    AFTERMATH

    Trial and sentencing


    On July 6, 1988, five Palestinian men were convicted in
    Pakistan for their roles in the hijacking and murders and
    sentenced to death: Zayd Hassan Abd al-LatifSafarini,
    Wadoud Muhammad Hafiz al-Turki, Jamal Saeed Abdul
    Rahim, Muhammad Abdullah Khalil Hussainar-Rahayyal,
    and Muhammad Ahmed al-Munawar. The sentences were
    later commuted to life in prison.

    According to a CNN report, Safarini was handed over to the


    FBI from a prison in Pakistan in September 2001. He was
    taken to the United States where on May 13, 2005 he was
    sentenced to a 160-year prison term. At the plea proceeding,
    Safarini admitted that he and his fellow hijackers committed
    the offenses as members of the Abu Nidal Organization,
    also called the ANO, a

    designated terrorist organization.
