Atef Bseiso
Born	August 23, 1948 Palestine^{[citation needed]}
Died	June 8, 1992 Paris, France
Occupation	P.L.O. Security Official

Atef Bseiso (August 23, 1948 – June 8, 1992) (Arabic: عاطف بسيسو‎) was a Palestinian official who was assassinated by the Israeli secret service Mossad for alleged involvement in the Munich Massacre. This involvement, to date, has not been proven. Mr. Bseiso's death in 1992 was a blow to the P.L.O.'s effort to build a relationship with France and, through it, with other Western countries by passing along information on activities of various terrorist groups against Western interests. French police presume a team of killers followed Atef Bseiso from Berlin to Paris as he was driving to get his Jeep Renegade fixed by specialized mechanics there, where the killers connected with another team to close in on him in front of a Left Bank hotel.
