The Arab terrorist, Fuad Habash Ansara, has been expelled from Colombia as a dangerous person, it was reported by the Latin American Affairs Department of the Anti-Defamation League. Habash, a cousin of the leader of the extremist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, George Habash, came to Colombia from Chile, where he has been active since 1960. In Chile, he edited the magazine “Patria Martir” and also directed a radio program “The Voice of Palestine.” His propaganda activities, frequently anti-Semitic, were funded by the Arab League of which he was the press representative in Chile. In Sept. 1970, he led a group of 30 Arabs which took control of the Jordanian Embassy for a day to protest the treatment of terrorists in Jordan.
