Bombing in Iraq Takes Out Palestinian Terrorist

[cerulean]

The Palestinian Leadership Front was the force behind the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking, which ended with the death of a disabled American Jewish man, Leon Klinghoffer, who was cast overboard. It appears the recent attacks in Iraq resulted in the death of one of the PLF terrorists.

Taking out terror of all nationalities.

The vision-challenged opponents of the war against the terror masters, those who have been saying that you can't fight Saddam and terrorism at the same time, got bad news today from Baghdad. It turns out that our surgical strike on Wednesday night — the one aimed at the "top leadership" of Saddam's little hell-between-two-rivers — got an unexpected bonus: a terrorist from the Palestine Liberation Front. And the good news comes not from the Pentagon but from the PLF itself.

According to UPI, the Palestine Liberation Front said Thursday one of its guerrillas was killed during the U.S. missile strikes on Iraq. A PLF statement released in the southern city of Sidon (Syrian-occupied Lebanon) identified the slain guerrilla as 1st Lieutenant Ahmed Walid Raguib al-Baz who was killed early Thursday "while confronting the treacherous U.S. air bombardment on Iraq."

I don't know anything about the late Mr. Al-Baz, but I know all too much about the PLF and its evil leader, Abu Abbas. This was the group that organized the hijacking of the Italian cruise ship, the Achille Lauro back in the mid-1980s. They segregated the American passengers from the rest, and then courageously pushed an American Jewish paraplegic in his wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, into the Mediterranean. We tried to have Abu Abbas arrested in Italy, but he escaped through Yugoslavia to Yemen. . . .

It's clear that many Palestinians feel a strong sympathy to Saddam Hussein. They have been holding demonstrations in support lately. The families of suicide bombers receive checks from the Iraqi (and Saudi governments) -- as shown on this thread, among many others on this forum where this has been discussed.

When the US jets forced that plane down with the terrorists aboard, I remember crying. How terrible that someone would kill an innocent old man who was disabled as well, and get away!

I am equally horrified at the innocent children who are being indoctrinated to join the ranks of the suicide bombers while their families are "reimbursed".

This is my first post here. I've been reading as much as possible but there is so much more for me to read and learn. The "Great Jewish Sites that don't suck" thread is an excellent resource. Even though I am not Jewish, I am very glad to have found Israel Forum.

Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and other Arab/Muslim states are cesspools that harbor Islamic terrorists. It’s going to be a major project cleaning up these states if indeed it can ever be done.
