That was quick. Looks like everybody wanted a piece of that one.

I was reading up on the "Operation Thunderbolt", as they called it. An interesting flashpoint in history. Entebbe is in Uganda, and the rescue mission was supported by neighboring Kenya. The hijacking was supported by Idi Amin of Uganda. A hundred troops were flown in because Ugandan soldiers were aiding the hijackers.

After the rescue, Amin retaliated by killing hundreds of Kenyans in his country.
