DIPLOMATS SAID TO BE LINKED
WITH FUGITIVE TERRORIST
KNOWN AS CARLOS
PARIS, July 10-France expelled three high-ranking Cuban diplomats today in connection
with the worldwide search for a man called Carlos, who is believed to be an important link in
an international terrorist network.
The suspect, whose real name is thought to be Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, is being sought in
the killing of two French counterintelligence agents and a Lebanese informer at a Latin
Quarter apartment on June 27.
The three killings have led the police here and in Britain to what they feel is the trail of a
major network of international terrorist agents. In the search for Carlos after the killings,
French and British policemen discovered large arms caches that linked Carlos to major
terrorism in West Germany and led them to suspect a connection between many terrorist

A DRAGNET FOR ASSASSIN
LONDON (AP)-Guns and girls, grenades and good suits, a fat billfold, airline tickets to
romantic places and nice apartments in a half dozen world capitals. This is the portrait
emerging of a jet age assassin being sought in an international manhunt.
The hunt began when the man answered his doorbell in Paris and shot dead two French
intelligence agents and a Lebanese informer. It has put four women into custody in two
capitals, accused of offenses in his wake. The assassin himself has vanished-perhaps in
Lebanon, the French police believe.
In the past few days in London, those acquainted with him have described him to
reporters as good looking, courteous, well educated, wealthy and fashionably dressed.
But his associates are men and women who have been called the most dangerous in the
world. He is said to be linked with the Japanese Red Army, the Organization for the Armed
Arab Struggle, the West German Baader-Meinhof gang, the Quebec Liberation Front, the
Turkish Popular Liberation Front, separatists in France and Spain, and the Provisional wing
of the Irish Republican Army.
When the assassin traveled-to Paris, to the Hague, to West Berlin-bombs went off;
guns cracked and there were kidnappings.
A breakthrough occurred in Paris when a Lebanese terrorist broke under questioning and
led two intelligence men to the assassin's door in Paris on June 27. He shot all three to death
and escaped. Police found his guns and notebooks containing "death lists" of prominent
people.
Yesterday the London Observer said police were hunting for the son of a Venezuelan
Communist lawyer for questioning in the triple slaying. Scotland Yard said, "We are not
denying the report," but added there was no charge against him and he was wanted only for
questioning.
The Observer identified the hunted man as Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, o...
