via Lebanese Forces Official Website Hizbullah’s Mohammad Ali Hamadeh Killed
in U.S. Attack in
Pakistan<http://www.lebanese-forces.org/world/Hizbullah-s-Mohammad-Ali-Hamadeh-Killed-in-U-S-Attack-in-Pakistan1004186.shtml>
.

Lebanese citizen Mohammad Ali Hamadeh has been killed in Saturday’s U.S.
drone attack on al-Qaida hideout in Pakistan’s North Waziristan, the German
news agency DPA reported.

Citing intelligence sources in Pakistan, DPA said Hamadeh, a Hizbullah
member, was killed along with a group of followers.

DPA has it that Hamadeh returned to Lebanon in December 2005 after
being *secretly
released in Germany, where he was serving a life sentence for the 1985
hijacking of a TWA jetliner and killing of a U.S. navy diver*.

It had said Hamadeh had been released from a German prison in 2005 on bail
after spending nearly 19 years in prison.

DPA, citing intelligence information, said Hamadeh fought along Hizbullah
before moving to North Waziristan where he joined “Islamic Jihad” which has
links to al-Qaida.

A U.S. drone attack on Saturday destroyed an al-Qaida hideout in North
Waziristan, killing 11 militants in the tribal redoubt on the Afghan border,
security officials said.

…on June 14,1985 two armed hijackers commandered TWA flight 847 in a 17 day
seige. The Boeing 727 aircraft was originally destined to departure from
Athens to Rome on this day,when the two weilding grenades and guns forced
the pilot in making a avert change of course towards Beruit. I remember the
incident as if was yesterday,because I had graduated from junior high that
very day. *[image:

Accordingly to witnesses aboard flight 847,the ordeal began within 20
minutes into the flight. There were 153 passengers aboard, including the two
who identified themselves as members of Hezbollah. The aircraft was to be
flown to Beruit at first. The hijackers became suspicious that there
military personel on board. Passports from everyone was taken from everyone
for identification. In the story from airline purser Uli Derickson,she
helped collected all passports with other crew members. When she got to one
passenger, Robert Stethem a U.S. Navy seabee diver,it was pretended that Uli
collected his identification(a military card) for his own safety.

When Stethem’s I.D. was not collected,one of the hijackers demanded to know
why it wasn’t given. Soon afterwards the I.D. was finally submitted. When
the Boeing 727 was near its destination,there was a refusal by Beruit
International Tower from allowing it to land. The gunmen then grabbed
Stethem and another military officer(Clinton Suggs) out of their seats and
pushed and shoved them towards the cockpit door. Both men were bounded with
rope. One of the gunmen pulled off a armrest off one of the chairs and began
to lower it on Sugg’s head beating him,then on Stethem. When Uli Derickson
pleaded the savage to stop”Good. American pig must suffer!” the hate spilled
out from his mouth. When the aircraft was permitted to land,the beatings
stopped.

Benjamin Zimmerman,the flight engineer,testified in *Mohammed Hummadi*’s
trial of the beatings of both servicemen. “We could hear the groans and
moans and the screams and the panting and the uneven breathing. And we knew
these guys were getting beat up pretty badly…”
