Dalal Mughrabi’s sister: Arafat and Abu Jihad had radio contact with Mughrabi during her terror attack
Interview with Rashida Mughrabi, Dalal Mughrabi’s sister:
"Brother Abu Jihad Al-Wazir was in the central control room together with brother Yasser Arafat, brother Abu Tayib of [Force] 17 (elite Fatah unit eventually incorporated into the PA Presidential Guard) and [Force 17 founder Ali] Hassan Salameh. They were present in the control room and followed the operation. Brother Abu Jihad maintained contact with the unit from inside the control room by means of a cordless walkie-talkie."
Notes: Dalal Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Highway, killing 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70. Palestinians often refer to the attack as the “Kamal Adwan operation.”
Abu Jihad (Khalil Al-Wazir) was a founder of Fatah and deputy to Yasser Arafat. He headed the PLO terror organization's military wing and planned many deadly Fatah terror attacks killing 125 Israelis. This included the most lethal in Israeli history, the hijacking of a bus and killing of 37 civilians, 12 of them children.
Ali Hassan Salameh – Commander of operations of the Black September terror group. He planned many terror attacks, including the attack on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics in 1972, in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered.
