Achille Lauro hijacker apologizes

Thomas,

"Wrong. Abbas was not even aboard the Achille Lauro."

As you will note in the article. He was responsible. I don't give a rats a$$ if he pulled the trigger or not. Others did so on his behest. It's called aiding and abetting a murder.

May I suggest that your side of the issue would be better served if you and Raymond would stop posting altogether.

Achille Lauro hijacker apologizes
April 22, 1996

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (CNN) -- Abu Abbas, leader of the Palestinian guerrillas who hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985, says he's sorry for the hijacking and the killing of disabled American passenger Leon Klinghoffer.

Klinghoffer, of New York, was shot in his wheelchair and thrown overboard by Abbas' men.

"We are sorry," said Abbas, who arrived in the Gaza Strip late Sunday after years in exile. Abbas says the hijacking was a mistake and admits that he and the guerrillas were on their way to Israel to wage terrorist attacks.

But Abbas said Monday it is time to pursue peace with Israel. He and several other guerrilla leaders have returned from exile to participate in a session of the Palestine National Council, the Palestinians' parliament-in-exile.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Accessories to crimes are just as guilty as the ones pulling the trigger. Didn't you know that? You must have led a sheltered life.
