Terrorist Abu Nidal Buried in Baghdad
Abu Nidal, the once-feared terrorist mastermind who died in Baghdad last month under mysterious circumstances, was given a quiet burial in the Iraqi capital, his organization said.
Iraqi intelligence handed over Abu Nidal’s body Thursday to one of his relatives in Baghdad, the Fatah Revolutionary Council group said in a statement.
Abu Nidal, 65, was buried the same day “in the presence of a handful of his family members, and the participation of an Iraqi intelligence officer to make sure he was buried,” the group said.
