Quote: | TWA Hijacker Released From German Prison
Tuesday, December 20, 2005
BERLIN — Mohammed Ali Hamadi has been paroled from prison after serving 19 years of a life sentence for the 1985 hijacking of a TWA jetliner and for killing a U.S. Navy diver, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.
Hamadi has been released from prison and has left Germany, said Doris Moeller-Scheu, a spokeswoman for the Frankfurt prosecutor's office. She said she didn't know his destination.
She said Hamadi's case came up for a regular legally mandated review by a parole court and he was released after an expert assessment and a hearing.
The flight was hijacked to Beirut, where U.S. Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem, 23, of Waldorf, Md., was shot and his body dumped on the tarmac.
German officials said the case was a matter for state authorities. Justice Ministry spokeswoman Eva Schmierer said Germany did not have any request from the United States for Hamadi's extradition.
A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Martin Jaeger, said there was no connection between his release and that of Susanne Osthoff, a German woman released at the weekend after spending more than three weeks as a hostage in Iraq. |

I remember this hijacking and the wanton murder of Robert Stethem.
This hijacker should have got the death penalty. Now he's free to do more dirty deeds! _________________ “I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.” (Thomas Paine, 1776) |

We can only hope that some enterprising individual in a super secret agency attends to this creep and instructs him in a prejudicial way as to the whys, wherefores and consequences of killing an American anywhere in the world. _________________ Swift Boats - Qui Nhon (12/69-4/70), Cat Lo (4/70-5/70), Vung Tau (5/70-12/71) |

Petty Officer Stethem was singled out to be killed by the terrorists because he was a U.S. serviceman.
The Navy named a warship in his honor.

My thoughts exactly, Buffalo. It be a shame if Ali Hamadi were to "tragically" die after being run over by a truck. |

this is outrageous.
remember what happened,
US jet is hijacked in Greek airspace,
Hamadi later shows up in a Geman courtroom,
and is charged with smuggling explosives into
Germany, and other charges that did not
involve Germany. |

I hope he volunteers for Jihadi duty in Iraq. There are some Marines there that would like to meet him. _________________ 8th Army Korea 68-69 |
