Mihyi was apologetic for his role in the terrorist attack. Gerstel advocated for his parole as shown in the 2002 documentary My Terrorist.[6] References1. ^{{Cite book|first1=Barry|last1=Rubin|first2=Judith Colp|last2=Rubin|title=Chronologies of Modern Terrorism|year=2015|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ynNsBgAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&hl=no&pg=PA193#v=onepage&q&f=false|publisher=Routledge|page=193|isbn=9781317474654}} {{Palestinian militancy attacks in the 1970s}}{{coord missing|London}}{{DEFAULTSORT:London attack, 1978}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite news|title=1978: Two dead after El Al crew ambushed|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/august/20/newsid_2546000/2546593.stm|work=BBC News|date=20 August 1978}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite news|title=Terrorist Attack on El Al Mini-bus Kills Airline Stewardess, injures 8|url=https://www.jta.org/1978/08/21/archive/terrorist-attack-on-el-al-mini-bus-kills-airline-stewardess-in-jures-8|agency=JTA|date=21 August 1978}} 4. ^1 {{Cite news|title=Irit Gidron, Terrorist Victim, Buried Alongside Victims of Munich Massacre|url=https://www.jta.org/1978/08/24/archive/irit-gidron-terrorist-victim-buried-alongside-victims-of-munich-massacre|agency=JTA|date=23 August 1978}} 5. ^{{Cite news|title=Terrorist Incidents against Jewish Communities and Israeli Citizens Abroad, 1968-2003|url=https://www.ict.org.il/Article/893/Terrorist-Incidents-against-Jewish-Communities-and-Israeli-Citizens-Abroad-1968-2003#gsc.tab=0|publisher=International Institute for Counter-Terrorism|date=20 December 2003}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=https://jewishjournal.com/culture/arts/7962/ |newspaper=Jewish Journal |title=‘Terrorist’ Helped Israeli Heal |date=2003-05-09 |accessdate=2018-11-12 | author=Naomi Pfefferman}} 7 : August 1978 events in Europe|1978 in London|Palestinian terrorist incidents in Europe|Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine|El Al accidents and incidents|Terrorist incidents in 1978|Terrorist incidents in London |
