Who high jacked the ship Acchille Lauro?

The Achille Lauro was hijacked on October 7, 1985, by a group of Palestinian militants from the Palestine Liberation Front, led by Abu Abbas. The hijackers took control of the Italian cruise ship while it was sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, demanding the release of Palestinian prisoners. The incident garnered international attention, especially after the hijackers killed an elderly American passenger, Leon Klinghoffer. The crisis ended after several days, with the hijackers surrendering in exchange for safe passage.
