Four men and a woman, all believed to be Arabs, have been arrested on suspicion of engaging in terrorist offenses in London. These include the New Year’s eve bombing which killed two Syrian Embassy officials and the shooting, a few days later, of Said Hammani, the Palestine Liberation Organization’s representative in Britain.
Scotland Yard’s anti-terrorist squad which is investigating these and other incidents, says it is also anxious to interview other people besides those already being held. Earlier this week, leading PLO officials attended a London memorial service for Hammani. They included Shafiq al-Hout, a veteran PLO functionary from Beirut, and Issam Sartawi who, like Hammani, has engaged in talks with sympathetic Israelis.
