Gueury's release was delayed for a variety of reasons. The SCLF not only made demands upon the French government but on the Somali government as well. They demanded that Somalia provide hostages, preferably Somali na- tionals, to accompany the kidnappers from their villa to thei final destination, that a Somali Airlines plane be furnished for their escape, and finally that the Somali government pub- lish a statement that it would not punish the four kidnappers. The Somalis accepted the first two demands but balked at ac- cepting the third. Finally, they agreed to all demands. On 27 March the plane carrying Ambassador Gueury plus the Somali Ambassador to France, who volunteered to act as a hostage, left Mogadiscio for Aden, where it was joined by a French military aircraft carrying the two prisoners released from French jails and the $100,000 in gold bullion. When both planes were over Aden, the PDRY government. reneged on its promise, stating that it did not wish to be involved in inter- national political blackmail, and refused to let both planes land. Gueury's plane was diverted to the small northern Somali town of Bassaso and the French military plane went to Cairo. The PDRY's rejection set off a search to find a country that would accept the terrorists. When it first appeared that the PDRY might not accept them, the Arab ambassadors in Moga- discio formed a committee to examine alternate sites and proposed to Gueury's abductors that either Baghdad or Tripoli serve as an alternate. After the PDRY rejection these plans were pursued again. Finally, the PDRY agreed to accept the terrorists on condition that the Somali government publish in its official daily newspaper, and announce over Radio Moga- discio, its appeal to the PDRY government to serve as a trans- fer point and provide sanctuary for the kidnappers. The Somali government complied, and the exchange was made in Aden during the evening of 28 March. Gueury was then flown to Djibouti and on to Paris.

This announcement underscores the fact that many Middle East coun- tries that have traditionally provided refuge for perpetrators of terrorist operations are increasingly reluctant to grant sanctuary to terrorists. This dearth of safe havens could influence the type of operations undertaken by terrorists in the future.

These stories were never confirmed, however, nor is there any confirmation that the five anarchists have arrived in Syria. (SECRET/NO FOREIGN DISSEM/CONTROLLED DISSEM) Cuban Exiles Damage Latin American Installations in U.S. The Costa Rican Consulate and the Panamanian Tourist Bu- reau in Los Angeles were slightly damaged on the morning of 27 March by bombs that failed to explode fully. In both cases pipe bombs were used, and although the detonators exploded ithe main dynamite charges were not set off. No personal injuries were reported. Some press stories indicated that a man who called a radio station regarding the bomb at the Panamanian Tourist Bureau claimed to be a member of a pro-Castro Cuban group. According to a State Department report, however, an anti-Castro group called Cuban Action Commandos is believed responsible for both bombings. They could be the work of the National Liberation Front of Cuba (FLNC), which is known to use various cover names for its terrorist acts in the U.S. Another exile group, Accion Cubana (Cuban Action), has previ- ously bombed Cuban consulates in Latin America but is not known to have carried out bombings in the U.S. The Los Angeles police and the FBI have not completed their investigation. On 24 March two fires were ignited at the Colombian Con- sulate in New York at about 11:30 p.m. One fire, apparently ignited with gasoline, caused extensive damage to the second I OPERATIONS STAFF/DDO Approved For Rele No oreign ase 1990,/09/;!

According to Dutch authorities, the terrorists possessed. firearms and a map of the "palace on which they had traced an entry route. The men planned the kidnapping in order to call attention:to the fact that some South Moluccans continue to protest the incorporation of the Moluccans into the Indonesian Republic in 1949. South Moluccans were also responsible for the December 1974 firebombing of The Hague Peace Palace which is the seat of the International Court of Justice. During this Incident the South Moluccans were protesting the alleged torture of their comrades in Indonesia. (See the 30 December issue, page A-3.)

Holder and Kerkow were remanded into French custody, however, pending their trial for illegally residing in France with false identity papers after having arrived from Algeria in 1974.

According to Kuwait press reports, authorities speculated that the "Communist Labor Organization (Lebanon)" was responsible for the bombing, because that organization had claimed credit for similar acts in Syria and Lebanon 25X1C against U.S.-owned firms. The bomb, described as crude but The group which the press called the "Communist Labor Organization (Lebanon)" is probably the Beirut-based "Arab Communist Organization" (ACO), which has claimed credit for bombing the American Life Insurance Company office in Tyre, Lebanon on 11 February, for a series of bombing attacks against American interests in Syria and Lebanon in 1974, for bombings of the British-owned Spinney's store in Beirut in December 1974 and January 1975, and for a Beirut bank robbery on 19 February. Some sources have reported that the ACO has ties with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the PFLP - General Command, but PFLP leader George Habbash denied in a press interview that there is any organizational connection between the ACO and the PFLP. The ACO appears to be dedicated to an Arab socialist revolution with activity aimed against "imperialist interests" in general and U.S. interests in particular, rather than focused on support for the Palestinian cause, and it is not currently believed to be closely linked to the fedayeen. 25X1X claimed responsibility for the attack on the Bank of America in Beirut in October 1973 (see the 16 October 1973 issue), the July 1974 attack on the Chilean Ambassador to Lebanon (see the 24 July 1974 issue), and other Beirut bombings and robberies.

The Beirut press reported in mid-April 1975 that Lebanese authorities had arrested and formally charged a number of per- sons for various acts of violence. Some of these attacks were originally claimed by the ACO and others by the Lebanese Revo- lutionary Socialist Organization.

He suffered severe head wounds and was taken to the American University of Beirut hospital. On 24 April the YAR announced it would close its Beirut embassy "because there is no guar- antee for the safety of the embassy staff." This attempt was the fourth in a series of Beirut terrorist attacks on promi- nent Yemenis, three of whom have been killed. (See the issue of 5 September 1973.) YAR authorities are convinced, accord- ing to the U.S. Embassy, that these attacks are inspired by the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, using either its own goon squads or members of extremist Palestinian groups.
