1. On June 27, 1976. A routine commercial flight on Air France made its way from Tel Aviv to Paris. The plane contained 248 passengers and 12 crew onboard. A stopover in Athens turned to an hijack situation.
2. While the plane was refuelling, two members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – External Operations under orders of Wadie Haddad (who had earlier broken away from the PFLP of George Habash), & two members of the German Revolutionary Cells, stormed the plane.
