Many of us are old enough to remember all the airplane hijackings, the Munich Olympics, and the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking where Jewish American man in a wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, was murdered by the hijackers and thrown overboard.
Or all the kidnappings. I have two Lebanese friends that were kidnapped by them.
Also, remember the Anglican peace envoy Terry Waite?
I recall that the Accille Lauro spawned a joke about “The Klinghoffer cocktail; two shots and a splash.”
What, too soon after?
I was in the ME at the time...
