US "assassinated" Abu Abbas: PLF official
2004-03-10
The Palestinian Liberation Front accused the United States today of the "assassination" of its leader Abu Abbas, who the Pentagon said had died of natural causes in US custody.
Dire Revenge in 5..4..3..
"We hold the US administration responsible for the assassination of Abu Abbas, the Arab Palestinian national leader," Nazem Yussef, PLF politburo member and representative in Lebanon, told AFP.
Nazem, you seem to be confused. When we send a B2 in to pick off, oh, say, Yasser, in his compound, that’s a assassination. When a prisoner we’re holding happens to stop wasting oxygen, that’s called an execution.
"They had stopped giving him medicines for 10 days at the detention center in Iraq, and he had been suffering from heart problems and blood pressure," Yussef said.
I think the meds worked just fine, his blood pressure is much lower now.

#9  it would've been nice if we did indeed assassinate this bastard but it probably is not true. anyone one who would order or carryout the murder of person in a wheelchair needs to be strung up! i don't care what religous creed you are....

#8  The concept of death by natural cause is rather unknown in the palestinian society.

#6  If we did GOOD. If we didn't we should have. We should next 'capture' Arafart and make him die of 'natural causes'. Isn't it natural to die when you are hung?

#5  Don't look at it like he's dead. Think positive like, "He's on eternal tunnel digging shift" or, "Abbas is just apoligizing to his victims personaly".

#4  I'll admit it: the U.S. "assassinated" Abbas in retaliation for the deaths of those three Americans that were attacked in Gaza whose killers have not yet been caught and punished. And more killings of Palestinian terrorists at American hands are on the way.
