A TWA airliner explodes over the Aegean Sea on October 8, 1974, killing eighty-eight.
Abu Nidal's group is suspected of involvement.
Many of Abu Nidal's targets are fellow Palestinians whose political views are at odds with his own, and at a 1974 tribunal the PLO condemns Abu Nidal as an extremist, sentencing him to death in absentia.
