THE WORLD | IN BRIEF / ISRAEL
The
Mossad secret service agency killed a Palestinian wanted for airplane
hijackings by feeding him poisoned Belgian chocolate over six months in
the late 1970s, said the author of a new book, "Striking Back."
In the book, Jerusalem's Time magazine correspondent Aaron Klein describes how Israel tracked down Wadia Haddad, of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in Baghdad. Klein said the 309-pound Haddad was cautious of his every move, but had a weakness: chocolate.
