DIPLOMATS SAID TO BE LINKED

WITH FUGITIVE TERRORIST

KNOWN AS CARLOS

Paris, 10 July - France expelled three high-ranking Cuban diplomats today in connection with the world-wide search for a man called Carlos, who is believed to be an important link in an international terrorist network.

The suspect, whose real name is thought to be Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, is being sought in the killing of two French counter-intelligence agents and a Lebanese informer at a Latin Quarter aparI'ment on 27 June.

The three killings have led the police here and in Britain to what they feel is the trail of a major network of international terrorist agents. In the search for Carlos after the killings, French and British policemen discovered large arms caches that linked Carlos to major terrorism in West Germany and led them to suspect a connection between many terrorist acts throughout Europe.

REPORTED SEEN IN LONDON

Since then Carlos has been reported seen in London and in Beirut, Lebanon.

SYNDICATED DISPATCH

A DRAGNET FOR ASSASSIN

London (AP) - Guns and girls, grenades and good suits, a well-stuffed wallet, airline tickets to romantic places and nice aparI'ments in half a dozen world capitals. This is the portrait emerging of a jet-age assassin being sought in an international manhunt

The hunt began when the man answered his doorbell In Paris and shot dead two French intelligence agents and a Lebanese informer. It has put four women into custody in two capitals, accused of offences in his wake. The assassin himself has vanished - perhaps in Lebanon, the French police believe.

In the past few days in London, those acquainted with him have described him to reporters as good looking, courteous, well educated, wealthy and fashionably dressed.

But his associates are men and women who have been called the most dangerous in the world. He is said to be linked with the Japanese Red Army, the Organization for the Armed Arab Struggle, the West German Baader-Meinhof gang, the Quebec Liberation Front, the Turkish Popular Liberation Front, separatists in France and Spain and the Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army.

When the assassin travelled - to Paris, to the Hague, to West Berlin - bombs went off, guns cracked and there were kidnappings.
