35 years of Palestinian terror

This week marks the 35th anniversary of Palestinian terrorist Sirhan Sirhans assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

Last month was the 30th anniversary of Yasser Arafats order to murder a United States ambassador in an attempt to get Sirhan freed.

In May 1973, Arafats top deputy, Abu Jihad, led a terrorist takeover of the Saudi embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, demanding Sirhans release from federal prison. President Nixon refused to negotiate and Arafat responded by giving the order to kill American Ambassador Cleo Noel, Jr. The terrorists murdered the ambassadors deputy, Charles Curtis Moore, and a Belgian diplomat.

The National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted and recorded a transmission of Arafat giving the order to murder Ambassador Noel. That was in 1973. The U.S. recognizes no statute of limitations on such a crime.

Now that Arafat has outlived whatever diplomatic usefulness he might have had, its time to bring him in.
