"Former Israel Defense Forces GOC Southern Command General (res.) Doron Almog flew to the U.K. Sunday but returned before the plane landed due to rumors that a warrant was out for his arrest.

The El Al flight carrying Almog turned around in mid-air and returned to Israel.

The rumors stemmed from a war crimes suit against Almog being filed by a London-based organization representing Palestinians.

In 2002 the Muslim Association of Britain threatened to take legal steps against current Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, who at the time was the IDF Chief of Staff, over his responsibility for injuries to the Palestinian people. Mofaz was staying in England during this period."
