ANNEX<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\tCommunique issued on 4<\/u> <\/u><\/i>January 1978 by the Coordinating Bureau <\/u>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tof Non-Aligned Countries concerning the assassination of <\/u>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tMr. Said Hamami, Representative of the Palestine Liberation<\/u>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tOrganization in London<\/u>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>The Coordinating Bureau of Non-Aligned Countries heard today with profound sorrow and indignation the news of the assassination in London of Mr. Said Hamami, the Representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the United Kingdom.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>The    Coordinating Bureau vehemently condemns this dastardly outrage as an act that threatens all efforts to bring about a peaceful,  honourable and enduring settlement of the Middle East problem which would include the  granting of their legitimate rights to the Arab people of Palestine.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>The Co-ordinating Bureau calls upon the Government  of the United Kingdom, on whose territory the crime was committed, and on all those opposed to terrorist activities of this type directed against representatives of genuine liberation movements, to use their utmost endeavours to ensure that justice is swiftly meted out to all those responsible for the organization and perpetration of this foul murder.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>The Coordinating Bureau must assure the  international community that atrocities of this nature will,  far from weakening support for the Palestinian cause,  further strengthen the resolve of the friends of the Palestinian Arabs to intensify their efforts to secure the attainment of their legitimate national rights against all forces that are marshalled to frustrate this objective.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tThe Coordinating Bureau extends to the Palestine Liberation Organization and to the bereaved family of the late Mr. Hamami its sincere condolences at the death of a valiant fighter for the rights of his people.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
