Ugandan President Idi Amin returned his private twin engine jet to Israel saying he seeks peace in the Middle East. Israel Aircraft Industries welcomed the move while airport sources noted Amin did not pay for the seven seat red and white Commodore aircraft. Amin said on Israeli radio I am not a thief and I am not a terrorist and I want peace in the Middle East. He ordered a special commission to probe the Entebbe raid and said he commanded the Ugandan defense during the operation.
