Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country's raid on Uganda's Entebbe airport 40 years ago, in which his brother was killed, "changed the course" of his life and had a lasting influence on his country's relations with Africa. Speaking shortly after his arrival in Uganda on Monday, Netanyahu, right, praised Israel's commando raid on the airport, which freed Israeli hostages from a hijacked plane. "International terrorism suffered a stinging defeat," he said of the mission in July 1976. Netanyahu was joined at the ceremony at the old Entebbe airport by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
