Speculation about the terrorists' connections increased after Bonn announced that four of West Germany's 20 most wanted terrorists had been arrested in the Yugoslav city of Zagreb. Authorities there jailed them for entering the country illegally. The Yugoslavs identified the four with the help of the computerized, increasingly efficient West German anti-terrorist police...
...signed "Brigitte." The swallower insisted that he was simply a messenger, and that the note was about the "Russell tribunal" (a radical political colloquium in Frankfurt, named for British Lord Bertrand Russell, that discussed West German civil rights violations).

They also turn out an abundance of consumer products that make Belgrade, Zagreb and other large Yugoslav cities look more West European than Balkan...
Flying at 29,000 ft. near Zagreb, Yugoslavia, last week, Lufthansa Pilot Josef Kröse chanced to glance above him. There he saw a scene that caused him to stare in disbelief. Four thousand feet overhead, at the same altitude, two other jetliners were closing fast from opposite directions. As Kröse looked on in horror, the planes smashed head-on into each other.

Reconstructing events, Yugoslav authorities were told that the DC-9 had been cleared shortly before the crash to climb to 35,000 ft. But the area around Zagreb-a key sky junction of routes to Turkey, Greece and Mediterranean resorts-is one of Europe's busiest air corridors, and the Yugoslav pilot was unaware that the British Trident was already flying at that altitude. Zagreb's air controllers may well be responsible for this fatal error. The preliminary opinion of Vjeceslav Jakovac, the Yugoslav judge heading the investigation, was that the controllers probably had incorrectly assessed the altitude...
