And, as in this picture, the hand of Ribbentrop will be held out “in welcome”, with the same supercilious, sneering expression on his face. The only difference will be that Yugoslavian Premier Cvetkovitch will be the victim this time, instead of Bulgarian Premier Filoff.

Testrake from Richmond, Missouri, emerges from the cockpit of his hijacked airliner 19 June 1985 at Beirut airport to talk to newsmen while a Shi'ite Moslem terrorist (background) holds him at gunpoint. The Lebanese Shi'ite Moslem gunmen, reputedly members of Hezbollah (the Party of God), hijacked the TWA jetliner 14 June 1985 with 153 people on board, after taking off from Athens to Rome. After twice flying to Beirut and Algiers, and releasing more than 100 hostages, the hijackers landed for the third time in Beirut. They demanded the release of over 700 prisoners, mostly Shi'ites, from Israeli jails and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Southern Lebanon. After they killed a young US Marine 15 June and released five of hostages, the terrorists freed all passengers 30 June. Americans were then driven in a Red Cross convoy to Damascus before flying to a US base in West Germany.

The second phase, designed to evacuate the IDF from the occupied central and eastern sector, including Beka'a valley, began 03 March and was accelerated during April as the majority of Shi'ite community of the south attacked IDF in retreat.

The second phase, designed to evacuate the IDF from the occupied central and eastern sector, including Beka'a valley, began 03 March and was accelerated during April as the majority of Shi'ite community of the south attacked IDF in retreat. This prompted the Israelis to pursue an "Iron Fist" policy, attacking Shi'te villages and detaining hundreds of suspected guerrilla fighters. IDF invaded Lebanon 06 June 1982 when a force of 20,000 men crossed the border and drove northwards into Lebanon.
