Damage from an explosion in a Boeing 707 of the Pan Am World
Airways after it was set afire by a three-man Palestinian commando is seen at
Fiumicino International airport in this Dec. 17, 1973, file photo. Terrorists
ran onto the tarmac where the aircraft was preparing for taxi, and threw
incendiary devices into the jetliner, resulting in the deaths of 30 passengers.
Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal responsible for this terrorist act died in
Baghdad, Palestinian officials said Monday, Aug. 19, 2002. The
schoolteacher-turned-terror mastermind, once branded the world’s most dangerous
terrorist by the U.S. State Department, was found with multiple gunshot wounds
that left unclear whether he had been killed by a rival, slain by his Iraqi
patrons or had taken his own life. (AP Photo/File)
