NOTES
Yemeni Hijacker Sentenced to Life Imprisonment
The Yemeni hijacker who seized a Yemeni Airways plane on a
domestic flight on 23 February, forcing the pilot to fly north
and finally landing at Qizan, Saudi Arabia, was immediately
brought to trial on 25 February after Saudi. authorities returned
him to Sana. (See the 25 February issue, page A-1 for informa-
tion on the hijacking.) A sentence of death was widely pre-
dicted, but on 26 February a delegation from the hijacker's
tribe slaughtered a camel at Sana's Republican Palace, signi-
fying the tribe's acceptance of responsibility and pleading for
clemency. A Yemen Arab Republic court sentenced the hijacker
to death on 2 March, but the Military Command Council commuted
the sentence later the same day to life imprisonment.
Under interrogation the hijacker said he asked the pilot
to fly to Abu Dhabi. He admitted the purpose of the hijacking
was to pressure the YAR government into paying pensions to the
families of his brother and uncle, who died in the Yemeni 1962
civil war. (UNCLASSIFIED) 25X1C3b2
Dutch Give Up Efforts to Regain Ransom Money Paid to Japanese
Terrorists
Prime Minister de'n Uyl of The Netherlands acknowledged in
Parliament on 26 February that his government has given up hope
of recovering from Syria the $300,000 ransom paid to Japanese
Red Army terrorists last September to free French Embassy hos-
tages. (See the ispues of 18 and 25 September 1974 and 7 Jan-
uary 1975.) Efforts by both the Dutch and French governments

acceptable settlement concerning the money. (UNCLASSIFIED)
JDL Leader Indicted for Public Threat to Arafat
Russell Kelner, a leader of the Jewish Defense League, was
indicted in New York on 27 February on a charge of transmitting
an assassination threat in interstate commerce. In a news con-
ference on 11 November 1974, just before Fatah/PLO chief Yasir
Arafat's visit to the United Nations, Kelner said that the JDL
had "trained men who will make sure that Arafat and his lieuten-
ants do not leave New York alive." (UNCLASSIFIED)

Three Letter Bombs Mailed in Beirut
Two letter bombs surfaced in a Beirut post office on 10
March. One exploded and wounded a postal employee; the other
bomb was defused when discovered. The following day a letter
bomb which had been delivered to a Beirut lawyer exploded and
severely injured the person who opened it. Investigating
authorities have disclosed that the three letters bore the
return address of a person killed two weeks ago. Authorities
believe that since the letters originated in Beirut, the motive
behind them was local political discord. There is no evidence
to connect them with fedayeen terrorism. (UNCLASSIFIED)
