Yigal Eyal, security officer at the Israeli Embassy in Oslo who was ousted from Norway last week, arrived at Lod Airport from Amsterdam last night under special security measures. Reporters were not permitted to see Eyal who, with his wife and infant daughter, was whisked away from the plane by special car before his luggage was removed.

Eyal was declared persona non grata by the Norwegian Government because of his alleged connection with the killing in Lillehammer of a Moroccan national, Ahmed Boushicki. Two other Israelis were arrested in Eyal’s home by Norwegian authorities in connection with the killing.
