Terror mastermind Nidal found dead

ABU NIDAL, one of the world’s most wanted terrorists linked to the bombing of the Pan Am jetliner over Lockerbie, was found dead in his Baghdad apartment, officials said yesterday.

His body was found four days ago with gunshot wounds, said two senior Palestinian officials in the West Bank.

They said reports they received from the Iraqi capital suggested the schoolteacher turned ruthless terror leader committed suicide, but did not address the question of how that was possible when there was more than one bullet wound.
