From the Wikipedia article
Swissair Flight 330 (SR330/SWR330) was a regularly scheduled passenger flight from Kloten, Switzerland, to Hong Kong (then a British colony) with an intermediate stopover in Tel Aviv, Israel. On 21 February 1970, a bomb exploded soon after takeoff, causing the plane to crash, killing all 47 passengers and crew. No one was ever charged over the attack, but some sources attribute it to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP–GC).
