Nidal was sick. He was in Iraq to recieve treatments for a mild skin cancaer. He was trying ti retire...

...plus he was living undergound as one of the most wanted men alive , before popping up in Egypt around 1997. Pres. Mubarak hired him to fight Al Qaeda and Islamic Jihad, before they gained too much power. Even the Clinton White House backed the plan to try and turn the fundamentalist groups against each other. There's no proof, but it's been said that the Abu Nidal Organization worked alongside US Special Ops to clear out terrorist cells in prep for maneuvers in Kosovo.

In 2000. Nidal started double dealing, and selling intelligence on the US and Egypt, most likely to Al Qaeda itself, then took off for Iraq Clinton killed the CIA investigation into Nidal and Al Qaeda went ahead with 9/1 shortly after.

If you believe there were Al Qarda training camps in pro-Iraq fundamentalist Kurdish towns of Biyar and Tawil in the shoman district of Norhtern Iraq - then Nidal played the laison role between Saddam and the Al Qada. He would have been killed for knowing too much, and to send a message to Yassar Arafat and others who might want to deal with the US. A terrorist by the name of Abu Iyad was killed in 1991 for the same reason.

If you don't believe the training camps existed, or that a connection exists, then it's like Abu Nidal was killed for refusing to make the arrangements. He was brought to Baghdad shortly after working with Bin Laden.
