Terrorists murder 3 Israelis on boat
United Press International
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Three gunmen demanding the release of Palestinian prisoners seized a small Israeli yacht on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur yesterday, killed the Israeli woman and two men aboard and then surrendered, police said.
An anonymous caller to the Agence France Presse office in Israel took responsibility on behalf of "Force 17." Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat's specially trained bodyguard unit.
The gunmen, identified by police as Palestinians, boarded the private 17-foot boat berthed in Larnaca Harbor before dawn and shot to death Esther Palzur, 50, during a fierce fight for control of the ship.
"The nightgown was torn and that makes us believe that she must have put up quite a fight before she died," police said.
The PLO representative in Cyprus denied the men were from the PLO.
Police said the two Israeli men, Mrs. Palzur's husband, Reuven, 53, and Avraham Anvery, 55, were later found shot to death in the yacht's cabin, blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs.
The Palestinians dumped the woman's body, dressed only in a nightgown, on the ship's deck where it lay slumped over a guard rail for almost 10 hours until the gunmen surrendered.
In Jerusalem, Israel issued a statement immediately after Yom Kippim
saying it was "deeply shocked at the despicable murder of three Israeli citizens. . . . The killers and their senders will not go unpunished."
The terrorists, all wearing blue jeans, surrendered at mid-afternoon, coming out onto the yacht's deck with their hands raised above their heads. One flashed a "VV" for victory sign.
At the United Nations in New York, Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar said the "deplorable" attack would "only exacerbate tension and detract from efforts to bring about a just settlement of the problems in the Middle East."
During the 10-hour siege, the gunmen demanded the release of a group of Palestinians intercepted off the Israeli coast last month while sailing toward the southern Lebanese port city of Sidon. The Israelis contend they were guerrillas on their way to conduct sabotage missions in Israel.
"They put down their weapons, a Kalashnikov, two Browning automatic pistols and six hand grenades," a police spokesman said. The men threw an unidentified object into the sea before surrendering, he said.
Police brandishing automatic weapons crouched behind boats and shrubs during the 10-hour standoff. The Palestinian gunmen demanded safe conduct to the town's airport and a plane to fly them to an unspecified destination.
