Cyprus will release the surviving Egyptian commandos who aided the aborted Entebbe style raid at Larnaca Airport but will not extradite the two Arab terrorists to Cairo. Cypriot authorities will try the two killers in Cypriot courts while the Egyptians depart with their arms. The incident left 15 Egyptians dead, 16 wounded, four dozen survivors aboard the jetliner, and 11 hostages. Cairo and Beirut offered conflicting accounts of the attackers’ affiliations as Egypt requests to return home are weighed.

Relentless snow surprises forecasters as Kansas endures another round of wintry weather. Up to an inch may fall in Lawrence tonight, with gusts over 30 mph creating blowing snow and slick streets.
