BOTH THE GUARD AT THE CONSUL GENERAL'S RESIDENCE AND THE CONSUL GENERAL'S WIFE HAVE IDENTIFIED AN INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY HAVE BEEN CASING THE RESIDENCE PRIOR TO THE FIREBOMBING OF JANUARY 2 AS EVA SYBILLE HAULE-FRIMPONG (SEE REFTELS A AND B) WHO IS BELIEVED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE RAF HARDCORE. THE FIREBOMB ATTACK ON THE CONGEN'S RESIDENCE, HOWEVER, WAS MOST LIKELY THE WORK OF THE RAF PERIPHERY AND NOT THE HARDCORE. IF IT IS THE PERIPHERY THAT CARRIED OUT THIS FIREBOMBING, THEN IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT SOMEONE FROM THE HARDCORE WOULD BE INVOLVED IN CASING THE TARGET. THIS REASONING HAS THUS FAR LED THE BKA TO ASSUME THAT HAULE-FRIMPONG WAS NOT THERE, AND THAT THIS IS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTIFY. 4. THERE IS ANOTHER 25X1 POSSIBILITY.

(LOU) ON JANUARY 13 THE LIBYAN EMBASSY PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER WAS ASSASSINATED AT 0820 HOURS AS HE LEFT HIS HOME FOR WORK. THE 31-YEAR-OLD DIPLOMAT, MAGKJUN FARG, WAS ABLE TO RETURN HIS ASSAILANT'S FIRE BEFORE BEING FELLED. THE WOUNDED ASSAILANT FLED ON FOOT TO A WAITING VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO SOME NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS. 2. (LOU) THE PRESS ALSO REPORTED THAT A GROUP CALLING ITSELF "AL BORKAN" TELEPHONED THE AP WIRE SERVICES IN LONDON ONE HOUR AFTER THE ASSASSINATION, CLAIMING CREDIT FOR THE KILLING. "AL BORKAN" IS THE SAME ORGANIZATION WHICH CLAIMED CREDIT FOR ASSASSINATING THE LIBYAN AMBASSADOR TO ROME ON JANUARY 21, 1984. 3. (LOU) WE UNDERSTAND THAT MAGKJUN HAD RECEIVED NUMEROUS TELEPHONE THREATS ON HIS LIFE PRIOR TO THE KILLING. PERHAPS AS A RESULT OF THOSE THREATS, HE WAS CARRYING A SMITH AND WESSON 38 SPECIAL. HIS ASSAILANT LEFT BEHIND A WALTER 7.65 CALIBER AUTOMATIC PISTOL, EQUIPPED WITH A SILENCER, AFTER BEING WOUNDED. A TOTAL OF TEN SHOTS REPORTEDLY WAS EXCHANGED, SEVEN BY THE ASSAILANT AND THREE BY MAGKJUN. 4. (LOU) MAGKJUN FARG ARRIVED IN ROME IN MID-1982 AND WAS THE THIRD OR FOURTH RANKING OFFICIAL AT THE LIBYAN EMBASSY. 5. (LOU) REFTEL INDICATES THAT INFORMATION REPORTED BY THE PRESS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY ITALIAN AUTHORITIES WHO GIVE CREDENCE TO THE CLAIM MADE IN LONDON BY "AL BORKAN" ATTRIBUTING THE ASSASSINATION TO ANTI-LIBYAN DISSIDENT GROUPS OPERATING IN EUROPE. 6. (C) COMMENT: THE ASSASSINATION BY THE ANTI-QADHAFI ORGANIZATION, WHICH QUICKLY CLAIMED CREDIT FOR THE KILLING, COMES A YEAR TO THE MONTH OF THE KILLING OF THE LIBYAN AMBASSADOR. THE INCIDENT CONFIRMS THE PROPENSITY FOR INTERNATIONAL TERRORISTS TO USE ROME AS A SITE FOR CARRYING OUT THEIR VENDETTAS AND THAT LOWER RANKING DIPLOMATS MUST NOT BE DISCOUNTED AS POTENTIAL TERRORIST TARGETS.
