GAZA (Reuters) - The Palestinian Authority demanded the release of veteran Palestinian guerrilla leader Abu Abbas on Wednesday, saying his detention in Iraq by U.S. forces violated an interim Middle East peace deal.

"We demand the United States release Abu Abbas. It has no right to imprison him," Palestinian cabinet minister Saeb Erekat told Reuters.

"The Palestinian-Israeli interim agreement signed on September 28, 1995 stated that members of the Palestine Liberation Organization must not be detained or tried for matters they committed before the Oslo peace accord of September 13, 1993," he said.

"This interim agreement was signed on the U.S. side by President Clinton and his secretary of state, Warren Christopher," Erekat added. There was no immediate Israeli comment on Abbas' arrest by U.S. special forces.

Abbas masterminded the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship in the Mediterranean.

The Palestinian Authority? Thats a joke! These guys sponser terrorism. If we give up Abu Abbas, I will be very dissapointed.

I dont believe we should honor any agreement we have with terrorists.

I saw him on the news tonight. He was denouncing his terrorist past. He said he was wrong and he was sorry. I say he was wrong.... And he should pay.... Dearly.

The only people who can prosecute this shmuck is Italy which found him guilty in absentia several years back. The victim was an American but was on a flagged vessel sailing under an Italian flag. Italy has the right to imprison him the same way they would if he killed an American on Italian soil. It was not until recently that American law as a response to international terrorism passed laws which allows for jurisdiction under the circumstances of a terrorist act on foreign soil or under a flagged vessel on international waters. Clinton was a boner but there is no dog in this fight about him. This terrorist will serve time just not in the U.S. like it or not the only thing they can get him on here is if they can show there was a continuing criminal act that allowed for the crime to be prosecuted. This is Expos Facto the crime took place before we had a law which had the elements to fit it.

I must admit to not knowing this specific regarding the inability to prosecute offences prior to 1993 with this agreement. Having stated that, it only adds to my belief that the Clinton administration did tremendous damage to the U.S. in our ability to deal with international affairs. While this s.o.b. can't be tried in an American court for murder since no law was on the books at the time of the crime other offenses such as piracy can be put into play. I hope the Justice department can creatively indict him with as much as we can charge him with. It would be a shame to turn him back over to the Italians who convicted him then allowed him (helped) him to escape.

Actually, they let him leave then they tried him. By this time he moved thought Egypt with the O.K. of the government there and low and behold ended up in Saddam Land. The purpose of the accord was for Israel to say they would not prosecute offenses which occurred prior to 1993. It does not have any pull on countries like Italy.

They ought to put all these b*st*rds together in a room with just enough food for one. Let them fight it out among themselves with the one who survives the promise to live... in one of their hellhole prisons. Complete with the rats, bad food, disease and exercise routines (electric shocks, beatings, etc.)...

I like Rick's idea. Richard Widmark him. Rick, most of the young dudes won't get that reference.

Yes, the senior citizen traveler was Leon Klinghoffer.
He was shot twice and thrown overboard, wheelchair and all. His poor wife had to watch and hold that as her last memory of her beloved husband.

Rick

The Richard Widmark treatment would be great for that creep. From the great film noir "Kiss of Death"!
