Abu Nidal found shot dead...

[SINthysist]

Interestingly enough, in Bahgdad, as in "WE SUPPORT TERRORISM AGAINST THE UNITED STATES AS PART OF OUR ONGOING WAR EFFORT."

For those who do not remember, he's the original Osama Bin Laden...

 

[LovetoGiveRoses]

What more did the article say? Any more background on Abu? What about the circumstances of his death?

 

[SINthysist]

It's at FOX, I believe...

I'll go look!

So, who posted anthrax? CIA or Military?

US government commited mass murder of its civilians in the name of national security.

Would there be justice?

As everything is relative, so is justice.

Everything is the truth and lie.

Before anyone starts, I'll put in here that: Jack Ruby shot JR following an order by Fedel. Fedel was, in turn, controled by Oswald who had been mind-controling el presidente using the skill learnt from reading hypnosis stories on Lit.

Former Terror Leader Abu Nidal Reported Dead
Monday, August 19, 2002

By Paul Wagenseil




JERUSALEM — Abu Nidal, the Palestinian radical whose name was synonymous with terrorism during the 1980s, has been found dead, according to a Palestinian newspaper.

The Al-Ayyam newspaper reported Monday that Abu Nidal, 65, died of gunshot wounds last week after being found shot in his Baghdad home. It was not clear whether his death was a result of murder or suicide.

An anonymous Palestinian official would only say Abu Nidal died under "mysterious conditions." Other Palestinian sources confirmed his death.

Yossi Melman, a well-known Israeli pundit, told Israel army radio that Abu Nidal had been suffering from leukemia for a number of years.

"In the 1970s and 1980s, Abu Nidal was considered something of a Bin Laden," Melman said.

Abu Nidal -- "Father of the Struggle" -- was the United States' most wanted man during the 1980s as speculation ran high that he was planning a chemical or nuclear attack on American soil.

Col. Oliver North, in testimony before a Congressional panel investigating the Reagan-era Iran-Contra affair, justified using Federal money to install a security system at his Washington-area home by explaining that Abu Nidal's organization had targeted him and his family.

Abu Nidal's group carried terror attacks in 20 countries over two decades, killing upwards of 900 people. But despite American and Israeli fears, the Abu Nidal organization primarily targeted other Arabs, specifically PLO and Jordanian officials it considered too soft on Israel.

Born Sabri al-Bana in Jaffa to wealthy parents during the British Mandate, the future Abu Nidal fled to the Gaza Strip, and later the West Bank, with his family as the state of Israel was born in 1948.

At the age of 20 he joined Yasser Arafat's Fatah group, which in 1967 seized control of the Palestine Liberation Organization from the Arab states that had just lost the Six-Day War.

Abu Nidal was with the PLO during its most active and tumultuous period, as the guerrilla organization tried and failed to take over the Jordanian state in 1970, then launched a wave of airline hijackings, assassinations and hostage-takings across the Middle East and Europe, including the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre.

Following the 1973 Yom Kippur War, another disaster for the Arab states, Arafat attempted some conciliation with Israel, and more importantly, with the PLO's arch-enemy, King Hussein's Jordan, which had stayed out of the recent fighting.

Enraged at Arafat's moderation, Abu Nidal led a breakaway faction out of the PLO in 1974, calling his new organization Fatah-Revolutionary Council and receiving support from the Ba'ath radicals ruling Iraq.

Abu Nidal was sentenced to death in absentia by a Fatah military court in late 1974, as his group began assassinating PLO representatives across Europe.

It later blew up a PLO office in Islamabad, Pakistan, killing four people, and also assassinated a Jordanian diplomat in Turkey and British diplomats in Greece and India and fired a rocket at a Jordanian jetliner taking off from the Athens airport.

Abu Nidal's group was tossed out of Baghdad in 1983 as Saddam Hussein moved closer to the U.S. during his war with Iran. He relocated to Syria, Iraq's enemy and Iran's ally, from which he attacked the Rome and Vienna airports and hijacked a Pan Am plane in Pakistan.

In 1986, Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad's attempts at moderation forced the Abu Nidal organization to move again, this time to Libya. Twelve years later, as Moammar Gadhafi sought to make peace with the West, Abu Nidal returned to Baghdad and the protection of the now-friendless Saddam Hussein.

The Abu Nidal organization's attempted killing of the Israeli ambassador to London in 1982 gave then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin a pretext to send Gen. Ariel Sharon's tanks into Lebanon to root out Palestinian guerrilla groups.

Abu Nidal must have appreciated the irony when, as a result of his actions, Sharon besieged Beirut and Arafat and the PLO leadership were forced to move again, this time to far-off Tunisia.

It's Fidel, dumbass.

Not to mention that's not who shot JR.

 

[Guest]

Yes. Good old Abu. I know his work well. Carlos the Jackal didn't like him anyway.

 

[SINthysist]

Well I suppose one would probably point their finger at the Mossad. Er, right p_p_?

 

[LovetoGiveRoses]

Thanks. It will be interesting so see that the autopsy shows, though we probably won't get to see the results (out of Bagdad).

 

[SINthysist]

My wild guess would rule out suicide...

In 1980 he was shot by sister-in-law Kristen Shepard - the second time as he had previously been shot during a hunting trip. The third time he was shot was by Edgar Randolph in 1984 then in 1987 by BD Calhoun.

In the final episode a drunk JR was seen with a gun and shots were heard, but viewers were left without actually knowing if he shot himself. There is no twist of the plot which could be said to support the notion it was Jack Ruby or any of his minions.

In real life, I have not watched a single episode of Dallas nor Dynasty. I'm a freak, aren't I.

Finally, a GOOD terrorist!

Dead of suicide resulting from multiple gunshot wounds! Now there's a man with some serious determination on a true mission.

It's actually somebody with some serious aiming problems.

That's one busy guy. But dammit, we all know what happened in the last one- He shot himself in the liver.

 

[SINthysist]

LOL UncleBill!

That point had escaped me...

 

[SleepingWarrior]

10 to one odds are that he was shot from the back. So add having some good flexiblity to the serious determination.

 

[LovetoGiveRoses]

Very good point. Maybe he was persistent. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
