SUBJECT: NABIH BARRI'S JUNE 16 PRESS STATEMENT
1. ADDRESSEES WILL HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS FBIS ITEMS
REPORTING AMAL LEADER NABIH BARRI'S JUNE 16 PRESS
STATEMENT CONCERNING THE TWA HIJACKING. THERE
FOLLOWS, FYI, OUR INFORMAL TRANSLATION OF THE FULL
TEXT OF THAT STATEMENT. STATEMENTS BY OTHER
LEBANESE LEADERS FOLLOW SEPTEL.
2. BEGIN STATEMENT. "THE WESTERN MEDIA, MAINLY THE
AMERICAN, TRIES TO PRESENT WHAT HAS OCCURRED,
ESPECIALLY SINCE AMAL MOVEMENT HAS BECOME INVOLVED,
AS A SHITE TERRORIST ACTION. AMAL MOVEMENT THUS
MAKES THE FOLLOWING CLARIFICATION:
A. IT IS KNOWN THAT WE DID NOT INTERFERE UNTIL
AFTER WE WERE ASSURED THAT THERE WOULD BE GUARANTEES
FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD OF NEGOTIATIONS, AND AS A CONSEQUENCE WE
BECAME INVOLVED ABOVE ALL ELSE IN THE INTERESTS OF
HUMANITY.
B. THE HIJACKERS MADE THREE DEMANDS:
FIRST: THE RELEASE OF THE DETAINEES IN KUWAIT;
SECOND: THE RELEASE OF THE DETAINEES IN SPAIN;
THIRD: THE RELEASE OF THE PRISONERS HELD BY ISRAEL

MESSAGE / ANNOTATION:
IN ATLIT. IN LIGHT OF THE KUWAITI STAND, WHICH WE
REGRET, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE EXPULSION OF
SOUTHERNERS BY THE TENS AND HUNDREDS FROM KUWAIT TO
LEBANON, I PERSUADED THE HIJACKERS NOT TO INCLUDE
THIS DEMAND IN THE CASE OF THE AMERICAN AIRCRAFT.
THE HIJACKERS AGREED, AND THE DEMANDS WERE LIMITED
TO THE OTHER TWO, ESPECIALLY THE ONE CONCERNING THE
ATLIT PRISONERS.
C. THE ATLIT DETAINEES ARE HOSTAGES OF THE
OCCUPATION STATE. IN FACT, THEY WERE KIDNAPPED FROM
LEBANESE TERRITORY TO PALESTINE. WHEN THE ISRAELI
AUTHORITIES UNDERTOOK THIS ACTION, THEY COMMITTED A
KIDNAPPING WHICH IS A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
JUST AS ANY OTHER KIDNAPPING, WHETHER ON AN
AIRPLANE, SHIP, OR ON THE GROUND, IS A VIOLATION OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW.
D. ISRAEL, THE MASTER OF TERRORISM, PREVIOUSLY
AGREED TO RELEASE ALL THE DETAINEES TAKEN DURING ITS
INVASION OF LEBANON, AND FIXED A TARGET DATE OF
JUNE 6, THE DATE ON WHICH IT WOULD LEAVE LEBANESE
SOIL. ISRAEL ANNOUNCED A WEEK AGO THAT ITS FORCES
HAD DEPARTED LEBANON. IF WE BELIEVE ITS STATEMENT
(IT MUST HONOR ITS STATEMENT EVEN IF NOT TRUE), IT
SHOULD HAVE RELEASED ALL THE DETAINEES ON OR BEFORE
JUNE 6. SINCE IT DID NOT DO SO, IT HAS COMMITTED A
SECOND LEGAL VIOLATION ON TOP OF THE FIRST ONE.
I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE POLICY OF THE U.S.
DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN A KIDNAPPER OF A COUNTRY AND
ITS PEOPLE, AND A HIJACKER OF AN AIRPLANE. WHY
SHOULD SOMEONE WHO DEFENDS HIS COUNTRY BE TERMED A
TERRORIST, WHILE THE TERRORISM AGAINST OUR PEOPLE IS
DISREGARDED?
I HAVE CLARIFIED THIS STAND IN ALL CONTACTS MADE
WITH ME. I HAVE ALSO ASKED THE RED CROSS TO
UNDERTAKE ITS ROLE. WE AS A MOVEMENT BELIEVE THAT
WE HAVE FULFILLED OUR DUTY TO PROTECT LIVES. THE
HIJACKERS HAVE BEEN COOPERATIVE SO FAR. WE HAVE
ALSO PROVED OUR GOOD INTENTIONS BY PERMITTING THE
SICK AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO WAS MOVED TO AMERICAN
UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL YESTERDAY TO LEAVE LEBANON FOR
TREATMENT IN HIS OWN COUNTRY AND AMONG HIS OWN
FAMILY. THE HIJACKERS AGREED TO THIS, AND HE

