Life sentences were pronounced today on six El Fatah guerrillas convicted of terrorist acts. The gang was captured near Nahal Gol Dotan in the Jordan Valley May 4 after a chase by an Israeli Army patrol. One of their number was killed. Four of the group were charged with blowing up a railway line in the Gaza Strip and throwing hand grenades in Hebron. All of the accused were uncooperative at their trial and expressed regret that they could not complete their sabotage missions. The prosecutor did not request capital punishment.
