Ex-hostages return to American soil
Pirates tell why they hijacked ship as Reagan praises U.S. Navy forces
By The Associated Press
American passengers from the Italian cruise ship hi-
jacked by Palestinian gunmen returned home Saturday
aboard a military jet, ending their ordeal ot political
piracy and murder after a stop in Sicily to identify their
former captors.
Relatives waited at a hotel at the Newark, N.J., Inter-
national Airport, where the 17 returning passengers
were to be taken by bus for a private reunion and
debriefing by FBI and State Department officials.
In Italy, meanwhile, the alleged pirates told why they
hijacked the ship. And while Egypt's leader Saturday
criticized the United States for its actions in capturing
the pirates. President Reagan was calling the ship from
which planes took off to make the capture giving his
thanks
Vernon Walters, the U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, w as at the airport to greet the passengers
“I plan to tell them we’re happy to have them home,
but that is tinged with sadness," Walters said before the
plane arrived. "These people will be brought to justice
and made to pay for the barbarous crime they commit-
ted "
The plane carried the widow of 69-year-old Leon Kl-
inghoffer. the wheelchair-bound New Yorker killed
aboard the Achille Lauro before the pirates surrendered
Wednesday
The military charter left Cairo, Egypt, Friday, and
landed at the U S. Air Force Rhein-Main Air Base near
Frankfurt early Saturday. It took off for the United
States shortly before » a m. (3a m.CDT).
The plane's arrival at Rhein-Main was delayed by a
stopover in Sicily, where some of the former hostages
viewed the hijackers, said Michael Canning, the U.S.
Embassy spokesman in Rome.
The four Palestinians suspected of hijacking the ship
told Italian investigators they decided to commandeer
the Achille Lauro after a waiter spotted them cleaning
their weapons in their cabin, the Italian ANSA news
agency reported Saturday.
Quoting unidentified Italian magistrates questioning
the four hijackers. ANSA said the hijackers originally
planned to mount an attack in Ashdod, Israel, the ship's
next port of call after Port Said, Egypt
The news agency’s report could not be confirmed im-
mediately.
They had to change their plan after the waiter unex-
pectedly entered their room and saw the weapons, the
hijackers reportedly told the magistrates
The waiter tried to run away, but he was promptly
caught by the hijackers and taken hostage. ANSA quoted
the Palestinians as telling the investigators
In Cairo, Egypt, meanwhile. President Hosni
Mubarak accused the United States of piracy for forcing
down an Egyptian aircraft in Italy and said the incident
has caused “coolness and strain" in U.S.-Egyptian rela-
tions
He called the interception on Thursday, which brought
the four hijackers to Italy for trial, "unheard-of under
any international law or code I am very wounded "
He said he thought to himself after the Boeing 737's
pilot reported he had been intercepted by unidentified
fighters, “Which country would commit an act of piracy
in this way?”
"I would never have imagined it to be a friendly coun-
try," he said "I was shocked when I heard it was the
United States.”
Reagan telephoned "well done and Godspeed” Satur-
day to the officers and men of the aircraft carrier
Saratoga, saying the Achille Lauro hijackers m ight have
escaped justice without their efforts
Aircraft from the Saratoga, stationed in the Mediter
ranean. intercepted an Egyptian airplane that was tak
ing the accused hijackers to safe haven Thursday night
(EDT i and forced it to land at a NATO air base in Italy,
where the terrorists were taken into custody
Marc Weinberg, a White House spokesman, said
Reagan placed a telephone call from Camp David, in
Maryland, to Rear Adm David Jeremiah, commander
of the Saratoga battle group
“1 just couldn't resist calling to express my apprecia-
tion to the officers and men of the USS Saratoga battle
group and air wing for their extraordinary efforts in suc-
cessfully interdicting the Achille Lauro hijackers.
Reagan was quoted as saying
"1 want to let you know how proud I am to be your
commander in chief The American people and those
who respect the values of freedom and liberty are in-
debted to you for your steadfastness," the president
said
"Without your tireless efforts and skill the terrorists
who seized tin- Achille Lauro and brutally murdered one
of our citizens might have escaped justice You have my
gratitude r.nd that of all of your country men Well done
and Godspeed."
Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes said Friday a
task force from (he White House. State Department and
Justice Department was working on a request for ex-
tradition of the terrorists captured in a dramatic U.S.
military operation.
But Keagan. asked hether the United States would be
satisfied if the hijackers were tried in Italy, said. "That
remains to be decided as to how far we go or how far we
pursue this What we want is justice done
Despite their outrage over Egypt's handling of the
Achille Lauro hostage crisis. Keagan administration of-
ficials say they want to keep the incident from impairing
U.S.-Egyptian relations
The administration seemed eager on Friday to look to
the future in its ties with Egypt rather than dwell on
Egyptian actions the previous day that officials said
could have permitted the four Palestinian hijackers of
the Italian cruise ship to go free
