The thirteen terrorists responsible for the deaths of at least 15 Israelis and many attacks over the past few months are settling into their new temporary quarters in a Cyprus hotel. The contrast with their previous conditions is stark; - they spent the previous 39 days holding several dozen Christian clergymen hostage in the Church of the Nativity under difficult conditions while Israeli soldiers demanded their surrender. They are permitted to eat meals in the hotel dining room, but otherwise are restricted to their rooms.
The Foreign Ministers of the European Union will convene in Brussels today to decide which countries will take in the terrorists. Italy, Greece, and Portugal have so far agreed to take in one or more of the Arab terrorists. One of them was interviewed on Cypriot television, and said, \"We will return to our homeland one day. The Israeli conquest will not last…\" He thanked his Cypriot hosts for their \"help and support,\" and described his conditions there as \"extraordinary.\"
