[0:03] These young Americans
[0:05] sent a message to terrorists everywhere.
[0:08] A message you can run but you can't
[0:11] hide. I almost felt like standing up and
[0:14] cheering for President Reagan. He's done
[0:16] something.
[0:18] A plane today on the ground of a NATO
[0:20] base in Italy, symbol finally of US
[0:23] can-do, will-do. Symbol of poetic
[0:26] justice. Hijackers intercepted by US
[0:29] jets and forced to land here so they
[0:31] will finally face the justice of a jury.
[0:34] Good evening. This is the CBS Evening
[0:36] News, Dan Rather reporting. What a
[0:37] difference a day makes. An amazing,
[0:39] daring US intercept of the plane bearing
[0:42] four men accused of hijacking the
[0:44] Achille Lauro. Tonight, instead of safe
[0:47] passage from Egypt and out of range of
[0:49] justice, they are in Italy and charged
[0:52] with murder, hijack and other charges,
[0:54] courtesy US Navy jet pilots. Whatever an
[0:57] Italian jury may decide, the United
[0:59] States still wants them tried here,
[1:01] separately. Another surprise development
[1:03] today, President Reagan announced that
[1:05] he has had more skin cancer cells
[1:08] removed from his face but says he is
[1:10] fine. More about that later. Leslie
[1:12] Stahl at the White House and Richard
[1:13] Roth in Rome begin our coverage of the
[1:15] day the US took terror, captured it and
[1:18] cut it down to size.
[1:21] At the White House, aides called it
[1:23] hitting the jackpot in Sicily, the best
[1:25] two days the President has had in a long
[1:27] time. Mr. Reagan spoke about the
[1:29] soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines
[1:32] who were deployed.
[1:34] These young Americans
[1:35] sent a message to terrorists everywhere.
