HC Deb 07 May 1986 vol 97 c188W
73. Dr. McDonald

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish the evidence Her Majesty's Government have of official Government support for, or tacit acceptance of, the presence of members of the Abu Nidal terrorist organisation in their territory; and what action Her Majesty's Government are taking in the light of this evidence against the countries concerned.

Mr. Renton

The Abu Nidal organisation maintains offices in Libya and Syria. The most recent measures taken to counter Libya's sponsorship of international terrorism were described in the statement of my right hon. and learned Friend made on 23 April. He and I expressed our concern about Abu Nidal to the Foreign Minister of Syria during his visit to London in February.
