Things went wrong from the start. One team of four set off in mid-afternoon in a rented yellow Morris Marina to strike at the Nicosia residence of Israeli Ambassador Rahamim Timor. Caught in heavy traffic that threatened to wreck their timetable, the Arabs raced conspicuously down the oncoming traffic lane of Grivas Avenue and through a series of red traffic lights. Other cars had to brake suddenly to avoid collisions, and one of these cars was driven by an off-duty policeman. He immediately alerted headquarters to have the "crazy driver" of the Morris picked up "before he kills...
...Israeli is also on trial-ex-El Al Security Man Mordechai Rahamim, who jumped from the plane and shot one of the raiders. While free on $23,000 bail, he has been serving as Premier Golda Meir's personal bodyguard. Advised by a battery of lawyers that includes one of the Eichmann prosecutors, he denied charges of manslaughter "under extenuating circumstances," maintaining that he had fired in self-defense.

One terrorist threw away his gun, and a fireman took a second gun away from another. Plunging toward the milling group, Rahamim fired three shots at close range, killing one of the Arabs, Abdel Moshen Hassan, a 32-year-old Jordanian. The police then took into custody his three companions, including one woman, a 22-year-old schoolteacher named Amena Dahbor. All three claimed to be Palestinian...
Swiss police said later that the four had arrived ten days before, and had destroyed their passports, evidently to shield Arab governments from blame. They will face a battery of charges in Swiss courts. As for Rahamim, who was also arrested, his expected plea of self-defense will turn on whether or not the slain terrorist was disarmed before he was shot-a point the Swiss were still investigating...
