Terrorist killed —Libya

NZPA-Reuter London Libyan radio said yesterday that the country’s police had killed a British-backed terrorist and wounded and arrested two others, all trying to infiltrate from Tunisia on Sunday. “This terrorist group belongs to the group protected and managed by the British Government, and which carried out the terrorist criminal action against the Libyan Arab People’s Bureau in London,” the radio said. Libyan radio said that the “terrorist group, which the British Government and

other Arab States have adopted, providing it with protection and supplying it with weapons and explosives ... is wanted by Interpol.” The radio said that the two arrested had given lists of terrorist cells in Libya, Britain, Sudan, the United States, and other countries. “This group was trained in acts of assassination and sabotage in Britain, Sudan, America, and other Arab States. “This group carried a list of assassinations and acts of sabotage of popular establishments and institutions

which it intended to carry out inside the Jamahiriyah (Libya),” the radio said. A mobile-home used by a Tunisian National Guard patrol had been located about 500 metres from the border and after following footprints coming from the mobile-home the Libyan police had clashed with the terrorists, the radio said. One of the terrorists had a Sudanese diplomatic passport which he had used to enter Tunisia several times this year, the radio said.
