(A senior Israeli source gave a slightly different version, saying that Israel obtained details of the Young-Terzi talk not from inside the town house but by intercepting P.L.O. communications.) When asked if he thought that his meeting with Terzi had been bugged, Young replied: "I have no way of knowing, nor do I care...
