Q25: 25.US:HIJACKING RESPNSE AND TERRORSM
25. Now I want to ask you a few questions about the recent hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro (A-KILLY LORE-OH) by four Palestinians, and the events that followed. Just your best guess: Do you think the U.S. handling of the matter is likely to decrease terrorism against Americans, increase such terrorism, or won't it make much difference?
