The Evolution Of Terrorism, Abu Nidal

This video was recorded on September 28,2020. By the late 1970's Abu Nidal, founder of the militant Palestinian splinter group Fatah, had conducted numerous terrorist bombing and paramilitary campaigns in the Middle East and Europe. However the one terrorist operation which would be remembered more than any other are the 1985 Vienna and Rome airport attacks. This would become the pretext for conducting more extreme terrorist operations that would not only involve airports terrorist campaigns, or hijacking airliners, but hijacking them for martyrdom operations.

The evolution of terrorism can readily be seen thru-ought the 1980's to 2001, from the Air France 8959 Hijacking, Bojinka Plot to the terrorist attacks of September 111th 2001. With these adaptations, the meanings behind them have steadfastly remained the same, in regarding to our Foreign Policy with Israel and Saudi Arabia.
