Abstract
- The article focuses on the landing of Iraqi Airways Flight 006 from Beirut International Airport bound for Baghdad in Israel. The move is attributed to the Israeli Phantom jets pouncing and ordering the captain to fly instead to a military airbase near Haifa. When the plane landed, Israeli troops boarded and ordered the passengers to put their hands over their heads and exit one at a time, men first, and proceed to a small hall for questioning. Israelis hope to capture Dr. George Habash and three aides in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, but, they were not on the flight.
