Subject: Most Famous Airline Hijacking by "Arab Terrorists"
MASTERMINDED by ISRAEL?
Israeli agents 'helped Entebbe hijackers'

An extraordinary claim that Israeli intelligence may have had a
hand in an airline hijacking before sending in commandos to rescue
the hostages at Entebbe was made to the Foreign Office.
It came via David Colvin, the first secretary at the British
embassy in Paris, according to a newly released National Archives
file.
He heard it from a contact in the Euro-Arab Parliamentary
Association three days after the Air France flight from Tel Aviv to
Paris was seized in mid-air by Palestinians and German terrorists
on June 27, 1976.
Mr Colvin told his superiors that his source suggested that the
attack was carried out by the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine with help from the Israeli Security Service, the Shin Bet.
It was designed to torpedo the rival Palestine Liberation
Organisation's standing in France and to prevent what they saw as a
growing rapprochement between the PLO and the Americans.
''My contact said that the PFLP had attracted all sorts of wild
elements, some of whom had been planted by the Israelis,'' Mr
Colvin added. The message was received without comment by the
Foreign Office but later officials recorded that a journalist from
the Liverpool Post, Leo Murray, had also told them that a splinter
group of PFLP was planning a series of spectacular incidents to
disrupt contacts between the PLO leader Yasser Arafat and the US.
An official noted: 'If, as Mr Murray's sources allege, the aim of
the Entebbe hijacking was to prevent the development of relations
between Arafat and the West, and Arafat knew this, it would provide
another motive for Arafat's recent approach to the French in Cairo
warning us of further attacks.''
Most of the file is taken up with Foreign Office attempts to
distance itself from the Israeli raid while privately admitting
that the Israelis were probably justified in sending their troops
into President Idi Amin's Uganda.
Frank Wheeler, the first secretary, reported that there was
abundant evidence of Ugandan collaboration with the hijackers.
Palestinians had been brought from Mogadishu in President Amin's
private jet to join the hijackers, according to the file.
