  Ireland's OWN: Women Freedom Fighters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Leila, as she is known across the Arab world, was only 4 years old during the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948.
She never was able to go back and her quest for a lost homeland set her on a path that led to being branded as a dangerous terrorist by the United States and other Western intelligence agencies.
Leila's involvement with armed Palestinian groups began when she was only 15 years old and joined the Arab Freedom Movement under the influence of her older siblings.

Leila Khaled (ليلى خالد laylà ẖālid; born April 9, 1944) is a former member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), part of the secular, leftwing Palestinian rejectionist front.
According to some media sources, the PFLP leadership had thought that Yitzak Rabin, the Israeli ambassador to the United States would be on board.
This was however denied, by Leila Khaled herself, amongst others.

 My Adventures in Arabic - Campus Watch
Khalid, recently left motherless by an auto accident, is a graduate student in the College of Trade at the University of Cairo, a concentration he chose when his father convinced him, in Arabic, that "literature has not to it a future."
Khalid complains that he can't go out when the extended family comes over for the Friday feast; Maha, in a rousing monologue entitled "I Am Neither American Nor Egyptian," explores her hybridity like any good doubly conscious po-co.
Leila showed us, through her complexion, that Arab men were good enough for white women.

When Palestinian liberation fighter Leila Khaled hijacked her first plane in 1969, she became the international pin-up of armed struggle.
The iconic photograph of Leila Khaled, the picture which made her the symbol of Palestinian resistance and female power, is extraordinary in many ways: the gun held in fragile hands, the shiny hair wrapped in a keffiah, the delicate Audrey Hepburn face refusing to meet your eye.
Leila Khaled - international hijacker for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the papers' favourite 70s "girl terrorist" and "deadly beauty" - is now 57, and sitting with me in the House of Commons for her first ever interview on British soil.

Leila K. does not (as far as I know) have any education, she does not have a drivers license, her only occupation is as pop star.
Leila K possesses the explosive power of the creative young suburbanize clashing with mainstream society, and she has succeeded in propelling herself from the fundamentalist prison of her suburban childhood into the image of eurodisco trash queen.
Leila K. was released after the report of the crime was made, since she didn't seem to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Khalid, hearing the uproar, hurried forth; but all was over, and he retired exclaiming, "When the Lord hath determined a thing, the same cometh verily to pass." But the fate of Malik was not thus easily to be set at rest.
Khalid, unaware whether Abu Bekr might not be of the same mind, answered not a word but passed into the Caliph's presence.
The wild Bedawin entered the tent of Khalid, and, but for the chivalry of her captive, who conjured his countrymen to spare a lady of noble birth, Leila would have perished by their swords.

The first deal in which Khalid was involved alongside al-Said appears to have been the purchase of administrative equipment for an air defence system, bought from France in January 1984a deal which was, at that time, the biggest arms deal the French had ever made.

Among the comparatively mediocre films were Leila Khalid: Hijacker and the much-hyped John and Jane,both of which were disappointing to me as a viewer.
She wants to ask Leila if she realises that she has given the Palestinians a bad name (though Leila is sharp to point out that she never killed an innocent).
She is tentative and undecided in front of the camera and the questions she asks the proud and fierce Leila are lame and boring.

Now, I understand that he is not wearing the famous fl-and-white one, which Yasir Arafat used to wear in such a way that the part falling over his right shoulder would look like an outline of Palestine in its pre-48 borders.
I've only seen Khalid Mashal (the Hamas leader exiled in Damascus) wear a shawl with that pattern, but never any Hamas people inside Palestine, since this pattern is clearly associated with Fatah.
The red ones used to be worn by members of the PFLP, however only slung around the shoulders or to cover head and faces in combat (or at demonstrations), but never as an everyday headdress.
