Celebrating most lethal terror attack in Israel's history

The most lethal Palestinian terror attack in Israel's history was carried out on March 11, 1978, when a bus was hijacked and 37 civilians were killed. Yesterday, on the anniversary of this attack, the Palestinian Authority celebrated the hijacking with an hour-long TV special. The program included file film of PLO training camps, and interviews with a number of terrorists describing the planning and implementation of the attack.
The program opened with the narrator glorifying the attack as:
"One of the most important and most prominent special actions, executed by the Palestinian revolution by sea, on the coast between Haifa and Tel Aviv. This action, carried out by a group of heroes and led by the heroic fighter Dalal Mughrabi, had a great impact on continuing events of the Arab-Israeli conflict."
