Twenty-nine Palestinian Jews who were among the passengers who arrived in Liverpool yesterday from the Middle East aboard the Ascania, were stripped of their clothing, kept waiting for hours, and had their luggage fine-combed by Scotland Yard detectives hunting alleged terrorists seeking to enter the country to assassinate prominent government officials. Nothing suspicious was discovered.
