  • Story Text: THE ISRAELI ARMY LAST NIGHT DEMOLISHED THE EAST JERUSALEM HOME OF EL-FATAH TERRORIST ORGANISATION LEADER KAMAL NAMMER. ACCORDING TO THE ISRAELI AUTHORITIES, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE SIX-DAY WAR THAT SUCH DIRECT RETALIATORY ACTION HAD BEEN TAKEN AGAINST ANY MEMBER OF THE TERRORIST GROUP.

    ACCORDING TO ISRAEL SPOKESMEN, KAMAL NAMMER AND ANOTHER EL-FATAH MEMBER NAMED NASSER WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR A RECENT MURDER AT A FIELD STATION ON THE JERUSALEM-TEL AVIV HIGHWAY.

    ARABS FROM EAST JERUSALEM VISITED THE DEMOLISHED HOUSE AFTER IT HAD BEEN EXPLODED BY AN ARMY TEAM. THERE WAS LITTLE LEFT BUT RUBBLE.

    LATER TODAY JERUSALEM'S MAYOR, MR. TEDDYKOLLEK CAME TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. HE BROUGHT CITY ENGINEERS, WHO SURVEYED DAMAGED TO SO-CALLED "BLAME-FREE" HOUSES NEARBY. THE BLAME-FREE HOUSES HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED WHERE OBVIOUSLY NECESSARY, AND MONEY SPENT BY HOUSEHOLDERS WAS REFUNDED.
