 Zarqa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zarqa (Arabic: الزرقاء‎; BGN: Az Zarqāʼ; local pronunciation ez-Zergā or ez-Zer'a) is a city in Jordan located to the northeast of Amman.
Zarqa achieved international notoriety when, on September 6, 1970, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hijacked four passenger aircraft from Pan Am, TWA and Swissair on flights to New York from Brussels, Frankfurt and Zurich; and on September 9, 1970, hijacked a BOAC flight from Bombay to Rome.
In response, King Hussein of Jordan formed a military government on September 16, 1970 and began shelling Palestinian guerrilla positions, eventually expelling the PLO from Jordan in what became known as Black September.
