I have a book that describes the Malta and Cyprus incidents differently. For example, it says that Unit 777 entered the EgyptAir Boeing 737 through a hole in the roof it created with explosives, but too much explosives were used, killing some hostages. The book also says that it was Unit 777 that used HE grenades and sprayed the plane with gunfire. It also notes that snipers accidentally shot some fleeing hostages, mistaking them for snipers.

This seems to support what I remember reading. [1] Axeman89 22:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Unit 777 committed some mistakes - as any other unit may do - but surely they didn't neither spray the plane with fire nor throw hand grenades. This is a real eye witness statement. Thank you.
