IRAQ confirmed the death of feared terrorist leader Abu Nidal Tuesday, saying the Palestinian had committed suicide. “Yes, I confirm his suicide and an official will give you full details on Wednesday,” Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz told reporters. Two senior Palestinian officials Monday said Abu Nidal had been found dead of gunshot wounds three days earlier in his Baghdad house. The Palestinian officials suggested Abu Nidal had committed suicide, but did not explain how he could have shot himself several times. His death raised suspicions that he may have been assassinated by his Iraqi patrons or Palestinian enemies. Abu Nidal had entered Iraq illegally, Aziz told CBS news. Aziz said Iraq had expelled him in 1983 because he was “doing things contrary to the policy of the government of Iraq.” (SD-Agencies)
