FBI plucks terrorist from the sea
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A Lebanese man indicted for masterminding the 1985 bjacking of a Jordanian airliner with four U.S. citizens aboard was plucked from the Mediterranean Sea by FBI agents and returned to the United States yesterday to stand trial, the Justice Department announced.
Fawaz Younis, a Shiite Muslim, was being arraigned to a U.S. magitrate in Washington on charges of hostage-taking, conspiracy and destruction of an aircraft. If convicted, he could face life imprisonment, FBI and Justice Department sources said.
The arrest marked the first time U.S. law enforcement officials have brought an international terrorist to justice in the United States, Attorney General Edwin Meese III told a news
conference.
"This operation illustrates the intention and ability of the United States to invoke the rule of law in fighting terrorist lawlessness," Meese said. "It is the first such operation, but it will most certainly not be the last."
The hostage-taking statute, passed in 1984, provided long-arm jurisdiction over offenses committed outside the United States when U.S. nationals are among those taken hostages.
Younis was intercepted Sunday morning by the FBI on a small boat in the Mediterranean, transferred to the U.S. aircraft carrier Saratoga and then flown to Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington without touching down in a foreign country, said FBI, Justice Department and Defense department officials.
One administration source, who refused to say precisely where the FBI agents caught the suspect, said the man was transferred to the Saratoga in the north central Mediterranean near the island of Corsica. The carrier had steamed to that area after a port call in Naples, Italy, to participate in a NATO exercise, the source added.
case, the source of "The operation didn't involve any foreign territory. It was all done by the military in international waters or airspace," said a Pentagon official, who asked not to be identified.
In an indictment unsealed yesterday, Younis was accused of conspiring with others in the June 11, 1985, hijacking of the Alia Royal Jordanian Airlines plane, a Boeing 727 with 74 people aboard.
Pipe bomb explodes, damages vehicle at Lawrence motor lodge
By a Kansan reporter
A pipe bomb exploded early yesterday under the rear of a car parked at the Travelodge Motel, 801 Iowa St., Lawrence police reported.
Jean M. Noel, a 42-year-old investment manager from Hutchinson, told police that he was in his motel room for several hours before the explosion damaged his 1984 white Monte Carlo. Noel was not injured, but the damage to his car was estimated at $2,500.
Noel told the police that he had
taiked with his daughter Dia, a KU sophomore, finished some paperwork and watched television before the blast shook him about 2 a.m.
Noel said he got up to see where the noise came from and found his car on fire.
Dia Neel said her father came to Lawrence two to three times a month on business, but they did not know anyone who would have reason to bomb his car. Lawrence police are still investigating the incident.
From the KU Weather Service
Dia Noel said yesterday that after
talking to the police, her father thought the bombing was just coincidental.
The explosion ignited gasoline in the car's fuel tank, but firefighters put it out, according to the fire report.
Dia Neel lent her car to her father so he could return to Hutchinson.

THE REST FOR LESS
"I drive better after a few drinks."
People often think they're driving better than ever - when in fact, they're not! In Kansas, "driving while intoxicated" is legally defined as a blood alcohol level of 10%. Even professional drivers were worse drivers when their blood alcohol level was as low as .03% to .05%.
