NEW YaRK—As many as 7.000 PLO terrorists — almost half the nambo* of those evacuated from Beirut — have filtered, hack into Lebanon, an Israel official told the national executive committee of the Anti-Defamation League of B*nai B'rith at its recent meeting in Houston.

Documents reveal undjsputable Soviet/PLO links
JERUSALEM A mass of secR^ Palestine Liberation Organization documents discovered by the Israel Defence Forces at abandoned command posts in southern Lebanon during the fighting there in the summer, underline the strong links between the Soviet Union and the PLO.
There has been and continues to be a steadily growing flow of Soviet, Czedi and East German arms and equipment to the PLO, largely via East Germany and Hungary.
One of the seized documents, dated May of this year, contains the minutes of talks held a month earlier • between East German and Hungar-ia|t; officials and a PLO military ddegation.
The talks covered arins and ammunition deals and training for PLX> officers in the military academies of the two countries, r During the discussions, the East German Defence Minister asked for ai list of equipment required by the Pilo, so that he could submit it for aii>|^roval '^in the name of the party 2^ the State . , ■ , •:i^lie PLO list inchiid^ r^uestsfbr majdhine guns and anti<airaaft cannon and ammunition^ a|^?we,)l ^as field-glasses, medibrneaiidji^^

The document also reveals that PLO personnel were trailed aidiie-side East German ofticerls^ Other documents show that this training dates back tpat least 1973. ^
The scatle and variety of recent training activity, together mriith tbe sheer volume of arms shipments, indicates that the Soviet Union hoped to build the terrorist groups into a regular .army.
Documents dated October, 1981, and February, 1982, show that PLO personnel underwent a variety df military training courses between 1977 and 1981, not only in the Soviet Union, but also in East Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
The Soviet Union also co-operates with the PLO in intelligence work, mainly exdianging data about Israeli military activities.
In return, the PLO has helped Soviet intelligence to gather information and conduct subversive activities in the Middle East.
