ISRAEL acknowledged Thursday it killed Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's deputy in a 1988 raid in Tunisia, lifting an almost 25-year veil of secrecy and allowing a rare glimpse into the shadowy world of its secret operations.
One commando was disguised as a woman on a romantic break, and a weapon was hidden in a box of chocolates.
Khalil al-Wazir, who was better known by his nom de guerre Abu Jihad, founded Fatah, the dominant faction in the Palestinian Liberation Organization, with Arafat and was blamed for a series of deadly attacks against Israelis.
Two of those involved in the operation now hold high political office in Israel - Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon.
