Israeli Censors Release Account of Arafat Deputy's Killing

Abu Jihad helped found Palestine Liberation Organization, and was killed in 1988

Israel's military censor has cleared for publication an interview with a commando who killed the deputy of former Palestinian chief Yasser Arafat.

It has been widely believed that Abu Jihad was killed by Israeli agents in Tunis in 1988 but Israel has never officially acknowledged it.

However, the censor has allowed Yediot Ahronot newspaper to publish the interview with Nahum Lev.
