ARAFAT'S DEPUTY WHO DESERVED TO DIE

It's been revealed that Khalil al-Wazir, the deputy of Yasser Arafat who was killed in 1988 was taken down by Israeli secret service:
Lifting a nearly 25-year veil of secrecy, Israel is admitting that it killed the deputy of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in a 1988 raid in Tunis.

Israel has long been suspected of assassinating Khalil al-Wazir, who was better known by his nom de guerre Abu Jihad. But only Thursday did the country’s military censor clear the Yediot Ahronot daily to publish the information, including an interview with the commando who killed him.

Dozens of brazen operations have been attributed to Israel over the decades. But Israel rarely takes responsibility. The acknowledgement gives a rare glimpse into the country’s covert operations.

Abu Jihad founded the Palestinian Liberation Organization with Mr. Arafat and was blamed for a series of attacks against Israelis.
Oh, he was equally responsible alright, and it's something for which he deserved to die. I hope the AP Wire comprehends that.
