P.L.O. are to kill civilians, and their prime targets are athletes (Munich), tourists (Lod, Athens, Rome), women and children (school buses, Qiryat Shemona, Ma'alot, Bet She'an).

From St. George's terrace, Father Moussa Khoury points out the only glow visible in the valley below. It comes from Qiryat Shemona, the Israeli town 13 miles away. Looking at the silhouette of a giant oak tree near the terrace, Father Khoury reflects: "It's been here for a thousand years, they say. But then so have we. And here we stay...
