One of the hijackers of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro has been released, after serving more than two decades in an Italian jail. Ibrahim Fatayer Abdelatif was one of a group of Palestinian militants who hijacked the ship in 1985. Authorities have ordered Ibrahim to leave Italy, though his lawyer says that he has nowhere to go. Although Ibrahim has officially been expelled from Italy, he cannot leave until he finds another country that will accept him. Ibrahim was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, though is not a citizen of Lebanon. Of the three other involved in the ship’s hijacking, one disappeared in 1994 while on parole, one died in 2004, and the third – Youssef Al-molqi is still serving part of his 30-year sentence.
