An Arab terrorist spokesman warned today that persons concerned with their safety “should stay away from Israeli airlines or business organizations.” The spokesman for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine told a press conference in Amman that his group planned an all-out terrorist campaign against Israeli business organizations abroad.
“Up to now we have been flirting with sabotage,” he said. “From now on our actions will be more dangerous, possibly fatal.” He said the Popular Front warned all persons dealing with Israeli organizations abroad, or using Israeli transportation, that it will not be responsible for their safety.
The Popular Front has claimed responsibility for yesterday’s bombing of the El Al office in Brussels and the Israeli embassies in Bonn and The Hague. It also said its agents hijacked a TWA airliner to Damascus last month and bombed the Zim lines office in London.
