The pre Dawn arrest of Eugene Terr Eblanche head of the Neo nazi afrikaner resistance movement is certain to outrage right wingers who already Are threatening violence to prevent president . De Klerks moves toward sharing Power with the Black majority. The afrikaner resistance movement is the largest of several extreme rightist groups. Most analysts believe it could pose a serious threat to de Klerks reforms if it were to choose to take up arms. X police col. Johan Mostert told state run television that the arrested men constitute the movements leadership. Terr Eblanche has repeatedly said his group will resort to violence to prevent a Black government from coming to Power. Other right Wing groups have claimed responsibility for a number of bombings in recent months causing damage to Public buildings but resulting in  injuries. Manor observers think the bombings Are Likely to increase if de Klerk pushes ahead with his Promise to end apartheid and share Power with the country a 30 million Blacks. The 10 were arrested on charges of Public violence in connection with an aug. 9 clash Between police and thousands of movement members protesting outside super sting Falls Flat a like Buffalo Bills Waukegan 111. Up like the Buffalo Bills the Lake county police Are trying to recover from super sunday. The Bills were handily beaten by the Washington redskins while Lake county sheriffs police and Waukegan police officers would up stymied by the postal service. The police invitations to a super bowl party a in reality a sting to round up people wanted on warrants a turned out to be mostly undeliverable. A i wish it turned out better a said it. Chet Iwan chief of the Lake county sheriffs criminal investigation division. A we did learn some valuable lessons like our addresses on wanted criminals on warrants Are very outdated that our criminal element in the county appears to be moving around rapidly and changing  the agencies had sent invitations to a bogus super bowl party at the pm club in Waukegan. By halftime Only six people had arrived. One to two others wandered in after the half. A we were figuring in the Vicinity of at least 30 to 40 that we anticipated a Iwan said. A so our numbers were rather Down from what we  four to five people wanted on felony charges were arrested. The rest were for misdemeanours. A Buffalo sure did no to play up to the expectations everyone had for them a Iwan said. A at least everyone i talked to thought Buffalo would do a lot better. And our sting operation was probably something like Buffalo it certainly did no to work up to our expectations. A maybe the next time we run our sting Well have a Little better  Hall where de Klerk was speaking. Three in the group were killed. The incident was considered a watershed marking the first time police had used extensive Force against right Wing Whites. The suspects appeared briefly at a magistrates court in Venter Dorp West of Johannesburg. They were not required to enter pleas and were released on $36 bail each. A March 9 court appearance was set. A this is what one should expect in a police state a said one of men Piet Rudolph. Police gave no explanation for the lengthy period Between the incident and the arrests but such police action is not uncommon in South Africa. The timing of the arrests appears to be part of plan by de Klerk to split the right Wing and defuse the threat to his reforms. De Klerk in an address to parliament on Friday said the Issue of White self Rule could be added to the Black White discussions on a new Constitution. So far right Wing groups have boycotted the talks. The offer was aimed at the conservative party and other right wingers who have not endorsed violence and Hope to preserve apartheid through parliamentary Means. The arrest of Terr Eblanche suggests the government is now willing to take a firm stance against the More extreme elements of the right Wing. Many anti apartheid groups have accused de Klerk and the police of tolerating right wingers threats and periodic outbursts of violence.
