Atef Bseiso

Atef Bseiso (August 23, 1948 – June 8, 1992) (Arabic: عاطف بسيسو‎) was the PLO head of intelligence. He was killed in Paris in 1992. Yasser Arafat blamed the Israeli secret service Mossad for the killing. This involvement, to date, has not been proven. Israeli officials only commented on Bseiso's involvement in the Munich massacre.

Bseiso's death in 1992 was a blow to the PLO's effort to build a relationship with France and, through it, with other Western countries by passing along information on activities of various terrorist groups against Western interests. French police presume a team of killers followed Atef Bseiso from Berlin to Paris as he was driving to get his Jeep Renegade fixed by specialized mechanics there, where the killers connected with another team to close in on him in front of the Hôtel Méridien Montparnasse.
