Mohammed Ali Hammadi

A member of Hezbollah, he was convicted in a West German court of law of air piracy, murder, and possession of explosives for his part in the 14 June 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847.

[2] Under indictment by US law enforcement for crimes related to the same hijacking, during which one passenger, US Navy Seabee diver Robert Stethem, was extensively tortured prior to being murdered, Hamadei was sentenced to life imprisonment by the West German court.

[3] Two years after the TWA Flight 847 attack, Hamadei was arrested in Frankfurt, West Germany, in 1987 while attempting to smuggle liquid explosives.

His indicted accomplices in the TWA Flight 847 attack, Hassan Izz-Al-Din and Ali Atwa continue to elude arrest and currently remain at large, having been placed among the original 22 fugitives on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list on 10 October 2001, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

[10] According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur, unconfirmed Pakistani intelligence sources reported that Hamadei was killed in a CIA drone strike inside Pakistan in June 2010.
