Guerrilla Leader Threatens Jordan Amid Crackdown Tide
Yasir Arafat warned four Jordanian army brigades besiege Jordan as a prelude to a crackdown on guerrillas. He pledged to turn Jordan into a graveyard for plotters and rejected any peaceful settlement, pledging the cease-fire and talks will be shattered. Reports of guerrilla attacks on Israeli settlements along the Jordan River followed, with Israeli forces returning fire and no casualties reported. The incident came as Al Fatah accused King Hussein of moving tanks near Amman and Lebanon of bracing for clashes with guerrillas.
