...surprisingly, the anti-American forces in Islamabad were led by a group of pro-Moscow hard-liners such as Syria, Libya and the P.L.O. Declared P.L.O. Delegate Abdel Mohsen Abu Maizer: "Why do you want to compare the Soviet Union, which is offering help and support to the Palestinian people and the Arab cause, to America, which is feeding Israel with weapons in order to kill the Palestinian people?" Among the leading opponents of this pro-Soviet faction was Ghotbzadeh, who asserted that "the liberation of Afghanistan is not less important than the liberation of Palestine." But the U.S. found...

...named Bloody Christmas sets out to kidnap the Queen and "strike at the heart of the Western world." In return for her freedom, the guerrillas demand the release of all 156 terrorists held in British, West German and Israeli prisonsplus ?5 million sterling and a jet to Libya. Arabs being all too visible in England, the royal heist is conducted by I.R.A. Provos, members of Germany's Red Army Faction and a karate expert from the Japanese Red Army. With some inside help, the terrorists penetrate Buckingham Palace in a captured Fortnum & Mason delivery van. God save...
