Abu Nidal and Abu'l Abbas

World's most prolific terrorist


Biography:


The Abu Nidal Organization had operated for over 30 years, and was responsible for over 900 deaths. Targets included hijackings, bombings, and assassination of troublesome Palestinian leaders.

Abu Nidal AKA Sabri al-Banna, was was born in 1937, and there are various versions of his history.

One version has his family losing everything, in 1948, to the Jews, and he drifted from refugee camp to camp. He finally wound up in Saudi Arabia, where he started his terror organization, - Black September.

Another version has him as a son of an Arab mother and a Jewish father. He was outcast by his 1/2 brothers, and sisters, and was educated in Israel, and then Cairo.

He worked out of Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Lebanon. He died in August of 2002.



"The 'Abu the Terrorist' was really Mossad"

Author Patrick Seale wrote:

Abu Nidal was undoubtedly a Mossad agent. Practically every job he did benefited Israel.


Confirming Seale's theory are top Middle East terrorism experts, including intelligence officers in Arab countries, and even within Abu Nidal's own organization.

All the European and Mid-East terror experts agree that Nidal was Mossad.

He was a protégé of Menacham Begins ... ran free for 30 yrs ...used to kill unwanted Palestinians
Seale pointed out the senseless and extremely brutal attacks only benefited Israel. Nidal had two thrusts:
He killed Palestinians that were a threat to Israel, and hijacked American and European jets.


Seale's hypothesis is based on four main points:

1. Abu Nidal killings have damaged the Palestinian cause to Israel's advantage.

2. Only 10% of the victims were Jewish, the other 90% were bystanders.

3. The lack of attacks on Israel.

4. Lack of involvement in the Intifada, and Israel's failure to retaliate against Abu Nidal's groups.


1970 Jordan

"Black September" hijacked four aircraft to Dawson's Field, a former RAF base in Zarga, Jordan, where they were destroyed.

Another aircraft, a Pan Am Boeing 747-100, was hijacked by two Palestinians and landed in Beirut for re-fueling. The hijackers then realized the 747 is too big to land on the short runway. Therefore, the aircraft was re-routed to Cairo, where it was destroyed.


The 1972 Munich Olympic massacre

Abu's organization, Black September, invaded the Munich's Olympic village, and took the Israeli Olympics team hostage. There was a standoff, and the Germans agreed to let the Nidal's operatives escape. They go to an airport were they are ambushed, and some of the terrorists were killed as well as 11 Israelis .


Israel has the Mossad assassinate the 11 Arabs connected, but don't touch Abu Nidal.

The odd part --- Abu Nidal killed from 1972 till 2002, and the Mossad never retaliated and killed him?


1976 ... Entebbe

Nidal's organization hijacked an Air France jet, and flew to Benghazi, Libya, where they released everyone but the Jewish passengers. Next they flew to Entebbe, Uganda, where Idi Amin ( an Israeli puppet), decided to help the hijackers.

Israel then pulled a rescue, portraying themselves as elite commandos, and the Arabs as despicable.

There have been three movies and eight books about the Entebbe raid.



1982 Paris

Nidal's group machine-gunned American tourists at Goldenberg's Restaurant in Paris.

Six people died, and 22, were wounded in the attack .

Most of the dead were non-Jewish American tourists


1985 Athens

Nidal's group fired a rocket at an Alia airliner as it took off from Athens airport.



1985 Greece

Egypt Air Flight 648, departing from Athens, was hijacked, and an Egyptian air marshal engages in a high-altitude gun fight. The pilot landed in Malta for additional fuel, and when officials refused fuel, the hijackers start shooting passengers point-blank in the head.

The 30-hour hostage drama ended with Egyptian commandos storming the plane, triggering a bloody grenade and gun battle. Sixty more people died in the raid, including two hijackers.


1985 Egypt

Four members of Nidal's group hijacked a cruise ship, and threw Leon Klinghoffer and his wheelchair into the ocean.

The terrorists surrendered to Hosni Mubarak, and he flew them to safety. Reagan had F-14 Tomcats intercept the airliner, and force it to land in Sicily.

The terrorists were released, and Israel never touched the ring-leader, because he was Mossad.



1985 Rome and Vienna

At the Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome, Nidal's Black September teams machine-guned people at a ticket counter, killing 13 and wounding 75. At the same time, another team in hits Vienna's airport killing three people, and wounding 30.

