A PFLP member who took part in the 1977 hijacking of Lufthansa Flight 181. Through 2015 the opening called her "a Palestinian former terrorist and member of the PFLP." Today the opening calls her only "a former militant and Lebanese member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine," though terrorist survives four times in the body. A reader arriving now learns she was a militant and not what Wikipedia itself once called her.