TO THE U.S. THAT WE ARE NOT GRENADA. THE SOLUTION

2. TAWHID GUIDE SHAYKH SAID SHABAAN MET WITH IRANIAN
REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS DELEGATION. HE WELCOMED THE
DELEGATION SAYING, "THE BROTHERS IN IRAN ARE THE HOPE
OF THE MUSLIMS BECAUSE THEY DESTROYED AMERICAN
DOMINATION. HE PRAISED IMAM KHOMEINI AND SAID THAT
"THE REVOLUTION IS NOT OWNED BY ABU AMAR AND NABIH
BARRI." SHABAAN STATED THAT "HIJACKING OF AIRPLANES AS
A ME ANS OF EXERTING PRESSURE FOR THE RELEASE OF THE
KIDNAPPED OR THE DETAINEES IN ISRAEL IS CONSIDERED
LEGAL. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT APPROVE OF THE KILLING OF
HOSTAGES BECAUSE KILLING OF THE INNOCENT MAKES GOD
ANGRY AND IS AGAINST THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN
RESPECT. 0.00 NO DOUBT THE ISRAELI-AMERICAN VIOLENCE IN
OUR COUNTRY IS A CRYING INJUSTICE. WHEN AMERICA USES
HER VETO POWER, SHE IS CONSIDERED A PARTNER IN THE
CRIME, RATHER THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMES, WITH ISRAEL.
AMERICA AND ISRAEL ARE CONSIDERED THE BIGGEST COUNTRIES
WHICH PRACTICE INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM. THEREFORE,
AMERICA'S INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM SHOULD BE FACED WITH

4. PHALANGE PARTY PRESIDENT ELIE KARAMAH STATED THAT
"WHAT HAS OCCURED AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR AT THE AIRPORT

CRISIS. IN VERY STRONG TERMS "DIARIO DE NOTICIAS"
CONDEMNS TERRORISM AND COMMENTS THAT "TO GIVE IN IS THE
WORST OF ALL SOLUTIONS
UNDER THE HEADLINE "TENSION IN BEIRUT" THE PAPER STATES
THAT "THE ATTENTION OF THE WORLD IS NOW FOCUSED ON THE
WHITE HOUSE, ADDING:
THE SITUATION IS AT LEAST AS SERIOUS AS THE ONE
BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE KIDNAPPING OF AMERICAN EMBASSY
PERSONNEL IN TEHRAN IN 1979. BUT WILL REAGAN BE AS
PRUDENT OR AS PATIENT AS CARTER WAS? WILL HE BE WILLING
TO WAIT FOR so LONG FOR A LIBERATION THAT COST HIS
PREDECESSOR HIS POLITICAL FUTURE AND GAVE THE UNITED
STATES THE MOST BITTER HUMILIATION IN ITS HISTORY? IT IS
DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE RONALD REAGAN MAKING THE SAME MOVES
AS JIMMY CARTER. AND A LOT DEPENDS ON THE MASTERY OF
THOSE MOVES CAN VULNERABILITY BE THE OTHER SIDE OF
DEMOCRACY? IN TOTALITARIAN COUNTRIES THERE ARE NO
KIDNAPPINGS, HIJACKINGS, SUICIDAL COMMANDOS IT DOES
NOT SEEM, HOWEVER, THAT DEMOCRACY HAS TO BE
VULNERABLE ON THE CONTRARY, DEMOCRATIC ACHIEVEMENTS
MUST BE PROTECTED FROM THOSE WHO, ON BEHALF OF VARIOUS
GROUP INTERESTS, DO NOT HESITATE TO RESORT TO
VIOLENCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS
THESE, WHICH SHAKE THE CONSCIENCE OF WESTERN SOCIETIES,
NOT TO RECALL ALDO MORO AND HIS TRAGIC DEATH AT THE HANDS
OF TERRORISTS TO GIVE IN IS THE WORST SOLUTION,
BECAUSE IT SETS A PRECEDENT; WE SHOULD NOT SUBMIT TO
TERRORISM, BLACKMAILING AND THE VIOLATION OF
INTERNATIONAL COEXISTENCE. IT IS CERTAINLY EASIER TO
YIELD, TO SAVE QUICKLY THE LIVES OF THE HOSTAGES,
WHEREVER THEY MAY BE. BUT CAN DEMOCRATIC STATES BREAK,
THEMSELVES, THEIR OWN LAW? THE ATTENTION OF THE WORLD IS
NOW FOCUSED ON THE WHITE HOUSE WHERE THE NATIONAL
SECURITY COUNCIL IS MEETING AND FROM WHERE DECISIVE WORDS
CAN COME- DECISIVE NOT ONLY FOR THE AMERICAN HOSTAGES
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
