Widow dies
NZPA-AP New York Marilyn Klinghoffer, widow of Leon Klinghoffer, who was killed by terrorists on the cruise ship Achille Lauro, died yesterday of cancer. She was 58. Mrs Klinghoffer died at Lenox Hill Hospital. She had been in the hospital for about two weeks, a family spokeswoman, Mrs Letty Simon, said. Mrs Klinghoffer and her husband were aboard
the Italian cruise ship when it was hijacked by Palestinian terrorists on October 7. Klinghoffer, who had suffered a stroke and was confined to a wheelchair, was shot and his body was tossed into the Mediterranean.
Mrs Klinghoffer announced soon after her release that she would establish a foundation to reward and educate people who opposed terrorism.
