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.
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'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)
One of the tags is "refimprove"- there is at least one statement in the article which is tagged as needing a citation - which you did not fix, so you can't remove that tag.

Page was edited as per above to include reference to how Khalaf claimed responsibility for Munich in his memoirs. No page number was provided in the references, and no electronic copy is forthcoming on the internet. Does anyone have access to a physical copy for reference? -- 3Form ( talk) 19:40, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
The last available talk page post, from 2018, addresses this partially, but it appears that nothing further took place. Claims about Salah Khalaf's open admission to involvement in the Munich hostage operation in his 'memoir' (Apparently a collection of interviews originally published in French), up to the claim of his having admitted to 'hand-picking' some of the agents, are extraordinary. Writing here and elsewhere on Abu Daoud's writings on involvement in the operation, and his own claims of Khalaf's involvement and general presiding over 'Black September' operations, are more openly available, with quotations and elaboration, despite the full text of the memoir (This actually appearing to be a proper memoir, also originally published in French) being seemingly unavailable online, as well; Existing forms of the claim about Khalaf's collection, however, give little more detail than the hidden section here, with many, although not all, being dated after the addition of the text hidden here. In writings where this claim is not made, despite often dating after the English publication of this collection of interviews with Khalaf, the role of Khalaf in 'Black September' operations and the Munich attack is recounted as allegation. Given the seemingly extraordinary character of the claim about this 'memoir' and its contents, and of supposed admitting therein, the now-hidden text should, I say, remain hidden until either a page number, and preferably a cited portion, is provided for the 'memoir', or until sound justification for the actual deletion of the section manifests in relation to this. The separate part of the hidden section about the alleged transportation of weapons may be added again at a future date regardless, with revision to clarify its sourcing from Abu Daoud's own memoir; And the part which explicitly mentions Abu Daoud's memoir, as well. If added once again, these two parts should be added together with revision and, hopefully, proper expansion. Zusty001 ( talk) 08:32, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
