West Germany to try TWA hijacker Hamadi in its courts
U.S. agrees not to extradite Mohammed Ali Hamadi for the June 1985 TWA hijacking. Meese secured assurances he would face air piracy and murder charges in West Germany, where he is charged only with explosives. Hamadi’s arrest followed crew identifications and hostage crises involving 39 Americans.

Vatican says meeting Waldheim is morally right
A Vatican official defended Pope John Paul II’s planned audience with Austria’s President Kurt Waldheim, calling postponement morally wrong. In Rome, four American Jewish protesters arrived wearing striped Nazi camp shirts and yellow stars to oppose Waldheim’s visit. Waldheim, accused of wartime Nazi complicity, has denied wrongdoing and is barred from the United States. He previously led the UN and became Austria’s president in July, with the Vatican trip seen as his first major overseas visit.
