Describe the operations of the Abu Nidal Organization in the 1980s

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Abu Nidal Organization (Black June)
Sabri al Banna (whose code name was Abu Nidal) and Yasser Arafat were once comrades in arms in the struggle for Palestine, but as others broke from Arafat, so too did Abu Nidal's rebel organization, called Black June.
• In the end, Abu Nidal and his organization became a mercenary group, not only abandoning Arafat but also completely forsaking the Palestinian cause.
The group's international exploits drew more attention than did those of its rival terrorist organizations as Nidal conducted ruthless operations in the 1980s, including:
• The murder of Jordanian ambassadors in Spain, Italy, and India
• Raids on Jewish schools in Antwerp, Istanbul, and Paris
• Attacks on airports in Rome and Vienna
• Assassinations of PLO leaders in Tunis
• The attempted assassination of the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom
• An attack on a synagogue in Istanbul
The Abu Nidal Organization evolved into an international group operating in more than 20 countries. It faded from significance by the 1990s, and Abu Nidal was murdered in Iraq in 2002.
