Hello. I wanted to ask if you, Could you add or re-add Zia-ul-Haq to the infobox? At least in the "Commanders" section as Zia-ul-Haq. In other word, replace the lack of Zia ul Haq with the addition of Zia-ul-Haq. My sources:

Not done: See Talk:Black September/Archive 1#Pakistani involvement. Skitash (talk) 12:41, 25 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Zia-ul-Haq should at least be listed as a commander. Maybe not representing Pakistan itself but as an individual present there. Also the main reason he was removed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Black_September/Archive_1#Pakistani_involvement was due to lack of proper sources, which I've provided.

Misleading informations about plane hijackings.

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"This involved the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) seizing three civilian passenger flights and forcing their landing in the Jordanian city of Zarqa, where they took foreign nationals as hostages and blew up the planes in front of international press. Hussein saw this as the last straw and ordered the Jordanian Army to take action.[10]" is misleading. It doesn't mention that the hostages were released before the planes were blown up. No hostages died. ~2026-37846-53 (talk) 17:08, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
