Titolo: Il pericoloso terrorista fuggitivo Abbas...

E' entrato nei territori Palestinesi, attraverso le frontiere
militari Israeliane, legalmente e col permesso di Netanyahu, nel
1998.
Con tanto del dipartimento di giustizia USA che diceva che nel 1998
non avevano ragioni di chiedere l'estradizione.
E ora la sua cattura e' l'evento antiterroristico del secolo.
Che pagliacci!

Abbas: Klinghoffer Created Troubles so we Killed Him 
Charles M. Sennott - Boston Globe staff
The Boston Globe, June 26, 1998 
Gaza City 
Mohammed "Abul" Abbas - the most wanted man in the world 13 years ago
after masterminding the Achille Lauro hijacking ... now ... holds
court in the offices of the Palestine Liberation Front, the  small
organization he leads here with the permission of Yasser Arafat. 
... Abbas now says the Achille Lauro was a "mistake." He says his men
had only intended to use the Italian luxury liner to slip into Israel,
not commandeer it. But, he adds, their cover was blown when a crew
member saw them cleaning their weapons. 
When asked why Klinghoffer was killed, he replies: "He created
troubles. He was handicapped but he was inciting and provoking the
other passengers. So the decision was made to kill him." 
... Despite his 30 years... bent on destroying the state of Israel,
Abbas was permitted by the government of Prime Minister  Benjamin
Netanyahu to return from exile to the Palestinian-controlled area this
spring. 
And the United State has dropped its efforts to extradite Abbas for
his role in the murder of Klinghoffer. 
How Abbas was allowed to enter Israel's borders, without objections
from the United States, offers a glimpse into the wrenching
compromises required to make peace in the Middle East. His high
profile in Gaza has infuriated the Klinghoffer family and prompted a
petition to Israel's high court for his extradition. Some critics feel
it renders hollow Netanyahu's podium-pounding tirades against
terrorists. 
... He says he was 13 days old in 1948 when his family fled Haifa for
a refugee camp in Lebanon. When the Palestine Liberation Organization
launched its armed struggle in 1964, Abbas became one of its youngest
recruits. In 1968, he was in Vietnam fighting alongside the Viet Cong
against US forces and learning guerrilla tactics. 
By 1970, he was putting those skills to work. He planned an attack -
the first of its kind - firing a Katyusha rocket into Israel from
Lebanon. It struck a school bus and killed 11 children. 
... Despite angry protests from the United States, Italy allowed him
to flee before a US warrant for piracy and kidnapping could be served.
Abbas disappeared, despite worldwide manhunts and a $250,000 price on
his head. 
... Abbas surfaced for the first time in April 1996. He claimed to
have embraced the peace process and was allowed to enter Israel for a
meeting of the Palestine National Council, where he voted in favor of
revoking those parts of the Palestine Liberation Organization's
charter that called for the destruction of Israel. 
... the Netanyahu administration permitted Abbas to reenter Israel
again last month. Netanyahu's senior adviser, David Bar-Illan, tries
to evade criticism by pointing out that it was the ... government of
Shimon Peres that approved Abbas's initial entry in  1996 for the
Palestine National Council meeting. 
... According to the Oslo accords, any Palestinian whose entry is
approved by Israel will not be prosecuted for crimes committed prior
to the signing of the agreement in 1993. 
"... I'm as puzzled by it as anybody. It's very difficult to
rationalize," concedes Bar-Illan. "But we have to live by it. The
political process sometimes overrides the theory on terrorism. It is
quite difficult, admittedly." 
Ron Tarassian, who leads a right-wing group, Our Jerusalem, fumes that
Abbas is sitting in Gaza. "It's despicable that the Israeli government
let him in," he says. 
Tarassian, Rabbi Avi Weiss, an American right-wing activist, and Dov
Hikind, a New York assemblyman, have petitioned the Israeli High Court
demanding Abbas's arrest and extradition. The court referred the case
to a panel of three judges, a move that indicates the petition is
being taken seriously. 
But efforts to bring Abbas to justice have gone nowhere. Italy has
made no efforts to extradite him, and the US Justice Department claims
it has no grounds to seek his extradition because there is no
outstanding warrant against him. The American warrants were dropped
after his conviction in Italy. 
Last August, the PLO settled a lawsuit with the Klinghoffer family and
the tour operator of the hijacked luxury liner for an undisclosed sum.
Abbas says he would like to go to America to apologize to the family. 
... The Klinghoffer family remains outraged that Abbas is free to live
in Gaza. Jay Fischer, a family lawyer, says: "My clients are deeply
upset. ... Any force of law that can bring him to justice should be
carried out."

Una volta almeno prima di scrivere ti informavi ........
andrea

 non avevano ragioni di chiedere l'estradizione.
Nel 1998 c'era un certo Clinton alla White House.
Negli USA l'azione penale non è obbligatoria da parte dell'accusa.
La richiesta di estradizione è una scelta politica e di norma è legata a
decisioni politiche.
E in quel momento si cercava di fare un accordo di pace e prendersi Abu
Abbas sarebbe stato poco intelligente, in quel contesto.
Poi le cose cambiano.
Mirco

 Nel 1998 c'era un certo Clinton alla White House.
E quindi, se la presenza di Abbas a Baghdad e' una valida prova che
l'Iraq era terrorista, bisogna pure arrestare senza indugio Clinton
e Netanyahu.  :-)
Alternativamente, si puo' togliere i prosciutti dagli occhi e vedere
che gli Americani, le scuse per giustificare la guerra, le stanno cercando
col lumicino.
GT

 e Netanyahu.  :-)
Veramnente gli Israeliani aveano fermato Abbas, ma la Corte Suprema aveva
ritenuto che anche il terrorista Abbas rientrasse nei casi contemplati
dall'accordo del 1995.
Tale accordo prevede la tutela dei palestinesi che entrano nei territori e
nella Striscia di Gaza.
Quindi Abbas non puo' far riferimento a tale accordo a Bagdad.
