Paris bombing suspects sought
United Press International
PARIS — Police maintained a massive presence at airports, train stations, theaters and other public places around Paris yesterday in an attempt to stop terrorist bombings that have killed three people and wounded 112 others in the last week
New anti-terrorist security measures went into effect at French airports as the government offered a reward of more than $150,000 for information leading to the capture of two Lebanese brothers in the bombings.
The Interior Ministry said posters detailing the offer would be pasted on billboards across the country with photos of two men, Robert Ibrahim Abdallah and Maurice Ibrahim Abdallah.
The men are the brothers of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a jailed
leftist Lebanese guerrilla whose release is being demanded by an Arab group called the Committee of Solidarity with Arab and Middle Eastern Political Prisoners. The group has claimed responsibility for 10 bombings since last December.
New requirements forcing foreigners from countries other than the European Community and Switzerland to obtain visas before entering France went into effect yesterday in a bid to keep people from slipping in on fake passports.
Long lines of foreigners awaiting visas were reported at Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, with waits up to an hour long.
In 15 days, the visas must be issued by the French Embassy in the traveler's country of origin instead of in France, officials said.
rand's Elysees Palace, and police blocked all but one lane of traffic past the palace during the day and closed the street at night. Pedestrians were banned from sidewalks around the palace.
Security was also stepped up around President Francois Mitter-
The palace security measures were ordered after the Arab group claiming responsibility for the bombings threatened to destroy the wall surrounding the Elysees.
Mitterrand is on an official visit to Indonesia. Prime Minister Jacques Chirac yesterday canceled a trip to Canada scheduled for later this month because of the bombings.
The group, apparently working with another organization called the Partisans of Right and Liberty, vowed to continue the attacks until France releases Abdallah, presumed leader of the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Faction, a Marxist group from northern Lebanon.
HOUSTON — A real estate executive yesterday displayed a tattered cloth he claimed was a blindfold that Amelia Earhart wore minutes before she was executed in 1944 by the Japanese, who he said shot down her plane seven years earlier.
United Press International
T. C. "Buddy" Brennan said Earhart, a native of Atchison, and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were shot down by a Japanese pilot in 1937 and imprisoned on the island of Saipan until they were killed about a month before U.S. troops invaded.
Man says Japanese shot Earhart
"I think she and Fred Noonan were the first casualties of World War II," Brennan told reporters. "He has a videotape of Nivies
Cabrera Blas, an elderly Japanese woman, who said she saw Earlart shot twice. She led Brennan to the grave site, and he found the cloth while digging there.
"Ameia Earhart was on a spy mission to determine what was happening to the mandated islands in the Marshall Islands," Brennan said of Earhart's well-publicized attempt to fly around the world.
President Franklin Roosevelt, a close friend of Earlhart, secretly arranged for her to take a route, from which she could deviate slightly, to determine whether the Japanese were illegally building airfields and naval bases on islands that were to be protected. Brennan said.
Brennan has about 2,000 pages of U.S. government documents that
had been classified, but that he obtained through the Freedom of Information Act about 18 months ago.
His other evidence includes videotapes of various Marshall Islands residents who said they saw Earhart in a prison and some who heard rumors about her capture.
"Those of us who have done some searching just feel absolutely that there is still a file withheld (regarding Earlhart's mission)," Brennan said.
"Amelia was put before a pre-dug grave. They ripped the blindfold off. They shot her twice and she fell in this pre-dug grave," he said.
Brennan said he found nothing else while digging.
