Abu Abbas, the monster who masterminded the hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985, during which a 69-year-old paraplegic, Leon Klinghoffer, was thrown overboard, has died in U.S. custody.
He was not, strictly speaking, a mujahid; he came out of the older Arab nationalist groups that downplayed religion. These groups, however, were always closely tied to Islam and jihad, and they have made that increasingly clear in recent years.
Here's an obit from CNN, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm.

Posted by: D C Watson at March 10, 2004 10:20 AMThis guy got off easy. He was a coward in life, killing an old man in a wheelchair and running off to Iraq to hide. Typical jihadi, they don't attack people who can fight back.
Posted by: basil at March 10, 2004 10:43 AMSo Basil Brush thinks that this guy is a coward. Tell me Basil Brush whats so cowardice about hijacking a cruise ship. I'm sure you've seen 'The Siege'. Well let me tell you a little secret my Yankee friend. (It wasn't real)....yes im sorry to break it to you but Hollywood isn't real. Whereas this was. So this leads me to believe that this guy is a real life Steven Segal. Depending on which way you look at it ofcourse.
No BASIL not the kids again...
Posted by: Umar at March 10, 2004 11:44 AMBasil and Umar you two show so much hatred towards one another, why dont you just become peaceful, pious, non perverted, non paedophilic, non drunkard, non kiddy fidling, priests. I know it sounds impossible but if you have the will power YOU CAN DO IT BOYS I believe in you! GOOOO YOUUU YANKEEES!!!
Posted by: Marcos786 at March 10, 2004 11:47 AMWell, this swine is dead now.....he was a piece of trash....Umar, your posting and obvious mentality is exactly why even decent, peace loving Muslims are hated, because of stupid ass thugs like you.
Like Reza, you need your skull bashed. It doesn't take courage to hijack anything. It takes a sick mind and a demented agenda. And don't believe for a second that I can't whip your ass. I'm certainly no cripple in a wheel chair, or a middle aged loser.
What an ass you are. You're a disgrace to your Muslim brothers and siters.
Posted by: D C Watson at March 10, 2004 1:02 PMOnly in a society as backward and screwed up as islam would scum like this be considered a hero. Beating up old men in wheelchairs, killing defenseless women and children, taking candy from babies, yep real heroic stuff. No wonder Iraq and Afghanistan fell so fast. Of course these poor deluded fools call Mohammed a prophet when there is no prophecy in the koran. They say "old Mo did a miracle 'cause he wrote the koran and old Mo couldn't write!" They forget that koran means recited or spoken in Arabic. Scribes wrote down what old Mo said. So to these idiots giving dictation constitutes writing a book! LMAO!
Posted by: Hal at March 10, 2004 10:00 PMIt is a good day. While I'm not condoning torture I have alway thought that this swine should have been strapped to a wheelchair and wheeled overboard, that I feel would have been justice in this case
