On the damp windy morning of April 16, 1996, a brazen group of Islamic terrorists attacked the crew of a Delta Air Lines jet as it landed at Atlanta’s Hartsfield airport. The heavily-armed Algerian hijackers held 225 passengers aboard the Lockheed L-1011, among them seven French athletes, an Indian ambassador, and a U.S. State Department escort. The rebels identified themselves as Martyrs of Allah.
