Following the Libyan airliner incident, police in West Germany tightened security on Jewish and Israeli installations, property and persons here to safeguard against possible attack. Tight security has been maintained since the Munich massacre, police say. Observers here do not exclude Libyan or Palestinian reprisals for the airliner incident. West German security services met today in Hamburg to discuss and coordinate fresh security measures. Special watch is being kept on El Al offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich and also on synagogues throughout the country.
