The World - News from Oct. 19, 1986
A suspected member of the Abu Nidal terrorist group arrested in London three weeks ago is being questioned by Swedish police in connection with the Feb. 28 assassination of Prime Minister Olof Palme, the London Sunday Telegraph reported. The paper said that the man, a Swedish national, is one of six people arrested three weeks ago by British anti-terrorist detectives and that he was expelled to Sweden. There was no immediate comment from investigators in Stockholm, but police sources have said they suspect a loosely linked, right-wing group of Swedes and foreigners in the slaying. The newspaper said Palme was a friend of Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, who is a bitter enemy of Abu Nidal.