Austrian police killed one of the gunmen, and captured the others.


1986 Berlin

Mossad inserted two agents into Tripoli, who broadcasted bogus messages about an upcoming bomb plot. The CIA intercepted the broadcast , and listened for weeks, thinking they were Libyans.

Nidal's group planted a bomb in a popular GI hang-out, the La Belle disco. The Mossad killed two US servicement, a Turkish woman, and maimed another 229 people.

Reagan bought into it, and bombed Libya as retaliation.

It took the US government 10 days to retaliate for the attack by bombing Libya - it took 15 years, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, to convict the attackers.


1986 A Sudanese airliner

was shot down by a Strela-7 missile. Nidal was believed to be behind this attack.


1986 Pakistan

Pan Am Fl 73 is hijacked by four armed men with Black September. It had 379 passenger on-board, and was en route from Karachi to JFK airport in New York.

As Pakistani security force tried storming the plane, Nidal's men threw grenades, killing 22, and seriously maiming another 150. The four terrorists were captured.


1986 Rome

Nidal's Black September hit a Boeing 727 (TWA Flight 840), flying from Rome to Athens, with a missile that did not explode. The plane landed ok.


1986 Turkey

Abu Nidal's organization attacked Istanbul's Neve Shalom synagogue, and killed 21 people.

1988 Athens

Posing as day tourists, Nidal's group boarded a Greek cruise ship, the 'City of Poros'. They waited until it went out to sea, then pulled machine guns and grenades from their backpacks, and swept the lounges and deck areas.

Nine passengers died, and 98 were injured.


1988 Scotland

Abu Nidal's 'Black September' planted a thermite bomb in the luggage compartment of a 747, and plane explodes over Lockerbie.

Nidal's lieutenant , Atef Abu Bakr, testified " That ' Black September ' was behind it".

Another Terrorist Mastermind:
Abu'l Abbas


1985 Achille Lauro


The hi-jacking of the Italian cruise ship the Achille Lauro by "Palestinian terrorists" was later reliably reported by former IDF arms dealer Ari Ben-Menashe in his 1992 book, Profits of War: Inside the Secret U.S.-Israeli Arms Network, to have been ordered and funded by Mossad.

Ben-Menashe revealed that Israeli intelligence organizations regularly engaged in "black operations," espionage activity designed to portray Palestinians and others in the worst possible light. "An example," wrote Ben-Menashe, "is the case of the 'Palestinian' attack on the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985. That was, in fact, an Israeli 'black' propaganda operation to show what a deadly, cutthroat bunch the Palestinians were. " According to Ben-Menashe, Israeli spymasters arranged the attack through "Abu'l Abbas, who, to follow such orders was receiving millions from Israeli intelligence officers posing as Sicilian dons. Abbas . . . gathered a team to attack the cruise ship. The team was told to make it bad, to show the world what lay in store for other unsuspecting citizens if Palestinian demands were not met.

As the world knows, the group picked on an elderly American Jewish man in a wheelchair, killed him, and threw his body overboard. They made their point. But for Israel, it was the best kind of anti- Palestinian propaganda." It should be noted that in April 1996, Abbas returned to Gaza and in a show of support for Yasser Arafat apologized for the hi-jacking and the killing of the American Jewish passenger Leon Klinghoffer without mentioning him by name, saying, "The hi-jacking was a mistake, and there were no orders to kill civilians." Abbas made no mention of Mossad involvement in the hi-jacking according to the April 23, 1996 Associated Press report.

Oddly the Mossad let Abbas live


Inexplicably, Abbas was allowed to go to Yugoslavia. An Italian court convicted 11 of 15 others associated with the hijacking, while Abbas and another terrorist were tried in absentia and found guilty. Abbas was sentenced to life in prison. Bassam al-Asker, one of the Achille Lauro hijackers, was granted parole in 1991. Ahmad Marrouf al-Assadi, another accomplice, disappeared in 1991 while on parole.

Abbas was never arrested. In 1990, he struck again from the sea, with an abortive speedboat attack on bathers on a beach near Tel Aviv.

Though he was sentenced to five life terms in Italy, and was wanted in the United States, Abbas remained a free man. He spent most of the years after the hijacking in Tunisia before moving to the Gaza Strip in April 1996, after the Palestinian Authority took control of the area as part of the peace agreement with Israel.
