Ali Hassan Salameh (1943 – January 22, 1979) (Arabic: علي حسن سلامة) was the chief of operations — code name Abu Hassan - for Black September, the terrorist organisation responsible for the Munich Massacre (1972) and other attacks; he was also the founder of Force 17.
Salameh was born in the Palestinian town of Qula to a wealthy family.
According to several sources, Salameh served as a secret contact between the PLO and the CIA from 1970 until his death, guaranteeing Americans' safety in exchange for financial and political support.

Few terrorists have caused as much damage as Ali Hassan Salameh, a Palestinian and the son of a revolutionary of the same name.
Salameh was the son of a rebel who fought the British and the Israelis until his death in 1948, and a close ally of Arafat, who declared at his funeral that a martyr was being buried.
But Salameh's story is also the story of General Aharon "Arale" Yariv, Golda Meir's choice to run Israel's counterattack, and Zvi Zamir, the head of the Mossad, Israel's intelligence unit.

 Black September   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
Although Hussein was in touch with the United States and Israel and had prepared for confrontation to the extent of dismissing several army officers with PLO sympathies and organizing a special force to deal with the situation, the outcome of the crisis depended on the PLO leader, Yasser Arafat, who seemed unwilling to discipline Palestinians.
Salameh was determined to endear himself to Arafat and became something akin to an adopted son, but Abu Iyad and Mohammed Yusuf Al Najjar were also determined to leave their mark.
Najjar was not after personal glory, but Salameh and Abu Iyad were, and the latter in particular was determined to erase the stigma attached to him by Arafat for reaching an agreement during the fighting in Jordan which proved unacceptable to the PLO and its leader.

Harari was the controlling officer for the mission to assassinate BSO leader Ali Hassan Salameh, the primary architect of the Munich massacre, and the Mossad's number one target.
In late 1973, Avner's team learned of the Salameh incident in Lillehammer and realized for the first time that Harari was using other teams to target the same PLO terrorists as his list.

 washingtonpost.com: Penetrating Terrorist Networks
But the relationship evolved and expanded over the years, and Salameh came to be regarded within the CIA as a witting "asset" -- uncontrolled and unpaid but immensely valuable.
Part of what motivated Salameh to work with the CIA was the belief that America could help the PLO win its political goals.
Hauntingly, both men were eventually killed by car bombs -- Salameh by an Israeli hit team in 1979; Ames by the Iranian-backed terrorists who destroyed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, on a day he happened to be visiting from Washington.

 The State Makes an Omelet
The Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, had shot Bouchikhi dead in the mistaken belief that he was Ali Hassan Salameh, the mastermind behind the murder of eleven Israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympic games.
As for the pregnant woman whose husband the Mossad had mistakenly murdered six years earlier, the Israeli government finally decided in 1996 to pay her an undisclosed sum as compensation, but refused to admit formal responsibility for the crime.
There is a case to be made that Israel acted responsibly in its campaign to assassinate Salameh and his Black September colleagues.

When Mossad intelligence verified Salameh's location in Lillehammer, Harari assembled an improvised team to respond immediately, but this operation ended in disaster: the mission resulted in the killing of the wrong person and the arrest of six Israeli officers.
Salameh was a primary "hard" target and the Mossad was eager to act on the intelligence.
The movements of the assumed Salameh did not appear to fit the scenario; his stops at the municipal swimming pool, his association with the pregnant female, and the stop at the movie theater.

This was the killing in Norway of a hapless and harmless Moroccan waiter, mistaken for alleged Black September boss Ali Hassan Salameh.
Salameh himself is shown in Spielberg's Munich as the Israelis' most wanted target.
But part of that was, at least ostensibly, his seeking American aid for PLO moderates against extremists: which hardly fits the profile of him as prince of the bombers.

But Abu Hassan remained a deadly enemy of Israel, and he was finally killed by an Israeli car bomb in 1979.
Arafat was devastated by the loss of a man who had become his closest aide, yet he allowed the intelligence liaison to continue with a string of Abu Hassan's successors, in Beirut, Tunis and Ramallah.

 Conspiracy Theory
Force 17's leader was the charismatic “Red Prince of Terror,” Ali Hassan Salameh, the operations boss of Black September, Arafat's version of Murder, Inc. Black September perpetrated the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre that ended with the deaths of 11 Israeli athletes.
He was killed on January 29, when a covert Mossad team led by a woman using the alias Mary Erika Chambers detonated a Volkswagen packed with 100 kilograms of explosives as Salameh's motorcade turned out of Beirut's Rue Verdun onto Rue Madam Curie.
After Salameh's death and especially after the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon to dislodge the PLO's state-within-a-state, many of the Shia who'd been a part of Force 17 were actively recruited by Iranian agents who had been active in Lebanon since the mid-1970s.
