I am looking for information on the MEA crash of B-720B OD-AFT enroute from Beirut to Dubai 1 Jan, 1976. There was a bomb in the forward luggage compartment, detonating at FL370. 81 people perished.
Please let me know if you have any clues as to where I could find more information.
Thx

Yup, thank you for that. That actually adds some info in addition to what has been available on other aviation-safety websites.
Still looking for some personal and off-web sources, though. I am trying to help a good friend, who lost family members in the crash. Appreciate any clues.
