On 27 June 1976, four terrorists belonging to a splinter faction of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine under the orders of Wadie Haddad boarded and hijacked an Air France Airbus A300 at Athens. With President Idi Amin's approval, the terrorists divert the airliner and its hostages to Entebbe Airport in Uganda.
