>> the entebbe rescue was one of the few bits of good news we had regarding counterterrorism.was followed a year later by the daring rescue of german passengers that had been aboard a hijacked lufthansa aircraft. >> it was over in minutes. a blinding flash, a deafening explosion and gunfire. >> the passengers and crew were freed in a raid at somalia's mogadishu airport. >> there was a sense that the pendulum was swinging away from terrorist efficacy. in other words, if you hijacked a plane, you didn't necessarily get a free run to the press conference. >> once again, we see terrorism's evolution in the sense that the terrorists themselves often have to change up their tactics if they're going to stay one step ahead of the government. >> west german industrialist hans martin schrier, a key government adviser, was kidnapped in cologne today. >> the terrorists riddled the cars carrying schrier and his police bodyguards with machine gun fire. the bodyguards were killed. >> this is the third terrorist incident in germany in the past six months. all involve death, and all involved t
