Description: (Palestinian Military Leader and Founder of 'The Abu Nidal Organization')
Abu Nidal, also known as Sabri Khalil al-Banna, was a Palestinian militant who founded the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO) after splitting from Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction in 1974. The ANO, known for its ruthless operations, orchestrated attacks in 20 countries, resulting in over 300 deaths and 650 injuries. Notably, the ANO carried out infamous attacks such as the ones at the Rome and Vienna airports in 1985. Abu Nidal's death in 2002 under mysterious circumstances prompted speculation about his connections to various intelligence agencies.
