:	By the above definition, the attack was carried out by an
:"ultra-light" which was basically a hang glider with the addittion of a

:attacker's craft was detected as it crossed the border by its engine noise

The noise from the craft was detected by a position in the Norwegian UN
Battalion some 20 minutes before the border crossing. No alarm was raised
there since they assumed it to be a routine fly-over by an Israeli recon-drone.
