Interview Reveals Details of PLO Co-founder's Assassination
(CNN) Sara Sidner and Kareem Khadder - Israel's censor is for the first time allowing the publication of a 12-year-old interview with a now-dead Israeli agent who claimed he killed Khalil al-Wazir, widely known as Abu Jihad, who helped found the Palestine Liberation Organization. Abu Jihad was killed by gunfire in Tunis in 1988. Yediot Ahronot obtained access to an interview with operative Nahum Lev, who died in 2000, done by reporter Ronen Bergman. Lev said he shot Abu Jihad with no hesitation after reading the file that Israeli intelligence had on him which connected him to horrific acts against civilians.
