Two Palestinian terrorists, at the opening of their trial here on charges of throwing a bomb in the Brussels Airport and injuring 12 people last April 16, told the court that their original plan was to seize an El Al plane and take its passengers hostage. The two terrorists, Khaled Dayekh Dokh and Husseini Rad Mahmoud, said that they threw the bomb into a crowded corridor in the airport when they realized they could not reach the Israeli plane, which arrived later with its passengers from Tel Aviv. They said they wanted to kill as many Israelis as possible once it became clear they could not take hostages.
