U.S. Killed Terrorist on Wanted List, Pakistani Officials Say
wsj.com ^ | JANUARY 15, 2010 | ZAHID HUSSAIN

Posted on 01/16/2010 1:46:42 PM PST by Berlin_Freeper

A CIA-operated drone strike on a suspected militant hideout last weekend killed one of FBI's most-wanted terrorists who had been involved in 1986 hijacking of an U.S. airline, a senior Pakistani offical said.

Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim, a Jordanian of Palestinian origin who had a bounty of $5 million on his head, was killed in the strike in North Waziristan on Sunday, along with another Jordanian who was identified as Mahmoud Zaydan, the official said.

Mr. Rahim was released from a Pakistani prison a few years ago after a conviction for his role in the Sept. 5, 1986, hijacking of Pan American World Airways Flight 73, in which the hijackers demanded 1,500 prisoners in Cyprus and Israel be released. Twenty people, including two Americans, were killed during the hijacking.

So how much of that goes to the Predator crew?
I’d give ‘em all of it, kind of an incentive.

Kill them all.

I don’t get it- didn’t he have an ACLU jewish lawyer and the right to take the 5th? When was his trial? Why do the libs seem so supportive of summary judgement and execution of these rats in the field, and yet so solicitous of them when we frog march them to GITMO? Why was Holder and Co eady to indict Cheney and CIA managers for discussing plans to assassinate al Qaada leaders?

hmmm.

Some one will pay for this heinous assassination....

Holder will leave no stone unturned to find the Xe (formerly Blackwater) employee (sitting out there in that ship) who committed this atrocity without any attempt to read Constitutional rights to this poor suspect.

Note that this room-temp terrorist was , during the hijacking, a member of the ANO a/k/a ABU NIDAL ORGANIZATION.

Recall that Abu Nidal was being sheltered by Saddam Hussein in Iraq before the US invasion and famously "committed suicide" with five bullets to his head in Baghdad.

Now repeat after me the liberal mantra : "Iraq has no connection to terrorism."

You’re welcome.

It’s a fact — no recidivism of jihadi acts once they’re dead.
