World news American targets in the Netherlands warned THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) —A high alert to guard against possible Palestinian terrorist attacks was expand ed Sunday to include U.S. diplomatic and commercial offices in the Netherlands, the Dutch Justice Ministry said. The access road to the front of the U.S. Embassy in The Hague was blacked by sand-filled dumpsters at each end Sun day night, and police converged within minutes to investigate the flash of a photographer’s camera. Police presence was increased at the U.S. consulate in Amsterdam, and police spokesman Klaas Wilting said other U.S. facilities were being guarded. The alert began Thursday in the Netherlands and Scandinavia, when In terpol. the international police organiza tion. warned that Abu Nidal terrorist commandos might strike at any time against Jewish or Israeli targets. ‘There had been talk for a few days that American targets could be en dangered.” ministry spokeswoman Toos Faber told The Associated Press on Sunday. “But this morning it became more conclusive. There is an extension of the targets.” Dutch authorities warned privately that the expanded alert made guarding all potential American. Israeli and Jewish targets “practically impossible." Scandinavian officials said their alert had not been expanded to include American targets. The U.S. government has blamed the Abu Nidal faction, a dissident offshoot of the Palestine Liberation Organization, for Dec. 27 terrorist attacks that left 19 dead, including five Americans, at air ports in Vienna and Rome. Faber declined to disclose further details of the Dutch response to the new threat, in line with an official policy of confidentiality on such matters. A West German newspaper meanwhile said Sunday that Libyan loader Gul. Moammar Khadafy has ordered Palesti nian gunmen to kill Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genschar. The Hamburg-published Wild am Son ntag quoted unidentified "members of the (West German) government” as say ing Bonn received a warning from an Arab country that Genschar was in danger. A deputy spokesman for Genscher's office refused to comment, but acknowledged that security was tighten ed recently around the Foreign Ministry "because of certain indications."
