Fatah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fatah (Arabic: فتح); a reverse acronym from the Arabic name Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini (literally: "Palestinian National Liberation Movement") is a major Palestinian faction and the largest constituency of the PLO, a multi-party confederation. Some militant groups that affiliated themselves to Fatah, and some of the fedayeen within Fatah itself, carried out civilian plane hijackings and terrorist attacks, attributing them to Black September, Abu Nidal's Fatah-Revolutionary Council, Abu Musa's group, the PFLP, and the PFLP-GC. The Fatah official emblem shows two fists holding rifles and a hand grenade superimposed on a map of the land they claim as Palestine (roughly, present-day Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fatah   (610 words)

Al Fatah Al Fatah became increasingly important in the 1960s, and gained full control over PLO in 1969, which it had joined in 1967. Arafat is still the leader of Al Fatah, and Al Fatah remains the most powerful group of PLO and therefore also in the present state of Palestine. Al Fatah was committed to retain full independence for palestinians. lexicorient.com /e.o/fatah_al.htm   (153 words)

Palestinian Political Parties and Organizations Fatah believed that the Arab governments were not to be trusted (had prevented victory in 1948 war since they were concerned only with their own interests; also shown in treatment of refugees) and that therefore it must remain independent of all Arab governments, including Nasserism; also stress upon own distinctiveness as a people, ‘Palestinianness’. Fatah was to be modeled on the Algerian FLN as a "National Liberation Movement" that would win support of the Palestinian masses for armed liberation of Palestine. Fatah’s success has been due to its lack of emphasis on ideology, leading to support from all sectors of society, and its principle of non-interference in affairs of other Arab States resulting in support from most of them, ; generally opposed violent attacks outside the ME, especially from 1974. www.mideastweb.org /palestianparties.htm   (9656 words)

Biographies of Palestinian political leaders since 1967 Headed Fatah’s investigation into its conduct during the Lebanon war; but was sacked by Fatah-CC from his position after he came under wide-ranging criticisms during the Fatah rebellion in 1983 for his role in the PLO withdrawal from Lebanon. Some interpret his role as that of subduing local Fatah structures (under Marwan Barghuthi, Jibril Rajib) to ‘Arafat's rule; and was appointed as Fatah leader in the PA areas in early 1997.

Designating the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades As a result, Fatah and the PA would be forced to cease funding al-Aqsa and paying the salaries of its members or risk financial sanctions for engaging in financial dealings with an SDGT group. Long hesitant to probe too closely into terrorism conducted by Fatah elements for fear of delegitimizing the PA as a peace partner, the State Department’s addition of al-Aqsa to the FTO list underlines both the sharp rise in al-Aqsa terrorist tactics and Washington’s post- September 11 zero tolerance for terrorism. Fatah officials who hold senior positions within the PA also consider al-Aqsa part of Fatah, and, more disturbingly, laud its accomplishments. www.ict.org.il /articles/articledet.cfm?articleid=431   (841 words)

Fatah Fatah was originally opposed to the founding of the PLO, which it viewed as a political opponent. Fatah's popularity among Palestinians grew until it took control of the PLO in 1968.

MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base Fatah emerged from the underground in the mid-1960s, and in the power vacuum that followed the Arab defeat in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Fatah aligned itself with the PLO, establishing itself as the dominant faction within the PLO. Fatah therefore appears split between its role as the leader of the Palestinian Authority and its traditional role as the leader of the Palestinian resistance. Fatah was founded in the late 1950s by five Palestinian activists operating out of Kuwait: Yasser Arafat, Khalil El-Wazir, Salah Khalaf, Khalid al-Hasan, and Faruk Qaddumi. www.tkb.org /Group.jsp?groupID=128   (721 words)

Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades The brigades began in 2000 as an offshoot of Fatah, the secular Palestinian nationalist movement led by Arafat. At the time, the Fatah militias, consisting of the Fatah Tanzim, Force-17, and the various Palestinian security services, were still viewed, both by Israel and by the Palestinians themselves, as moderate forces. Taken together, the Fatah groups enjoy the overwhelming support of Arafat’s constituency, and he has invested a great deal in keeping them armed and active, even while his civilian infrastructure languishes for lack of funds and attention. www.middleeastfacts.com /middle-east/al-aqsa-martyrs-brigades.php   (4337 words)

MissileThreat :: Al Fatah The Al Fatah system is theoretically on hold at present; however, given the long duration of the program it is questionable whether the system was ever considered to be a great strategic asset on the part of Libya. The payloads for the Al Fatah are thought to be either chemical or high explosive, but it is possible that the 500 kg payload could eventually be used with a nuclear payload. The Al Fatah system is a short- to medium-range, surface-based, liquid propellant ballistic missile that is currently in development in Libya. www.missilethreat.com /missiles/al-fatah_libya.html   (331 words)
