Police threw a tight security net around Heathrow Airport today following anonymous threats to murder two El Al crew members and reports from Interpol that the Arab terrorist, Leila Khaled, was flying to London from the Continent. The threat to the crewmen was reported by the Israel Embassy here.
Police went to the Europa Hotel in Grosvenor Square where the El Al crew was staying. Their plane was scheduled to leave today for Tel Aviv. The whereabouts of Miss Khaled, who tried unsuccessfully to hijack an El Al jet in Sept. 1970, was the subject of police reports from various countries. Interpol officials warned Danish authorities today that she might be in Denmark or Sweden with a group of Palestinian terrorists possibly planning another hijack. Swedish police refused to comment. A spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization claimed she was in Beirut.
There will be no bulletin Tuesday Sept. 19 due to Yom Kippur.
