Achille Lauro hijacking : ウィキペディア英語版 | Achille Lauro hijacking
On October 7, 1985, four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) hijacked the Italian MS ''Achille Lauro'' liner off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The hijacking was masterminded by Muhammad Zaidan, leader of the PLF. One 69-year-old Jewish American man in a wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, was murdered by the hijackers and thrown overboard. ==Background== Throughout the 1980s, the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) and other members of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) launched attacks on both civilian and military targets in the north of Israel, across the Lebanese border. In response to one such attack by the PLO's Force 17 on an Israeli yacht, the PLO headquarters in Tunis were bombed by the Israeli Air Force (Operation Wooden Leg) on October 1, 1985. The headquarters were completely destroyed in this attack, and sixty PLO members were killed. The hijacking of ''Achille Lauro'' was thought to have been an act of retaliation for the bombing. However, this claim was refuted in 2013 by Reem al-Nimer, widow of the PLF leader Muhammad Zaidan. According to al-Nimer, the hijacking had been planned 11 months in advance, and the hijackers already been on two 'dummy' training runs on ''Achille Lauro''. The plan was to open fire on Israeli soldiers when the ship reached Ashdod – a suicide mission.〔Fisk, Robert (5 May 2013). ("How Achille Lauro hijackers were seduced by high life" ).
