Ali Hassan Salameh
At the dawning and height of the Lebanese civil war in the mid 1970s, she was again drawn into the conflict when she began a romantic relationship with Palestinian PLO militant and intelligence official Ali Hassan Salameh, who was nicknamed "The Red Prince" due to his lavish lifestyle, playboy persona, and bloodlust. (Salameh was allegedly still married to his first wife Um Hassan when their affair began.) The date on which the couple was married is widely disputed. Yasser Arafat was said to disapprove of their pre-marital relationship because it clearly violated the traditional conservative Arab status quo, and he remained hostile to Georgina Rizk due to that.
