Hostages on hy celled bus
reocued by lorneli troops
RAFAII, Israeli-occupied G aza Strip Israeli
troops early today stormed a hijacked bus
where Arab guerrillas held about 30 Israeli
passengers hostage for nearly ten houra The
passengers were freed after shots rang out as
the Israeli troops raced toward the bus and a
blinding flash pierced the sky. A soldier who
took part in the operation told Reuters that
the three Arab guerrillas aboard the bus were ;
all killed. This was confirmed by military offi--cials
in Tel Aviv.
One official said two Israeli soldiers were
lightly wounded in the operation near Rafah, a
desert town on the Egyptian frontier. Dazed
passengers were led away by jubilant soldiers,
who patted each other on the back. One
middle-aged woman sat, head in hands, and
shook uncontrollably. Seven or eight other
wounded passengers were laid out on stretchers
near the bus, which, was parked near an olive
grove. Most appeared to be suffering from
shock and were later ferried away by helicop
ters. The bus was seized on its regular evening
route from Tel Aviv south to the Mediterra
nean town of Ashkelon.

New York City's cop of the month. The depart

was sent into an apartment to determine if a
gunman involved in a hostage situation was
stiu alive. RMI has a remote control television
camera that can pan 300 degrees and police
