- online biography (hard to read because badly formatting)
I removed material that was self-contradictory.
The following statement:
To honor this Palestinian "Hero", a sports center funded by the U.S. and USAID in the West Bank town of Fara'a was named after him (Salah Khalaf).
does not strictly agree with www.usaid.gov article which states that the grant was to add recreation facilities to the existing Salah Khalaf Center in al-Fara'a. I'm not sure how to add the fact that there is a cetner named after him in that town.
The biography sited at the top gives me the impression that Abu Lyad was willing to take his own position even if it differed from his colleagues; I'm not willing to say that in my own words as beign outside my area of expertise.
[edit] Salah Khalaf
I suggest moving this article to Salah Khalaf. This is the proper name. "Abu Iyad" is a kunya, an honorific name. --Yodakii 06:01, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know. Everyone called him Abu Iyad. I've made Salah Khalaf a redirect in the meantime. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

- In Arab society people are commonly called by their kunya, sometimes it's preffered, as its considered more polite. But no one is registered by their kunya. We all know who Abu Ammar and Abu Mazen are. Though that is how they are commonly called, their proper names are used as article titles. Salah Khalaf may be by far the most well known Abu Iyad in the media, but I still think the proper name should be used as a title to avoid any ambiguity, and in lists to ease identification (instead of searching a long list of Abus). --Yodakii 06:51, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

- There's already a page at Salah Khalaf, so I couldn't move it automatically. Could you move it? Or should I make a request? --Yodakii 08:35, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Black September
I've requested a citation for the claim that only Israel and the U.S. alleged Abu Iyad founded Black September. I'll have a look around for one myself. SlimVirgin (talk) 17:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
