Seventy or so, right, just three years after the nineteen sixty seven war at which Israel defeated its Arab adversaries, expanded its territory, and the Palestinian movement was really new.
voice-verified
Most of the world didn't really know about it.
voice-verified
Give us a sense of what this group did and what the ambitions of this leader, Wadi Hadad, were.
voice-verified
So Carlos, he was then a young man, Iliitsh Ramirez Sanchez, he had worked with this Palestinian movement, and then when it was purged by a King Hussein of Jordan, he hung with them and fought for a while there, but essentially took up took up their cause, moved back to England, lived in his mom's apartment for a while, but he ended up getting assignments, right, from the leader of this Palestinian group.
voice-verified
And his first assignment was well, you tell us about it.
voice-verified
And
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
But he passed his first test as far as as the Palestinian leaders thought.
voice-verified
So this guy
voice-verified
would be known as Carlos, he's a young man and he's working with this Palestinian group, which also connected with revolutionaries from many other countries, particularly German and also the Japanese Red Army.
voice-verified
And I wanted to focus on a moment in nineteen seventy four.
voice-verified
When a group of these terrorists, particularly the Japanese Red Army, um was supposed to kidnap the French ambassador to The Hague, and Carlos, who was in Europe, was supposed to be a part of this operation, the plans went a bit awry, and the group ended up shooting their way into the French embassy, taking the ambassador and others hostage, and demanding the release of a prisoner and a million dollars on a plane.
voice-verified
Um, but there was a standoff.
voice-verified
Carlos wasn't there, and while the negotiations are happen, on his own, he decides to support this operation with some initiative.
voice-verified
What did he do?
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
I'm I'm wondering what insight you have into the psychological makeup of this guy, this this casual willingness to inflict terrible
voice-verified
Damage on civilians, including children.
voice-verified
What permits him to do this?
voice-verified
Did did you ever feel like you got a read on it?
