2 Monday, February 2, 1987 / University Daily Kansan Around the World Israeli official rejects Jihad plan designed to release 3 Americans TEL AVI, Israel — Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin yesterday rejected as unthinkable a terrorist group's demand to release 400 Arab prisoners in exchange for three Americans and an Indian hostage in Lebanon. Rabin said on a live call-in show on Israel Army radio that the Jewish state would not act as an international bank for terrorists. He said no request had come from the United States or any other government to free prisoners. He and other officials said Israel would make no deals. Rabin said Israel had to consider its own people held hostage first. On Saturday, a handwritten statement delivered in Beirut in the name of Islamic Jihad Organization for the Liberation of Palestine threatened to kill four Beirut University College teachers kidnapped Jan. 24 if the prisoners were not freed in a week. Military on red alert while Filipinos vote The four hostages are Jesse Turner, 39, of Deio, Idaho; Alann Steen, 47, of Boston; Robert Pollhill, 53, of New York City; and Mithileshwar Singh, 60, a U.S. resident of Indian nationality. MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos voted under a military red alert yesterday to decide whether to adopt a U.S. style constitution sought by President Corazon Aquino, whose political future hinged on the outcome of the plebiscite. An estimated 25 million voters were eligible to vote. A tally of 51 percent was needed for approval of the constitution, which is backed by the church and middle class. Aquino hoped for a plurality of at least 70 percent to dispel questions about her public support. Aquino was expected to travel to her home province of Tarlac, 70 miles north of Manila, to vote shortly after the polls opened at 7 a.m. (5 p.m. CST yesterday). The election commission said qualified voters who did not cast ballots be fined $5 and might be removed to public office for one year. Yesterday the military was placed on red alert, the highest state of readiness, with 79 battalions in the country's voting precincts in Police yesterday arrested two men from flocos Norte province, home of deposed President Ferdinand Marcos, for allegedly planning to blow up government installations to disrupt the vote. Across the Country Irish police blame feud for woman's death DUBLIN, Ireland — Police yesterday blamed a feud within a breakaway group of the Irish forces in connection to the death of its former leader's wife. Mary McGlinchey, 33, was shot in front of her screaming children as she prepared their bath. The slaying Saturday night was the fourth in just over a month caused by a bitter feud among rival factions of the Irish National Liberation Army. The INLA is a Marxist IRA breakaway group of up to 200 men fighting to drive Britain from Northern Ireland, police said. Police in the Irish Republic and in Northern Ireland launched a hunt for the gunmen who burst into McGlincyhe's home in the town of Dundalk and shot her as she prepared a bath for her two sons. Dundalk is 50 miles north of Dublin. She was hit by up to five bullets and slumped dead in the bathbath in front of her sons, aged 9 and 11. Neighbors found her body afterearing the screams of the boys, who were unharmed. McGlinchey's 34-year-old husband, Dominic "Mad Dog" McGlinchey, was moved to a special cell in a top-security prison south of Dublin and then told of the slaying. He was once Ireland's most wanted man and boasted of being a former INLA chief of crime. He is serving a 10-year sentence for attempted murder. A spokesman for the Irish Republican Socialist Party, the INLA's political wing, maintained that the killers were "pro-British agents" and called on all Irish nationalists "to ostracize these murderers from the community." Navy steps up activities in Mediterranean The movements coincide with increased tension in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain—Four U.S. Navy ships, including the carrier John F. Kennedy, left ports in Spain over the weekend for operations in the Mediterranean Sea, Spanish officials said yesterday. The Washington Times, citing anonymous Defense Department sources, said Friday that U.S. Navy special forces and several hundred Marines trained to rescue hostages have been deployed aboard two U.S. battle groups in the Mediterranean. Twenty-six foreigners, including eight Americans, are being held hostage by kidnappers in Lebanon. Iran and Iraq, at war since September 1980, have been attacking foreign ships in the Persian In Washington, Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Sam Falcona confirmed the ship movements. Falcona said the four ships left for "general operations in the Mediterranean." He said it was against U.S. policy to divulge the ships' destinations or planned activities. The U.S. Defense Department said Thursday it had bolstered the visibility of U.S. naval forces in the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf to "show support for our friends in the region" and to "entertain his president has all options available to him that he might choose." Falcona declared comment on Falcona that an elite hostage rescue team was aboard a U.S. air carrier in the Mediterranean Sea. From staff and wire reports.
