An event mentioned in this article is an October 7 selected anniversary.
I saw The Death of Klinghoffer in 1991 in NY. But I don't remember any contraversy. What specifically was the contraversy? Kingturtle 08:15 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
Many people thought the Palestinians were portrayed too sympathetically.
BTW, who was the person that the ship was named for? -- Zoe
The mayor of Naples back in the 1950s. Matt Deres 13:57, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Hmm . . . the hijackers were PLF, but the lawsuit was against the PLO? I see from the PLF article that the two were somewhat intertwined, but shouldn't there be some clarification of that here? Ventura 17:32, 2004 Sep 23 (UTC)
For that matter, in what court and in what matter do you sue an organization like the PLO? Anybody who knows the details, please add information for us. LotSolarin 19:57, 2004 Oct 7 (UTC)

[edit] Could This Article Be Enhanced?
For example how has the hijacking been linked to the bombing of the PLO headquarters six days earlier? Can there be a source supplied for this? Or else it is rational to think the attack have happen otherwise as the PLO has violence against civilians. Was the American positively dead when he was thrown into the water or was he shot and wounded and dumped into the sea still alive? -John-M
[edit] Fire
Would anybody be able to cite news articles relating to the sinking of the ship, or indeed any accident report or at least add the cause of the fire, any further info would settle my curiosity and be useful to the article W022a 20:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] One Article or Two?
Should there be an Achille Lauro article and one on the hijacking?
It seems this article is, currently, mainly about the hijacking, with details on the ship of lesser importance.
The ship seems, in fact, to have had a rather chequered career, if this BBC article is to be believed. V. berus 02:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Registry
The ship was apparently owned by an Italian firm, but with which nation was it registered? —SlamDiego 02:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, various sources say that it was of Italian registry. —SlamDiego 02:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
