Agca first told one story, then another. After his arrest, he said that he had been trained by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (P.F.L.P.), the hard-line Marxist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization led by George Habash. In Lebanon, a spokesman for Habash told TIME: "We know nothing about this man. We have never heard of him before. He has no connection with us." Indeed...
...regional problem that the Administration fears could lead to an expansion of Soviet influence is the struggle in black Namibia (SouthWest Africa), which is trying to gain independence from white-ruled South Africa. Elections in Namibia would probably lead to a Marxist government. Reagan and Haig both met last week with South African Foreign Minister Roelof F.

He emphasized his hard-line anti-Communist foreign policy, recalling the capture of a Soviet spy last year, and the suspension of preferential trade relations with neighboring Marxist-led Zimbabwe in March. He also played on the considerable comfort the Nationalists have derived from their hopes of rapprochement with the U.S., as manifested by such gestures as Foreign Minister Roelof Botha's forthcoming visit to Washington later this month. That process has been helped along by U.S. participation, with Britain and France, in vetoes...
