This is the Legacy of Abu Abbas.
This is the legacy of Abu Abbas, the mastermind of the hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship in 1985. During the course of this crime, Leon Klinghoffer, a 69 year old American passenger who was confined to a wheelchair, was shot and thrown overboard in his wheelchair. All this was done in front of his wife.
Abu Abbas was arrested in Baghdad and is now in American custody. I cannot imagine punishment that would be too severe.
