Its aim is to assassinate Anwar Sadat and pave the way for a Soviet-managed coup in Cairo. The action takes Bruno, in the footsteps of Cain...
Every flight has a squad of security officers, or "sheriffs," scattered among the passengers-usually two or three on Boeing 707 flights and six to eight on 747 jumbos. The sheriffs, mostly combat veterans, carry Beretta pistols under their coats and are primed for trouble. In 1970, in the only other skyjack attempt aboard an El Al plane, they shot one of the two terrorists to death over the North Sea and disarmed the other, the celebrated Palestinian Leila Khaled...
