The former senior Israeli officer was supposed to be detained as he arrived in London for a speaking engagement, after a British court had ordered his arrest. But detectives looked on as he landed, then hid on the plane for two hours, before flying off to avoid arrest.

LOL...Are you kidding me? Since when is an entire police force AFRAID of arresting someone because of "the possibilty of an armed confrontation". The guy is wanted for war crimes! Bring the necessary force, grow a spine, and bring his arse to justice! Ridiculous. This sounds to me like he was deliberately let off the hook...
