Palestinian Authority Demands U.S. Free Abu Abbas
Apparently, not everyone is applauded the apprehension of Abu Abbas, the mastermind of the 1985 Achille Lauro hijacking.
GAZA (Reuters) - The Palestinian Authority demanded the release of veteran Palestinian guerrilla leader Abu Abbas on Wednesday, saying his detention in Iraq by U.S. forces violated an interim Middle East peace deal.
"We demand the United States release Abu Abbas. It has no right to imprison him," Palestinian cabinet minister Saeb Erekat told Reuters.
Hey, all he did was kill a defenseless, wheelchair-bound American Jew, right?? Abbas should be praying to whatever passes for his God that his fate will a better one than what he sentenced Leon Klinghoffer to. We have every right to detain Abbas, and if he is smart, he should be terrified.
