A three-man delegation of El Fatah, ousted Thursday from the 20-nation International Moslem Conference at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was readmitted yesterday through the intervention of the Egyptian delegation. The El Fatah leader, Abu Hishan, said he was seeking world Moslem support for the guerrilla struggle against Israel.
Conference officials had evicted the El Fatah members because they represented no government and the conference was billed as non-political. But Dr. Abdel Aziz Kamel, head of the Egyptian delegation, arranged to have them admitted as observers without the issue being put to a conference vote. It appeared that El Fatah also gained status because of the turmoil it has created in Lebanon, a half Christian, half Moslem country.
