Geripsen, said here today that reports over the weekend of a planned attack by Palestinian terrorists somewhere in Europe, had been received from a foreign government information service. He specified that the source was not Israeli. Among the stepped-up security measures at Shiphol are a stand-by order for three companies of specially trained marines, and the constant patrolling by armored cars of all roads leading to the airport.
