Short biography
On June 14, 1985, Hamadi and an accomplice (allegedly the Lebanese Hassan Izzaldine ) hijacked an airplane of the US airline TWA with 145 passengers and eight crew members on flight 847 from Athens ( Greece ) to Rome ( Italy ). During the hostage-taking, the US hostage Robert Dean Stethem was murdered on June 15 at Beirut Airport in Lebanon. In the further course of the hostage-taking, the chief stewardess Uli Derickson managed to negotiate the release of a large number of the hostages (including all women and children). In return for the release of the last 39 hostages on June 30th, over 700 Shiite prisoners were released from Israeli prisons. The two hijackers managed to go into hiding.
Hamadi was arrested on January 13, 1987 at Frankfurt Airport while trying to smuggle explosives into Germany. In May 1989 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for, among other things, murder , and the gravity of the guilt was determined. An extradition request from the USA was rejected because he was threatened with the death penalty in the USA .
He served his imprisonment first in Schwalmstadt , from 1992 onwards for the most part in the Saarbrücken correctional facility . According to a ruling by the Kleve Regional Court on November 30, 2005, Hamadi was released on parole on December 15, 2005 after almost nineteen years in prison and deported to Lebanon one day later.
The FBI had placed a bounty of up to $ 5 million on Hamadi and listed him on the list of most wanted terrorists. He is said to have been killed in a US drone attack in Pakistan on June 19, 2010 .
However, he is still listed by the FBI on the list of "Most Wanted Terrorists".
