Wadie Haddad

Wadie Haddad (; 1927 – 28 March 1978), also known as Abu Hani, was a Palestinian militant. He led the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. He organized several hijackings of international civilian passenger aircraft in the 1960s and 1970s, the most infamous of which was the Entebbe hijacking, when Palestinian and German militants under his command held 106 hostages — primarily Israeli Jews, although four non-Israeli Jews were also retained for unclear reasons — on a flight from Israel to France after diverting it to Uganda.
