
court-appointed doctors, and could probably not withstand a
return to prison conditions.
Krause was arrested in Zurich on 20 March 1975 along
with a small group of Swiss and German anarchists who were
responsible for the theft of large amounts of arms, ammunition
and explosives from Swiss army depots. The Swiss anarchists
confessed to the group's having been involved, under Krause's
leadership, in at least five explosive attacks against
installations in Switzerland. The group also had connections
with the Baader-Meinhof Gang of West Germany. Krause was
held under investigatlVe arrest in Zurich until she was
extradited to Italy.-

Yugoslavia Frees West German Terrorists
In a decision which is expected to have serious reper-
cussions in Belgrade-Bonn relations, Yugoslavia has refused
to extradite four West German terrorists and has set them
free. Yugoslavia arrested the four--Brigitte Mohnhaupt, Rolf-
Clemens Wagner, Peter Boock, and Sieglinde Hoffmann--after
they entered the country on false passports back in May, in
a move which was hailed at the time as a significant step
forward for international cooper in the fight against
terrorism. 25X1
West Germany had requested extradition of the four for
trial on charges including the abduction and murder of West
German industrialist Hanns-Martin Schleyer, but a Belgrade
court ruled that the West Germans had furnished insufficient
evidence to warrant extradition. The decision followed by
two months a West German refusal to extradite to Yugoslavia
eight exiled Croatian extremists who are members of a group
which Belgrade considers to be terrorist in nature and which
has often been involved in hijackings and bombings to press
its demand for a separate Croatian state..
Yugoslavia has declared the four persona non grata and
has made it clear that they are no longer welcome in Yugo-
slavia. The current whereabouts of the four are not known,
but unofficial sources have speculated that they have already
left Yugoslavia for a country of their own choice, most
likely Libya, Iraq or South Yemen. Algeria, in the meantime,
has formally denied reports that it would receive the four.
Reaction in West Germany to the 17 November announcement
of the release was swift. An official spokesman said that
the Bonn government "views the Yugoslav action as a step
backward in the international fight against terrorism".

22 November 1978
Bombings in Greece Mark Anniversary of 1973 Student
Uprising
During the early morning hours of 18 November, two
bombs exploded at a Coca-Cola plant outside the city of
Thessaloniki in northern Greece. Two Coca-Cola trucks and
the plant building were damaged. A third bomb, placed under
another truck at the plant, failed to go off. Within the
city, another bomb damaged a vehicle belonging to a Greek
businessman, and one other, similar, device was found in the
offices of the Inter-American Insurance Company, a firm
which has no American ownership..
A group identified as the Revolutionary People's Strug-
glers took credit for the incidents, claiming in a manifesto
issued on 19 November that American installations were hit
as a part of the struggle to rid the country of American
imperialism. The same group took responsibility for bombings
at the U.S. Information Agency and the American Express
offices on 21 January 1978, shortly before the scheduled
arrival in Athens of U.S. Secretary of State Vance.
The 18 November incidents mark the anniversary of a
student uprising at the Polytechnic University in Athens in
mid-November 1973, when at least twelve protestors were
killed and several hundred wounded in what was the most
serious challenge to the Papadopoulos regime since the Greek
colonels had seized power in April 1967. In the wake of the
1973 riots martial law was declared and Papadopoulos was
ousted by his former military colleagues. In years following,
large demonstrations, with significant anti-U.S. military
and anti-NATO overtones, have commemorated the event.

Dutch Customs Official Dies of Terrorist-Inflicted Wound
One of the two Dutch customs officials who were wounded
in the shootout with terrorists at the Dutch-West German
border on 1 November died on 14 November. (One Dutch customs
official was killed during the shootout.
Dutch authorities, in the meantime, have
o.:ere a U.S. $5000 reward for information leading to the
arrest of the fugitive terrorists. Investigation has re-
vealed that a bouquet of carnations found at the scene of
the crime was bought a short time earlier at a flower shop
in Aachen, West Germany. Authorities believe that the ter-
rorists arrived in Aachen by train, met with several comrades
at the station, and traveled to the border in a privately-
owned vehicle.
Croatian Trial Begins in Chicago
The trial of the two Croatian terrorists who took over
the West German Consulate in Chicago last August began on 21
November in Chicago. (See the issue of 25 August.) The
trial will coincide with "Yugoslav Republic Day" on 29
November, a Yugoslavian national holiday. On this date in
1969, Croatian extremists bombed the Yugoslav Embassy in
Canberra, Australia.
Dominican Seizes Hostage in Argentine Embassy in Santo
Domingo
A private in the Dominican Air Force entered the
Argentine Embassy in Santo Domingo at noon on 17 November,
seized a Dominican secretary employed at the Embassy and
demanded U.S. $100,000 ransom, safe conduct to another
country, and inclusion of leaders of the Dominican Revolution-
ary Party (PRD) as mediators in the incident. The attacker
made no political demands. PRD leaders, however, refused to
become involved and by mid-afternoon the attacker had dropped
all demands except free passage out of the country. The
incident ended at 1700 hours on 17 November when authorities
disarmed the kidnaper and released the secretary unharmed.
The kidnaper is in military custody.

