Abbas Honors Terrorist Leader -EditorialGeorge Habash who died this week, had "earned a reputation for spectacular international attacks in the 1960s and 1970s, including airline hijackings that killed at least 20 U.S. citizens," [according to] The State Department's annual terrorism report.
PA head Mahmoud Abbas decided to honor the memory of Habash, who rejected the Oslo accords and never disavowed violence or reconciled himself to Israel's existence, by ordering flags in the PA to be flown at half mast for three days.
How is it that Habash, several years into the so-called Global War on Terrorism, died of apparently natural causes at age 82 in Jordan, often considered an American ally in the war? He belonged in prison - or on the gallows.
