Script

Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban interviewed while on a visit to London about Palestinian terrorists kidnapping Russian Jews in transit to Israel. The Austrian government have agreed to close down the Schoenau transit camp near Vienna in exchange for freeing the hostages.

Shotlist

1. mcu Eban interview SOUNDBITE for a govt to abandon its obligations and laws for the sake of two terrorists would be most extraordinary. Austira’s act could be termed surrender. Only thing to be bound by promises made under this kind of duress. Evidence is not strong that the hoostages would have been killed. Austrian government should have bargained harder. It’s not the easy way out. A country that gives in to terrorism leaves itself open to other terrorist acts.
