"Getting him was difficult but at the end you can add Salameh to the success list."

What happened to him? I loved reading this post! Reminds me of a book I read about some Jews in Europe after WWII that tracked down a BUNCH of nazis and dispatched them, sometimes right on their own front stoop!

They even went so far as to infiltrate the bakers who supplied bread to a particular POW camp, and went to great lengths to insure that they killed ONLY nazis. They poisoned several hundred of them, without killing any innocent people. Wish I remembered the name of the book!

We could learn a lot from Israel, and 9/11 will hopefully demonstrate that we are facing the same scum they've been fighting since WWII. It's our war too, let's roll!

The only other thing I could find online was from Biography.com, about Ehud Barak. Even though I don't agree with his political views of the 1990's, he was one hell of a good commado. From Ehud Barak on Biography.com:

There were several outstanding incidents that built Barak’s formidable reputation. In 1972, Palestinian terrorists hijacked a Sabena airplane at an airport outside Tel Aviv and threatened to blow it up. Barak led a team that stormed the jet, killing two of the hijackers, taking the others captive, and saving all but one of the 99 passengers. His future political rival, Benjamin Netanyahu, served under his command during this mission.

A year later, Barak led one of five teams formed in order to hunt down those involved with an attack by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that killed 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. Barak and another man reportedly dressed as women in order to pose as couples along with two other military colleagues and enter Beirut, Lebanon, where PLO headquarters were located. Barak and his fellow commandos killed three PLO leaders and blew up a building where other Palestinian fighters were housed.

Finally, in 1976, Barak served as the mastermind behind the legendary commando raid that rescued more than 100 Israeli airline passengers held hostage by hijackers at Entebbe, Uganda.

Regardless of his record in the 90s, he had an awesome streak in the 70s !!
