Abstract
We consider a relation between the Huygens Principle (HP) in gravity and the self-interaction force. We show that the self-force for an electric particle in the plane gravitational wave space-time has no tail term even the vector Green function does not obey the HP. The reason for this observation is that even vector potential does not obey the HP, the electromagnetic field does obey.
