Leftwing university students attacked the U.S.-owned Sheraton Hotel with firebombs and rocks, causing extensive damage. No injuries or ar- rests were reported by the police. Police said the stu- dents came from earlier demon- strations, on the engineering school campus, against na- tional educational policy changes. Some of the students shouted epithets against the Chilean regime. The Sheraton is operated by an ITT sub- sidiary, and ITT activities in Chile have received much unfavorable international publicity, but it is not clear that this was the reason for the attack.

The court rejected a plea that Capucci be given a suspended sentence, according to the press. He has 45 days to appeal the verdict, and there is speculation that he will be deported before completing the sentence. Greek Catholic leaders, the governments of Syria and Lebanon, and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) have publicly criticized the sentence. The Vatican has not yet commented. A PLO spokesman stated that no effort will be spared to rescue Capucci.

The plane landed in Havana at about 10:30 p.m. The hijacker, a middle-aged man using the name Robin Harrison, had chartered a single-engine aircraft from the Tampa Flying Service, but when he arrived at the airport he pulled a pistol and demanded the larger plane. The pilot, who returned to Miami on 16 December, said Cuban authorities took the hijacker into custody. They treated the pilot well, but the Tampa Flying Service was re- quired to pay $500.00 to the Cuban government before the pilot was permitted to leave. This is the first hijacking to Cuba since the signing of a treaty in February 1973 which requires Cuba to return U.S. hijackers or put them on trial.

He also told the pilot bombs had been planted on the aircraft. The hijacker told the pilot to fly over St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome to verify the aircraft's location. At this point he told the pilot to crash into the center of the city. The copilot, flight engineer and two other crew members then jumped the hijacker and subdued him. The man was subsequently identified as Josef Homolov of Ontario, Canada, who had immigrated from Czechoslovkia in 1968. He told Italian authorities he hijacked the plane because there were people on board who intended to rob him. Italian authori- ties stated Homolov was carrying $2,000 in counterfeit Canadian currency. No explosives were discovered. Homolov is being held by the Italian authorities on charges of hijacking and conspiracy to commit currency fraud. At present there is no indication that Homolov is connected with any terrorist organi- zation.

According to a Jerusalem press report, the Israeli prisons commissioner emphasized that the reduction of their sentences of 10 and 14 years was not the result of the recent visit of the French foreign minister but rather resulted from requests initiated by their families. (See the 6 November issue.) The two women, who were members of the French branch of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and three other Europeans who have already been deported were planning acts of sabotage in several large Is- raeli hotels. Barage had executed the sabotage of the Gulf oil refinery in Rotterdam in March 1971 and participated in the hijacking of a Pan American jumbo jetliner in September 1970. Bardali was a suspected hijacker.

On 21 December a Lebanese military court sentenced French- man Pierre Fernand Rongier to death on charges of spying for Israel and aiding the Israeli commandos who attacked fedayeen leaders and installations in Beirut on 10 April 1973. (See the issues of 11 and 25 April 1973.) Although Rongier denied the charges, the prosecutor said there was irrefutable evi- dence of Rongier's role, including the testimony of witnesses and five false passports seized from him. He is believed to have assisted in renting cars used in the Israeli attacks. Rongier was not seized at the time of the attacks, according to the Beirut press, but was arrested in July 1974 when he arrived in Beirut, ostensibly on a business trip, from Saudi Arabia. Rongier's defense lawyers said the death sentence would be appealed.

The company owns two cruise ships operating between Miami and the Bahamas, but the company is American-owned and has no connection with the Bahamian government. According to the FBI, the bomb appears to be different from those utilized in recent bombings by Cuban exile revolutionary organizations.
