The World - News from July 21, 1988

The Greek government identified four Arabs it suspects of being involved in a terrorist attack on a Greek cruise ship and tied the leader to a 1978 killing claimed by the Abu Nidal terrorist group. Public Order Minister Anastasios Sehiotis said police had been able to piece together events leading up to the attack on passengers of the liner City of Poros on July 11. Sehiotis said that fingerprint evidence makes the government suspect that Hejab Jaballa, who holds a Libyan passport, led the guerrilla attack in which nine died and 98 were wounded. Jaballa has been accused of taking part in the assassination of an Egyptian newspaper editor in Cyprus in 1978.
