This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Voyage of Terror: The Achille Lauro Affair''''' is a 1990 TV miniseries based on the 1985 [[Achille Lauro hijacking]] and starring [[Burt Lancaster]].
The two part series aired on TV in 1990 and was filmed on the actual ''Achille Lauro'' cruise ship.  It is the second adaption of the hijacking, after 1989's ''[[The Hijacking of the Achille Lauro]]''.

==Plot==
In October 1985, a group of Palestinian terrorists of the [[Palestine Liberation Organization|PLO]] embark on the Italian cruise ship ''[[MS Achille Lauro|Achille Lauro]]'' in Alexandria with the purpose of reaching [[Haifa]] and perform a suicide mission against [[Israel]]. However, when they're found out during the trip, they decide to hijack the ship and take all passengers hostage.  Among them are Mr. [[Leon Klinghoffer]] (Burt Lancaster), a disabled Jewish-American and his wife Marilyn Klinghoffer, who is hiding from her husband the fact she has skin cancer. Also taken hostage is Antonio, a ship staff member who bonds with Leon after looking after him at the request of Mrs. Klinghoffer.  Prior to the hijacking Klinghoffer decided to stay on the ship and not go on tour to see the pyramids. Given the situation, the terrorists change their purposes, asking for the liberation of almost 50 other Palestinian terrorists detained in Israel, but both Egypt and Israel refuse to negotiate.

When even [[Syria]] refuses the entrance of the ''Achille Lauro'' in [[Tartus]], the terrorists' leader Molqi (Joseph Nasser) kills Leon in retaliation and forces two sailors to throw his body overboard and the Syrians force the ship to leave.

To solve the situation, the PLO leader [[Yasser Arafat]] orders one of his men, [[Abu Abbas]] (who is the planner of the failed mission) to act as a negotiator for the Egyptian Government, and thanks to him the terrorists allow the ship and the hostages free in exchange for a safe return to Tunis.

However, immediately after Abbas and the terrorists have left for [[Tunis]] aboard an Egyptian passenger airliner, Klinghoffer's execution is discovered by the authorities.  Molqi forced the ''Achille Lauro''(('))s captain to lie about the murder in front of the negotiators, since the condition for negotiation was his word that all of the passengers were alive. At that point [[Ronald Reagan|President Reagan]] orders the U.S. Navy to intercept the airliner and force it to land at the [[Naval Air Station Sigonella|Sicilian NATO base at Sigonella]] where the terrorists can be arrested by a [[Delta Force]] detachment commanded by General Davies.

When the plane successfully lands in Sigonella, the [[Italian Army]], by order of the Prime Minister [[Bettino Craxi]], refuses to hand over the terrorists to the United States military, since the base is located on Italian soil and the murder itself happened aboard an Italian ship.

For an entire night the tension rises, with the Italian Air Force security VAM and [[Carabinieri]] almost at the point of exchanging gunfire with the Delta operators, but in the end President Reagan has no choice but to respect Italian jurisdiction over the terrorists. Molqi and his three companions are then taken in custody by the Italians, while Abu Abbas is left free to leave the country, despite the American request to arrest him, since there is not enough proof of his involvement in the hijacking.

A year later a Television news bulletin announces the sentences that the hijackers received but that Abu Abbas is not in prison. Antonio starts to cry as he remembers Leon.
