Through two days of testimony, Major General Arnaldo Ochoa Sanchez sat with his head bowed, absently fingering his uniform, his downcast eyes glazed with an expression that suggested dejection or resignation. He neither smiled when the tribunal of 47 generals and admirals praised his past acts of military valor in places as far-flung as Angola and Ethiopia nor frowned when it branded him a traitor and called for his execution.

He, as well as the Reaganauts, seemed keenly aware that the apprehension of the Palestinian hijackers represented a short-term victory but that the episode might even prompt new outrages. Said a senior intelligence official: "I expect terrorists to change tactics and attack U.S. officials and facilities again, maybe even in the U.S." The nature of terrorism is such that no one can tell where the next...
