...counterblow, no unleashing of Israel's superior might but rather a dogged effort to undo the terrorists through the conventional means of enhanced intelligence, mass arrests and collective punishment. Peres vowed the peace process would continue, but for the first time he linked its pace to the success of antiterrorist efforts by his Palestinian partner, Yasser Arafat...
Congratulations to France's elite antiterrorist gendarmes for freeing the 173 hostages aboard the hijacked Air France jetliner [Algeria, Jan. 9] and to the other people who contributed to the rescue, even though three hostages were killed prior to the final assault. Nevertheless, it would be naive to say that the militant Armed Islamic Group will be discouraged from committing more acts of terrorism, since four Roman Catholic priests were murdered in Algeria shortly after the Airbus rescue. I fear that these killings might be a further step in the escalation of a new Algerian war, something we hoped would...
...Marignane Airport, killing the four hijackers in a brisk firefight and freeing the plane's 173 passengers and crew. Miraculously, none of the rescuers or hostages perished during the assault. Thirteen passengers, three crew members and nine policemen were wounded, only one seriously, in one of the most successful antiterrorist operations in aviation history...

The first objective of the French was to persuade the Algerians to allow the elite National Gendarmes Intervention Group (G.I.G.N.) to provide "technical" assistance for a raid on the plane.

Such worries do not deter Bruguiere. The antiterrorist crusader, who survived an abortive 1987 grenade attack and packs a .357 Magnum for his own protection, is hard at work on a new investigation. On Dec. 20, he arrested two alleged VEVAK agents for plotting to kill an opposition figure in Paris. One of the men is also implicated in the 1990 murder of Ganji's aide Cyrus Elahi. Judge Bruguiere is giving the mullahs no rest...
