Israel may ask
Associated Press
TEL AVIV, Israel ? Israel may ask
the United States to mediate between
Israel and Syria to allow Israeli troops
to withdraw from southern Lebanon,
Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir said
Saturday.
Shamir, speaking to reporters at
Ben-Gurion airport before leaving tor
the United States, was asked if he
would ask Secretary of State George
Shultz for American mediation with
Syria. "Maybe, but its not yet decided,"
he replied.
The foreign minister, who was flying
to New York to attend the U.N.
General Assembly meeting and to confer
with American and U.N. officials
on Lebanon, is also to meet Shultz in
Washington in preparation for Prime
Minicfpr Shimon Ppres' visit earlv next
month.

Associated Press
CHARLESTON ? Confessed drug
kingpin Karl Robert Byers has escaped
from the Charleston County Jail, apparently
with help from someone inside
the jail, Sheriff Charles Dawley
said Sunday.
Byers' escape was discovered at 4
p.m. Saturday, but the escape apparently
occurred at about 6 that morning.
Dawley said Sunday afternoon
he had not determined why the
discovery had not been made sooner.
When asked whether Byers had inside
help, the sheriff said, "The investigation
has turned up some things
indicating that that's a possibility. We
are pursuing that angle right now."
Dawley said his department is

negotiations," Shamir said.
Reagan administration spokesmen
have said the United States would
mediate between Israel and Syria if
asked. The last U.S.-mediated agreement
in the Middle East, the May 17,
1983, accord between Israel and
Lebanon, was canceled by the

under Syrian pressure.
A top Foreign Ministry official,
speaking on condition of anonymity,
confirmed that Shamir might raise the
question of U.S. mediation when he
meets Shultz, but he stressed that no
decision had been made.
Diplomatic sources in Tel Aviv said
earlier Saturday that after long months
of stalemate, there was significant
movement toward a negotiated agreement
on an Israeli pullout from
Lebanon.
The asiipumpnt followed a Middle
East tour by Brian Urquhart, the
scapes from Ch
assisting U.S. Marshalls and State Law
Enforcement Division agents in the
search for Byers.
Byers, 39, pleaded guilty in
February to nine counts stemming
from the Operation Jackpot drug investigation.
He was sentenced April 17
to 25 years in prison without parole
and fined $100,000 by Judge Falcon
Hawkins.
At the time, it was the toughest
sentence handed down as a result of
the ongoing Operation Jackpot probe.
Operation Jackpot is a government
investigation of marijuana smuggling
and the financiers who provide the
money for such operations.
One of the nine counts against Byers
came under the so-called kingpin

The government charged Byers was
a manager in a smuggling ring headed
by other men charged in the
investigation.
Byers had been involved with smuggling
for several years, according to
Assistant U.S. Attorney Bart Daniel.
"We're talking about innumerable
ventures to bring marijuana and
hashish into the country," Daniel said
at the sentencing.
Byers owned "a fleet of vessels" for
smuggling, set up offshore corpora
tions to launder drug proceeds and
"had connections literally across the
globe," Daniel told the court.
