According to reports reaching here from Beirut, Leila Khaled, the Arab commando implicated in last autumn’s rash of hijackings, promised an audience in Kuwait that hijackings will be resumed by the terrorists. “We shall hijack planes time again and you shall hear about this soon.” she declared. Miss Khaled’s attempt to hijack an EI AI plane was foiled last September and she was imprisoned in London where she was subsequently released in return for the safety of the Jewish hostages held on the other planes.
