...Iran. Exactly where he went thereafter is a mystery. West German officials doubt that Agca visited their country, although Turkish sources claim Agca and another N.A.P. terrorist were seen near Stuttgart.

Agca claims to have traveled to Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Britain, France, Belgium, West Germany and Denmark.

As unemployment figures have soared, however, the French have come to resent the immigrants as job stealers. Adding to the resentment is the increased burden on education, and a popular feeling that crime rates among immigrants are high...

The Masmoudi scheme would have "balanced" the international news flow mainly by choking the Western press, with such measures as curbs on news-agency activities, controls on "abusive" access to news sources, and a "supranational organization" to enforce correction of "false" reporting...
