Reward offered by Bloch family
The family of Mrs Dora Bloch, the British-Israeli woman, aged 74, believed murdered in Uganda after the Israeli rescue raid on Entebbe Airport, has offered “a substantial reward” for information leading to the capture of Idi Amin, NZPA reports from London. The announcement was made by Mr Greville Janner, a Labour member of Parliament and a close friend of the Bloch family. Mrs Bloch was aboard an Air France airliner that was hijacked in 1976 by Arab terrorists. She was taken from Entebbe Air-
port to hospital suffering from a sore throat and thus was not rescued in the daring Israeli raid of July 1976. She was never seen again. Amin’s Administration denied that she was in Uganda. Mr Janner did not indicate the amount of the reward but said it was made by the family “in the name of their murdered mother and of all those other innocents who were slaughtered by Amin or on his orders.” He said the family hoped to visit Uganda to recover their mother’s body.
