Abbas, who has eluded authorities since 1985, was sentenced in absentia to life in prison in Italy for masterminding the hijacking.

Life? I would vote for using him as a pop up target for the USMC.

But there aren't any terrorists in Iraq; how could this be? [sarcasm off]

I guess the Klinghoffer daughters are unfamiliar with Dem reps, or they would know that Abbas and his followers are actually freedom fighters, not terrorists.

His daughters, who live in New York City, said they hoped U.S. prosecutors "revive a federal indictment against Abbas for piracy, hostage-taking and conspiracy."

This came up on another thread this morning. I hate to break this to the daughters, but I don't think the U.S. has any jurisdiction to prosecute this guy.

Perhaps, now he can rest in peace.
