Some had their genitals placed in skillets of boiling-hot oil.—Duane 'Dewey' Clarridge[2]The Abu Nidal Organization (ANO)'s official newspaper Filastin al-Thawra regularly carried stories announcing the execution of traitors within the movement.
[3] Each new recruit of the ANO was given several days to write his entire life story by hand – including names and addresses of family members, friends, and lovers – and was then required to sign a paper agreeing to his execution if anything was found to be untrue.
Any discrepancies were taken as evidence that he was a spy and he would be made to write it out again, often after days of being beaten and nights spent forced to sleep standing up.
