In the month of April the assassination of the three leaders Kamal Nasser, Kamal Adwan, and Muhammad Al-Najjar Abu Yusuf (i.e., senior members of the Black September terror organization) also took place in an Israeli commando operation in Verdun (see note below –Ed.) in the heart of the Lebanese capital of Beirut on April 10, 1973.”
