M.E. peace talks moved
NZPA-Reuter London Middle-East peace talks between the Israeli and Egyptian Foreign Ministers this week have been shifted from London, apparently because of a security scare. A Foreign Office spokesman said yesterday the meeting would be held outside London, at some as yet undisclosed location in Britain, for reasons of “prudence and general adminis-
trative convenience.” Several prominent Arabs have been murdered in London in recent months, and British press reports said the police feared that Arab extremists opposed to a negotiated peace settlement with Israel would try to sabotage the meeting. The talks between the Israeli Foreign Minister (Mr Moshe Dayan) and his Egyptian counterpart (Mr Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel)
with the American Secretarx of State (Mr Cyrus Vance) in attendance, were to have been held tomorrow and Wednesday in the ninestorey Churchill Hotel in central London. American officials accompanying Mr Vance at the economic summit in Bonn said the British Prime Minister (Mr James Callaghan) had asked for the venue to be changed because of the risk of a guerrilla attack.
