It is a maxim of this wiki that no article will be blog-like - it will instead be encyclopedic in the extreme.

We will never never have a an article with a name like - The Sigonella What? You won’t believe this!”

Instead - the style will follow correct journalistic protocols, processes, procedures, platonic ideals, and platitudes. And never stray into being an opinion piece.

Hence - the heading:

“The Sigonella Crisis - HOLY SHIT!”

This gives the complete story, everything you will take away from it, in five words.

It begins with the Achille Lauro hijacking

1985 - October

the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men from the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing
