Did the US seek out the services of Abu Nidal?

There is no conclusive evidence that the U.S. formally sought out the services of Abu Nidal, the leader of a Palestinian militant group responsible for numerous attacks. However, during the 1980s, U.S. officials did engage with various Middle Eastern factions, sometimes using them as leverage against other adversaries. Abu Nidal was often viewed as a rogue actor, and while the U.S. may have had interests in monitoring his activities, there is no documented relationship suggesting they sought his services directly.
