Greek Cypriot police are keeping a close watch on Palestinian terrorist activity in Cyprus where the Palestinians have reportedly set up a maritime training base to prepare recruits for sea-borne terrorist assaults on Israel, it was learned here today. The Greek Cypriots are said to have asked the Lebanese authorities to exchange information on the movements of Palestinians. But, according to the reports, the terrorists enjoy freedom of movement in the Turkish zone of Cyprus where the authorities close their eyes to their activity. The base’s existence was disclosed by an Arab terrorist recently captured by the Christian militia in south Lebanon, Moariv reported today.