The West German Terrorist Scene--Changes _es~of Residence and
Other Developments
Authorities in the Netherlands have managed to rid
themselves of three leading West German terrorists impris-
oned in their country since several shootouts in the fall of
1.977 left the Dutch with these unwanted guests. Knut
Folkerts, Christoph Wackernagel, and Gert Schneider were all
recently returned to West Germany to stand trial, despite
their attempts to use hunger strikes and lengthy appeal
procedures to stall the return. Folkerts, who had been
convicted of murdering a Dutch detective in September 1977,
was "temporarily" surrendered on 17 October to German
authorities under Article 19 of the European extradition
treaty on the stated condition that he be able to return to
the Netherlands to hear the Supreme Court's ruling on a
second German extradition request. As it now stands, how-
ever, Folkerts can remain in Germany to be tried and can
serve out sentences pronounced by German courts without
being brought back to the Netherlands. Five days earlier,
the Dutch had handed over to German authorities Wackernagel
and Schneider, who were captured after a gunfight in Amster-
dam in November 1977. A Dutch Supreme Court decision to
extradite them had been made last May. Their appeal had
been pending at the time of their departure; it has subse-
quently been denied.
The three are all wanted in Germany as suspects in one,
two or all of the big three terrorist assassinations (Buback,
Ponto and Schleyer) of 1977. Official reports have indicated
that their presence in the Netherlands caused some unease
among the Dutch, as they were prime targets for a release
operation. iFolkert.s especially may be presumed to have
powerful terrorist friends on the outside, having formerly
worked closely with Christian K1ar. However, having gotten
rid of the three, the Dutch were again jolted by the killing
of two customs guards by German terrorists (see the issue of
8 November). Meanwhile, German authorities have issued an
arrest warrant for Werner Bernhard Lotze, who has been
unofficially reported as one of the terrorists who killed
the Dutch customs guards.

not known. (See the issue of 22 November.) Libya's leader
Qadhafi has denied that they are in Libya. West German
Interior Minister Baum, who visited Libya last week to
further cooperation between the two countries on inter-
national terrorism and other matters, told the German press
upon his return that Libya repeatedly denied ties to the
German terrorists and that it regards them as disturbed
persons rather than freedom fighters.
Another missing terrorist may have been found inad-
vertently; West German authorities believe that the remains
of the long-missing Ingeborg Barz may have been found at a
sewer construction site in the Rheinland Palatinate. Barz,
an early member of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, had been missing
since 1972. A witness at a Hamburg trial of Baader-Meinhof
Gang members several years ago had stated that Barz had been

Four Die in Explosion on Israeli Bus
A bomb exploded on a packed bus carrying tourists and
Israelis through the West Bank on 19 November and killed
four persons and wounded over 30. The attack occurred on
the first anniversary of Egyptian President Sadat's historic
visit to Jerusalem. The bus had just returned from an
outing to the Dead Sea and carried passengers from Great
Britain, Sweden, Canada and Belgium.
The bomb had been placed near the rear door of the bus
and blasted a hole in the roof and twisted the sheet metal
of the bus. According to press reports, a senior Israeli
bomb disposal expert who investigated the bus said that the
bomb had been wrapped in a wet towel and placed in a trav-
eling bag on one of the upper parcel shelves of the bus.
Both Yasir Arafat's Al Fatah guerrilla organization and
Nayif Hawatmah's Democratic Front for the Liberation of
Palestine claimed responsibility for the bombing.
A second bomb, which according to police would have
been horrendous had it gone off, was discovered rolled up in
a. carpet outside a local shop near Jerusalem's busiest
in Bomb experts defused it successfully. (UN-

Turkey Forms Antiterrorist Squads to Combat Violence
Antiterrorist squads have been formed in the major
Turkish cities to curb the serious and rising terrorist and
anarchist threat. The expected 600 political murders this
year are projected to be almost double of those last year.
These squads are reportedly operational in some areas,
and the squad concept may be enlarged or terminated based on
an evaluation of the initial units. Apparently, the teams
will be formed from a cadre of officers trained by Scotland
Yard, who will further train personnel at their duty stations
in Turkey. These units are designed to be similar to the
SWAT concept of the Los Angeles Police Department. Besides
individual arms and equipment, each unit may have portable
X-ray machines and remote control "robot wheelbarrows" for
bomb-disposal work. The number of men in each squad is not
known, but eventually hundreds of officers of the Turkish
National Police will be trained.
The actual effectiveness of these squads may be impaired
by lack of equipment and by local officialdom because dif-
ferent levels of government have various sections of some
cities under their control. Consequently, territorial
division as well as legal jurisdictions could initially
hamper antiterrorist squad activity. The most severe problem
in the incipient stages of antiterrorist squads is the
paucity of funds the government has available for such
projects.

U.S. Air Force School Bus Hijacked in Turkey
On 21 November a 15 year-old Turkish high school student
hijacked a U.S. Air Force schoolbus at gunpoint in Izmir,
Turkey. Fourteen.elementary and junior high school students
were aboard. the bus. The gunman was eventually overpowered
by the driver and Turkish police; the students were not
harmed. Early indications are that the hijacker was probably
acting on his own and possibly is mentally deranged. He
claimed that he was seeking the release of a group of Turkish
anarchists who had pirated a ferry in Istanbul on 20 November.
Bomb at American Legion Club in Thessaloniki Fails to Explode
A bomb was placed outside the entrance of the American
Legion Club in downtown Thessaloniki, Greece, on 22 November.
The bomb., as in the case of two of four bombs placed at
three locations in Thessaloniki on 18 November, failed to
explode.
