Death
Haddad died on 28 March 1978, in the German Democratic Republic. According to the book Striking Back, published by Aharon Klein in 2006, Haddad was eliminated by the Mossad, which had sent the chocolate-loving Haddad Belgian chocolates coated with a slow-acting and undetectable poison which caused him to die severals months later. "It took him a few long months to die", Klein said in the book. Haddad died in a rundown hotel in East Germany after doctors were unable to diagnose his disease.
What remained of the PFLP-EO dissolved after his death, but in the process augured the May 15 Organization and the PFLP-SC.
A 2010 German TV documentary cites Mossad agents confirming the assassination of Haddad by Mossad poisoned chocolate.
