Zio-Nazi ordered Mossad to kill Khalil Ibrahim Wazir, raising questions about the alleged assassination of Yasser Arafat
Wazir, also known as Abu Jihad, founded the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah Party with Yasser Arafat and was assassinated in Tunisia in 1988. More than two dozen Israeli commandos attacked his heavily guarded home, “including two agents who approached the house posing as a vacationing couple but carrying guns with silencers,”reports the Los Angeles Times.
The killing was widely believe to have been carried out by Israel, although Israeli leadership refused to confirm or deny the accusations. The international community, including the United States, condemned the illegal assassination.
Wazir “was believed to have been behind numerous strikes against Israelis,” reports the Times, “including a 1978 bus-hijacking attack that killed 38 Israelis, and to have helped organize the 1987 Palestinian uprising known as the first Intifada from his base in Tunisia.”
The admission confirms allegations that Israel’s Mossad service in a lawless para-military group, and in fact raises more questions about whether or not Israel also killed Yasser Arafat, who died in 2004 of mysterious causes.
Many have alleged that Arafat was poisoned, and laid blame on Israel. Arafat’s bodywas recently exhumed in order to run tests for traces of polonium, a chemical known to be used in political assassinations.
Israel fesses up: We killed Arafat deputy in 1988
JERUSALEM (AP) — Lifting a nearly 25-year veil of secrecy, Israel is admitting that it killed the deputy of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in a 1988 raid in Tunis.
Israel has long been suspected of assassinating Khalil al-Wazir, who was better known by his nom de guerre Abu Jihad. But only Thursday did the country’s military censor clear the Yediot Ahronot daily to publish the information, including an interview with the commando who killed him.
Dozens of brazen operations have been attributed to Israel over the decades. But Israel rarely takes responsibility. The acknowledgement gives a rare glimpse into the country’s covert operations.
Abu Jihad founded the Palestinian Liberation Organization with Arafat and was blamed for a series of attacks against Israelis.
