Palestinian hijacker in Feile video-link.
(From Belfast Telegraph)
Byline: Michael McHugh
A Palestinian plane hijacker will give a talk to the West Belfast Festival via video-link because she has been denied a visa for the UK.
Arrangements are being made to use the innovative technology because Leila Khaled has been refused permission to enter Northern Ireland to give a talk at St Mary's University College on Tuesday.
Ms Khaled is a member of the Palestine National Council and shot to prominence in 1970 when she was held in London after the Black September plane hijacking crisis.
While unionists have welcomed the decision to snub what they regard as an "apologist for terror" the Ireland/Palestine Solidarity Campaign has been lobbying for the decision to be rescinded.
"She has been in the UK twice in the past and she was due to make a wide-ranging visit here involving both communities and we feel we could learn from that," Kathleen Connell from the campaign said.
