The UK Sunday Telegraph claims to have the real reason for Abu Nidal’s death.
“Abu Nidal, the Palestinian terrorist, was murdered on the orders of Saddam Hussein after refusing to train al-Qa'eda fighters based in Iraq”. The source? Reports by Iraqi opposition groups and “a US official who has studied the reports”. The article goes on to inform us, “American intelligence officials revealed that several high-ranking al-Qa'eda members had moved to northern Iraq where they had linked up with Iraqi intelligence officials”.
