Arab Group OKs Anti-U.S. Suicide Force

TRIPOLI, Libya —  A group of 22 Arab revolutionary movements agreed today to form a suicide force to strike at American targets throughout the world if the United States attacks Libya or any other Arab nation.

The decision came in a resolution at a meeting of the “Allied Leadership of the Revolutionary Forces of the Arab Nation,” chaired by Lib-yan leader Col. Moammar Kadafi. The 22 movements are believed to receive substantial subsidies from Kadafi.

The 11-point resolution said secret decisions were taken at the three-day conference, “including the creation of revolutionary intervention groups and suicide squads to strike at American interests within the United States and throughout the world . . . if the United States should dare to launch an aggression against . . . Libya or any other Arab country.”

Reporters Barred

Reporters and photographers were barred from the meeting inside Kadafi’s heavily fortified Azizia barracks.

Palestinian delegates reported earlier that Kadafi opened the meeting Sunday with a demand for a campaign of violence in retaliation for U.S. sanctions against his country.

However, the meeting, attended by such relatively moderate Palestinian hard-liners as George Habash, Ahmed Jebril and Samir Goshe, apparently turned down Kadafi’s demand for immediate and unconditional violent action.
