PFLP Claims Responsibility for London Shooting
Joseph F. Sieff, a Zionist leader and president of the
Marks and Spencer clothing chain, was shot and seriously in-
jured by a lone gunman at his London home on 30 December. The
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLI') claimed
responsibility for the shooting, and a spokesman for the Marx-
ist guerrilla organization said that one of its members had
forced his way into Mr. Sieff's home and shot him in the head.
Scotland Yard has expressed fear that the shooting might
mark the beginning of a campaign of terror in the United King-
dom by fedayeen terrorists, according to a UPI release. An-
other London businessman, Sir John Cohen, founder of the Tesco
chain of supermarkets, reported that he had been warned that
Arab guerrillas had drawn up a "death list" of leading sup-
porters of Israel in Britain. He said a woman, whose name he
would not disclose, called. him to warn that she was second on
the list and he was third.
The acknowledgment by the PPLP of responsibility in the
Sieff shooting has led Scotland Yard to consider a series of
security measures for prominent Jewish personalities in the
United Kingdom, and police authorities have also ordered a
special check on all Arabs leaving the country, according to
a New York Times item. (UNCLASSIFIED)

Terrorist Threats Against Geneva Conference
Following an anonymous telephoned tip on the evening of
30 December, Geneva police found six parcels of hand grenades,
explosive material, and detonators in several luggage lockers
at the city's Cornavin railroad station. The unknown caller
had identified the lockers and stated that the bomb parcels
had been deposited by Arabs, according to newspaper reports.
Swiss authorities had no information as to how the weapons
were to be used or the ultimate target or targets.
This discovery is the only tangible evidence to date that
terrorists have planned operations in Geneva while the Middle
East peace conference is going on. There has been a spate of
reports, however, from Israeli and Arab security services, as
well as a couple from Soviet officials, concerning travel to
Europe of fedayeen terrorists and threats to disrupt the con-
ference through terrorist activity. (See the 1.9 December
issue, page 1, and Tab B of this issue for further details.)

Status of Persons Involved in the U.K. Weapons Smuggling
Case
Allison Rae Thompson, Abdelkebir el Hakkaoui and Ather
Naseem, the three persons being held by British authorities
for attempting to smuggle arms into the U.K., appeared in
court a second time on 14 January. The outcome of that ap-
pearance is not yet available.
Theodore D. Brown, arrested at Travis Air Force Base in
connection with the same case, has been freed on bail fol-
lowing a hearing on 11 January. Consequently, all Air Force
bases in the U.S. have been alerted in the event Brown at-
tempts to obtain another space-available flight. (For
additional information on this case, see the 3 January
issue, page 4, and the 9 January issue, page 4.): (UNCLAS-

France, Arsonists destroy oil storage tanks.
Macon A fire set by arsonists burned five storage
tanks containing 660,000 gallons of fuel
oil. An additional 440,000 gallons were
lost in December in a fire set at a storage
depot at Besancon, and valves at an oil in-
stallation in Belfort also were deliberately
opened. The perpetrators of the incidents
are not known but the possibility of terror-
ism exists. Authorities are investigating.

Lone Gunman Ilij acks Domestic Flight Over Colombia
On 21 January, an Aeropesca four-engined Vickers Vicount
turboprop with 50 people including 7 U.S. citizens aboard, was
hijacked to Cuba by a lone gunman armed with a rifle, while on
a flight from Pasto in southwest Colombia to Bogota. After the
plane was seized it proceeded to Cali where it was refueled and
a number of the hostages, mostly women and children, were set
free. The plane then flew to the port city of Barranquilla,
where two of its tires blew out on landing. After a six-hour
delay to obtain new tires, the plane was refueled, four more
hostages were released and the plane flew to Cuba with 15 pas-
sengers, including 4 of the U.S. citizens, and S crew members
still aboard. Late in the evening, the plane arrived safely at
Havana airport.
Colombian authorities have identified the hijacker as Jose
Raimundo Tapias Carrion. Tapias is either an Ecuadorian or Co-
lombian citizen and was described by witnesses as being young
and well dressed. Tapias stated over the plane's radio that his
motives for seizing the aircraft were political and by undertak-
ing the hijacking he intended to "reject the system which oppres-
ses the Colombian people and the Latin American people." Tapias
made no demands other than to be flown to Cuba. It is unknown
whether he is affiliated with any Colombian or Ecuadorian extrem-
ist group.
Press reports from Barranquilla state that Tapias took a
shot at a photographer but missed. This has not been confirmed
by subsequent reporting. Tapias' attitude while the plane was
grounded at Barranquilla was described as constantly threatening,
and he would allow only bare-chested mechanics with their hands
in the air to approach the aircraft. (UNCLASSIFIED)

Preliminary Hearing for U.S. Arms Smugglers in London
Abdelkebir el Hakkaoui, Moroccan-born alleged leader of a
California-based extremist group, appeared on 28 January at a
preliminary hearing in London to face conspiracy and firearms
smuggling charges along with two other members of his group,
Pakistani Ather Naseem and Allison Rae Thompson, an 18-year-old
U.S. girl, according to press reports. The court was told that
during interrogation, Hakkaoui revealed a plan to kidnap an
unidentified senior French government official as hostage for
the release of 30 Moroccan prisoners. (For information on the
arrest of the group and preliminary interrogations, see the 3
and 9 January 1974 issues.)
The statement read in court said that Hakkaoui planned
to smuggle arms into Britain and then ship them to France.
Hakkaoui said he planned the kidnapping to make a name for him-
self, and both Hakkaoui and Naseem claimed that Thompson did
not know that pistols and ammunition were hidden inside her
luggage. They both stated that Thompson was persuaded to bring
a trunk to Britain in return for air fare. The prosecutor said
there was no evidence as yet to connect the three accused per-
sons with the Black September Organization or any other anti-
Zionist group. The three are being held in custody for trial
at London's Old Bailey Criminal Court. No date has been set
for the trial. (UNCLASSIFIED)
