#1 though Black September was a part of the Fatah movement, the linkage between Arafat and this group has never been established

This must be the same cadre that doesn't see a link between Arafat and the present day Hamas homicide bombers. Let's put it this way, NOTHING happened in any Fatah related group unless Arafat okayed it. Those who cross Arafat (e.g. Abu Nidal) ended up on a black list.

#2 Doug, Nidal ended up on the DRT (Dead Right There) list. As do all of Arafat's enemies.

I suspect that Arafat does not have 100% control over his organization, but he does, and always has had, the power to "correct" any mistakes made by his people.
