- Description:
- Alternative title: Meir and Nixon ... Plans for a New Vietnam in the M.E. Background information: In September 1970, “Frustrated with and feeling threatened by the Palestine Liberation Organization’s involvement in Jordanian politics, King Hussein declares war on the PLO and imposes martial law. Three thousand people lost their lives in the fighting that ensued between the Jordanian and the PLO forces. In a peace agreement brokered by the Arab League and by Gamel Abdel Nasser, leader of Egypt, the PLO agreed to move its headquarters from Jordan to Lebanon.” ( A History of the Israeli - Palestinian Conflict. PBS.org. http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2001/promises/timeline2.html ) Background information: On February 21, 1973, “Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114, a Boeing 727 with 113 men, women and children aboard, was nearing the end of its regular run from Tripoli, Libya, to Cairo ... As it was preparing to begin its descent to Cairo the unarmed airliner developed compass problems and strayed out of Egyptian-controlled airspace into the skies over the Sinai peninsula, then occupied by Israeli forces ... Within minutes, Israeli Phantom jet fighters had moved into action to intercept the plane. And within minutes after that, one of the fighters had shot it out of the sky. One hundred and six persons, including all but one of the mostly French crew, were killed. The victims were mainly Egyptians and Libyans, and included one American.” ( Who Remembers LAA Flight 114? (1983, September 19). Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Page 3. http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/091983/830919003.html )
