What Happened – October 7

 It was on this day in 1985 that the Achille Lauro was hijacked by four terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Front. They held everyone aboard the Italian cruise ship as hostages, and demanded that Israel release 50 prisoners. One passenger, an elderly man in a wheelchair, was killed. Israel refused to negotiate, and a few days later the terrorists agreed to give the ship up in exchange for safe passage. They were put aboard an Egyptian plane in order to be flown to Libya but US fighter jets intercepted the commercial airplane and forced it to land in Italy, where a SEAL team was waiting to take them into custody. Italy objected to this action by the US, and their troops encircled the SEAL team at the NATO airbase. After a tense 5-hour standoff, the terrorists were arrested by Italian forces. The planner of the operation, Abu Abbas, was caught by US Special Forces in 2003 during the invasion of Iraq and died the following year while in the custody of the CIA.
