guerrillas DAMASCUS AP The Syrian government han ed three proPalestinian guerrillas at dawn today in swift retri ution for bloody raid on Damascus hotel just 24 hours earlier fourth guerrilla and four hostages were killed and 34 hostages wounded in sevenhour battle for the Semiramis Hotel The three terrorists were hanged in public square facing the luxury hotel Their bodies clad only in white tunics were left dangling in nooses for hours as thousands of Syrians pressed around the gallows and climbed to rooftops to see the victims The guerrillas called themselves the Black June group and apparently were protesting Syrias military intervention that began last June in the Lebanese civil war More than 12000 Syrian troops entered Lebanon to enforce ceasefire but they eventually joined with Lebanese Christian militiamen fighting the Palestinians and their leftist Moslem allies Before they were executed the three went on Syrian state television and said they belonged to Al Fatah the biggest Palestinian guerrilla group They also said they had been trained in Iraq which has supported radical Arab organizations and has denounced the Syrian role in Lebanon NOT INVOLVED PLO But in Beirut spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization the Palestinian umbrella group headed by Yassar Arafat denied that any PLO members were responsi ble Arafat also heads Al Fatah which is considered less radical than some Palestinian guerrilla units We will never go easy on such crimes Syrian President Hafez Assad said in statement issued Sunday night We shall hit back very hard We denounce this criminal action commit ted by gang that acted as if it were in Israel Syrian government statement said the four hostages who died Sunday were killed by the terrorists Three of the slain hostages were women and witnesses said all were Arabs Accounts from witnesses and security officers indicated the four terrorists drove up to the hotel at about am Sunday They asked for room were told none was available left and returned with submachineguns and grenades Security officers said the terrorists moved from floor to floor of the fivestorey hotel rousing guests from their sleep and tak ing them captive Someone called police and the hotel was sur rounded IIURIED GRENADES Security forces cut off communications to the hotel and the guerrillas holding the top floor opened fire and hurled grenades down on the Syrians Military police and plainclothes agents returned the fire and besieged the building for about four hours until Syrian Premier Abdul Rahman Khleifawi and Defence Minister Mustafa Tlas who were at the scene ordered the assault Some troops dashed into the lobby and worked their way upstairs while others clambered up firetruck ladders and entered through upperfloor windows firing automatic weapons and tear gas grenades After furious threehour bat tle they subdued the terrorists The guerrillas had little time during the takeover to issue demands saying only that they wanted to see the ambassadors of South Yemen and Algeria both countries identified with ex tremist guerrilla groups But on Syrian television before they were hanged the three said they sought the release of guerrillas arrested over the last six weeks for bombing buildings in Damascus Palestinian sources in Beirut said the hotel attack and the confusion over who was responsible may
