Disturbing implications on the pro-Gaza protests in universities. The Palestinian who ‘infiltrated’ the anti-Israel protests – which later degenerated into violent clashes – at La Sapienza University had not been ‘only’ arrested for the attempted murder of a manager of the Arab Emirates embassy and for the death of an Iranian girl. In fact, in 1986 there was also an arrest warrant against him for the formation and organization of an armed gang “at the conclusion of the investigations relating to the attack on 27 December 1985 at Fiumicino airport”. This was reported by Andkronos which cites the papers of the Italian judiciary’s investigation into Palestinian terrorism which concern the Abu Nidal faction which acted, according to the judges, under the acronyms ‘Black September’, ‘Arab Revolutionary Brigades’, ‘Black Lebanon’ ‘, ‘Revolutionary Organization of Muslim Socialists’, ‘Arab Revolutionary Cells’ and ‘Urban Guerrilla Cells’.

In the attack on the Roman airport, carried out by Abu Nidal’s group at the same time as the one in Vienna, 13 people died and 76 were injured. Othman Jihad Mohamd Issa Mahmood Abid El Hali, this is the name of the “infiltrator”, invited by the Sapienza collectives to talk about the war in Gaza on 16 April, he was identified by the Digos and Forensics police (together with five historical exponents of Roman anarchy) engaged in investigations to reconstruct the responsibilities of the scuffles that first broke out under the Rectorate then in front of the San Lorenzo police station. And it was on that occasion that it emerged that the 62-year-old, now also involved in anti-racist campaigns and representative of the Palestinian Arab Democratic Union, was arrested on 26 October 1984 for the attempted murder of the second secretary of the United Arab Emirates Embassy Mohamed Al Suweidi and the murder of the Iranian girl who was with him, Noushine Montasseri.

Two years later – as Adnkronos discovered – his name ended up in the papers in the Italian judiciary’s investigation into Palestinian terrorism. With him, 13 other members of Abu Nidal’s faction were sent arrest warrants, held responsible for terrorist acts in Italy and other European countries. The list also includes one of the Fiumicino attackers, arrested on the same day as the airport massacre, and a Jordanian “implicated – according to what we read in the document – in the attack on the Synagogue in Rome on 9 October 1982” which cost the life of a 2 year old boy, Stefano Gay Tachè.
