Ali became a legendary figure who for more than two decades conducted a reign of terror against Israel in both Europe and the Middle East. Once an idealist who volunteered in 1967 to help liberate his homeland, Ali turned into a bloodthirsty killer, code~named "The Red Prince." A trusted lieutenant and potential successor to Yasser Arafat as head of the PLO, Ali was the chief planner for the terrorist organization Black September, which masterminded the 1972 Munich Olympic Games massacre and a wide assortment of other terrorist activities. Ali was married to Miss Lebanon, who went on to become Miss Universe. He also had a special relationship with Bashir Gemayel, the recently assassinated president~elect of Lebanon. The Israeli intelligence organization Mossad tried five times to kill Salameh. While they tracked him down, a bloody duel raged across Europe and the Middle East as the Israelis eliminated his key henchmen and the terrorists retaliated. In this exciting book, based on original research and never~before~published information, Michael Bar~Zohar and Eitan Haber piece together Ali Hassan Salameh's violent background and trace the Israelis' relentless search during the 1970s for one of their most deadly enemies. The search ended in Beirut on January 22, 1979, when Ali Hassan Salameh was assassinated by an Israeli agent posing as an eccentric artist. It was she who set off the explosives that close this story. Ali left three children behind him. His eldest sons have vowed to avenge their father's death.…
