Last week PMW released the transcript of Palestinian Authority television's
glorification of the most murderous Palestinian terror attack in Israel's
history. Today we are resending this bulletin with the video link to view
the program.

The terror attack on March 11, 1978, involved a bus hijacking that left 37
civilians dead. The Palestinian Authority celebrated the 20th anniversary of
the attack with an hour-long TV special about the hijacking. The program
included file footage of PLO training camps, and interviews with a number of
terrorists describing the planning and implementation of the attack.

The program opened with the narrator glorifying the attack as:
"... one of the most important and most prominent special operations,
executed by the Palestinian revolution by sea, on the coast between Haifa
and Tel Aviv. This operation, carried out by a team of heroes and led by the
heroic fighter Dalal Mughrabi, had great impact on continuing events of the
Arab-Israeli conflict."
