Official PA Daily glorifies “skilled” planner of 1972 Munich massacre
Headline: “42 years since the death as a Martyr of ‘the Red Prince’”
“Today, Friday, Jan. 22, [2021,] is the 42nd anniversary of the death as a Martyr of commander Ali Hassan Salameh ‘the Red Prince’ (i.e., former commander of operations of the Black September terror organization), the founder of the forces protecting the PLO leadership [PA Presidential Security] ‘Force 17.’
On Monday, Jan. 22, 1979, the Israeli Mossad (Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) assassinated the Red Prince by blowing up his car in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. Israel’s leaders thought the assassination of Martyr Salameh would get an enemy out of their way who had already thwarted their plans in the past and taken revenge on their collaborators. This was because the skilled commander established the force protecting Martyr leader [former PLO Chairman and PA President] Yasser Arafat, which played an important role in dealing with the Mossad’s operations abroad and within Lebanon.”
