Mohhamad Abbas became famous after his organization hijacked the Achille Lauro cruise ship in October 1985. After the hijacking, Abbas was captured and sent to Italy for trial. The United States and Italy fought over jurisdiction in the case, but the Italians refused to extradite any of the men. Inexplicably, Abbas was allowed to go to Yugoslavia.

In 1998, he returned to Gaza to attend the Palestine National Council's vote on abrogating the articles in the PLO charter calling for Israel's destruction.

Abbas ... made his way to Iraq where he was ... a conduit for Saddam Hussein's payments to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. Abbas was captured by U.S. forces in ... Iraq on April 15, 2003
