Assassination
Mohsen was assassinated on July 25 in 1979 in Cannes, France. The assassination is commonly attributed to the Israeli Mossad, but other suggestions include e.g. Iraq, Abu Nidal or Western intelligence services. After his death, al-Sa'iqa's importance dwindled, and Syria partially turned towards other Palestinian movements, such as the PFLP-GC.
