...week's end the logistical details of the operation remained sketchy. It is believed, however, that a Belgian charter company, Trans European Airways, has been flying Boeing 707s to Khartoum, Sudan's capital, picking up the Falashas and flying them to Israel via Brussels and other cities in Western Europe. Israel faces considerable problems in assimilating its new Ethiopian residents.

...years ago, the Belgian-born Rich controlled a group of companies from his New York office that annually traded some $10 billion worth of such commodities as oil, gold, aluminum, sulfur and sugar. But the FBI, apparently tipped off by a group of Texas oil traders, had begun looking into Rich's dealings and was soon joined by agents of the Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service and Customs Service.
