  BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Ahmed Jibril and the PFLP-GC
Ahmed Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command belongs to a bygone era of Palestinian struggle against Israel.

Ahmed Jibril was born in the Palestinian city of Jaffa, now in Israel, in 1928, but his family moved to Syria and he became an officer in the Syrian army.

Ahmed Jibril, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, is planning to fulfill a "right of return" to the Gaza Strip, Dr. Abdallah al-Hakim, a member of the political arm of the terrorist group whose top brass is in exile, confirmed Sunday.
Jibril said his return depends on “the absence of Zionist presence under any form in the area (Gaza), be it roadblocks or crossings.” Asked if Jirbril is planning to make Gaza his permanent home, al-Hakim replied that he is not that familiar with what’s going on in Jibril’s head.
“Jibril will see the sufferings and sacrifices of the Palestinians, which will induce him to stay or at least to commute between Gaza and abroad in a sign of connection to both the Palestinian and refugee problems,” the PFLP member said.
