110 yirds seconds II ITC er Yasser Arafat denied that PLO members were fighting for Amin. PLO envoy Y. llerfi Salmane told reporters in Dar es Salaam, the Tanzanian capital, three weeks ago that Palestinians in Uganda were involved only in farming and filmmaking. Arafat said in a U.S. television interview a month ago that Palestinians had been training Amin's army for the last five years.

But he said it was "a training mission and not more." Reliable sources say the first Palestinians arrived in Uganda in 1971, shortly after Amin overthrew then-President Milton Obote. They began training military pilots, soldiers, presidential bodyguards and members of the State Research Bureau, Amin's dreaded secret police. Amin gave the Palestinians the former Israeli embassy for their headquarters. Ugandans said publicly that some Palestinians were operating a farm 160 kilometres north of Kampala, raising chickens and vegetables to benefit Palestinian war orphans. Other Palestinians in Uganda were described as doctors and diplomats.

The PLO has also, for more than four years, had an office with diplomatic status in Dar es Salaam. Tanzanian has supported the PLO against Israel in international forums and appeared willing to overlook PLO military help to Amin although there was open enmity between him and Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere. i coiourea i toiourea I 9 10" Wood CMin NOW BEADS -now14 3-piy iwis, POLYPROPYLENE ReR. 3.95 SALE Limited Quantities No Rain Checks "Creative Touch" 0 April 18 to Sst, April 21 ACRYLIC PAINT 2oo Pearlescent and fjbricrylic Bo of 6 bottles.
