Involvement in Killing of U.S. Diplomats
(December 2006)
After
33 years of secrecy, the U.S. State Department
declassified a document
[pdf format] admitting
it knew Yasser
Arafat, chairman
of the Palestine
Liberation Organization,
plotted and supervised the murders of
two U.S. diplomats in Sudan in 1973.
The document makes it clear the Khartoum
operation “was planned and carried
out with the full knowledge and personal
approval” of Arafat. In
the attack on March 1, 1973, eight members
of the Black September terrorist organization,
part of Arafat's Fatah faction of the
PLO, stormed the Saudi embassy in Khartoum
on Arafat's orders, taking U.S. Ambassador
Cleo Noel, diplomat Charge d'Affaires
George Curtis Moore and others hostage.
The following day, the terrorists killed
Noel, Moore and Belgian diplomat Guy
Eid.
