The refusal of the Arab countries to support a resolution at a meeting of the Organization of African States condemning air piracy and terrorist acts against aircraft was seen here today as further evidence of Arab complicity in such acts. All of the Arab states, except Tunisia, demanded that the resolution be restricted only to African territory. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the Arabs thus sought to exempt acts of sabotage and aerial hijacking in Europe and elsewhere. “It is clear,” he said, “that this attitude will be taken as an encouragement on the part of terror groups to persist in violence against civil aviation.”
