Prisoners of Zion
In Israel the trial has just begun of 25 alleged terrorists, which is already causing alarm throughout the country. It is the climax of a chain of events that began when two Arab mayors on the occupied West Bank were blown up in their cars in 1980. Next
Palestinian students at a West Bank university were gunned down by masked men. Finally Israeli secret service agents discovered bombs underneath five Jerusalem buses timed to explode at the height of the rush-hour. When the suspects were arrested, they turned out to be respectable devout Jews: the leading defendants even had a personal friend in the cabinet. There had also been plans for the most spectacular operation -to blow up the Dome of the Rock - Islam's most sacred shrine in Jerusalem.
Who are the terrorists - the so-called 'Jewish Underground'? Why did it take Israel's crack Shin Beth - their MI5 - over four years to break the case? Tom Mangold reports. Producer TIM SHAWCROSS Editor PETER IBBOTSON

by Jo Grimond with Keith Kyle
In the 1964 General Election Jo Grimond , as Leader of the Liberal Party, saw the number of Liberal seats increase for the first time since 1929. In the last of three programmes, he talks to Keith Kyle about his hopes at the time for a radical re-alignment of the politics of the Left.
At the age of 53, he quit the leadership of the Party - he reflects on the years that followed; on the crisis brought about by Jeremy Thorpe 's resignation as Leader, on his opposition to David Steel's
Lib/Lab pact which kept the Callaghan Labour Government in power for a further two years.
