Conf? By MARK PLATTE Editor's Note: This is the second article in a three-part 1 series on the terrorism II conference held in Bellagio, || Italy. li During the second day of 11 the gonference, the un- ||| ^Ia*3 scvji cidi y ui uw mmian y R;?? of Interior in Rome, Angelo i Sanza, described his |j country's efforts to control gg and deal with the terrorist |j Red Brigade group that |j kidnapped Gen. James m Dozier in late 1981. b The Red Brigade is also I responsible for the murder of premier Aldo Moro. Sanza, through an English interpretation, told of the eiioris 10 tree uozier ana t related that more than 300 people connected with the i Red Brigade have been arrested since the Dozier j release. I Ariel Merari, professor of j International Relations at | Tel Aviv University, , discussed the terrorist acts of the Palestine Liberation Organization. "The PLO ] receives $85 million per year from Saudi Arabia plus pocket money," Merari said. "The Soviet Union channels arms through the PLO to be given to terrorists all over the globe." Meran tola ot tne training locations for terrorists, listing Nigeria, Libya and Vienna where members of the Irish Republican Army and the Red Brigade have been trained. "Terrorists are given more leverage being Palestinian," Merari said. "Expect this to continue. Watch for intense increase in Palestinian terrorism if the Palestinian political position is weakened." _ According to Franco Ferracuti, a professor of forensic psychiatry at the University of Rome, the method of forecasting terrorism, a subject on which he spoke, is both good and bad. In a paper presented to the conference titled "Diplomacy, Terrorism and Low-Level Conflict: Methodology of Forecasting," Ferracuti cited, "In a way, terrrorists are somewhat helpful. Their need for an audience, and, in most instances, their highly politicized behavioral ft omo m Q If O C fi tn C ' 1^/a L w 1 HO III U U V u \# V forecasting feasible."

Thp nrnfpssnr stressed a **v jr ? multilateral understanding and dealing with the terrorist problem, stating, "Terrorists have proved their capacity to cross national boundaries and to internationalize their activities. Nation-states must react accordingly." Executive Director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies at Georgetown University, Robert Kupperman, attacked the media for its coverage of terrorist events and argued that the "terrorist event has become a showpiece of the media." Kupperman, in a brief paper titled, "Terrorism in the 1980s: Master Conpji Ic Ell I Break Offer goo seeks To :ipants of the terrorism < i 8-12 at the Rockefeller spiracy or Loose Confederacy," said, "No 0 political figure can succeed C when the media, however * subtly, turns accusative. 1 This was evident in the d Iranian Hostage situation ? and the Libyan hit team 1 threat where two separate f presidencies were affected, * in various degrees, by j terrorist tactics.'' 1 Kupperman added that the 1 media's change in tone 5 during the end of the hostage ] crisis proved a major reason for President Carter's electoral defeat. i In addition, said Kup- < perman, the treat of a Libyan death squad forced President Reagan- into a "ctool u/hifh was an "embarrassing form of governmental decapitation." Thus, concluded Kupperman, the media serves as an effective tool for terrorists, something he said should be drastically altered.

In a move to combat terrorism, Jacques Leaute of the Prais Institut de Criminologie said France has abolished capital * A !*__ punisnmeni recenny. The immediate effect of this move is for France to align itself with the rest of Western Europe, all of whose countries have outlawed capital punishment.
