Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Two factions that broke away from the PFLP are the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP-GC) and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). The PFLP shot and killed the far-right Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi in November 17, 2001 in revenge. The flight was targeted because the PFLP believed Israeli general Ariel Sharon, who had been a commander in Sinai in June 1967, was on board. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/PFLP   (1255 words)

Militant Palestinian & Islamic Organizations Weakened in February 1969 by the split led by Nayef Hawatmah, the PFLP still managed to hold onto its provocative role in the Hashemite Kingdom calling for an overthrow of the regime involving the PLO in the September 1970 confrontation which led to the elimination of the Palestinian resistance in Jordan. The PFLP remains one of the major forces within the PLO, and even if George Habash abstained during crucial votes at the 18th PNC held in Algiers in November 1988, the PFLP still supports the decisions that were democratically adopted on that occasion. The PFLP stemmed from the Arab Nationalists' Movement ANM, created in Beirut by two students, one a Palestinian refugee, George Habash, the other a Syrian who had volunteered in the Arab expedition corps in Palestine in 1948. www.eretzyisroel.org /~jkatz/plo.html   (6320 words)

Terrorism: Q & A PFLP, DFLP, PFLP-GC (Palestinian leftists) Until 2000, the PFLP was led by George Habash, a Palestinian doctor from an Orthodox Christian family. In 1968, the PFLP joined the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the main umbrella organization of the Palestinian national movement, which was then committed to a strategy of “armed struggle.” The PFLP became the second-largest PLO faction, after Arafat’s own al-Fatah. The PFLP sought to topple conservative Arab states, destroy Israel, and apply Marxist doctrine to the Palestinian struggle, which it saw as part of a broader proletarian revolution. www.terrorismanswers.org /groups/pflp_print.html   (1536 words)

"Sponsoring Terrorism: Syria and the PFLP-GC" (September 2002) After launching a handful of ineffective attacks from Lebanon into Israel in the mid-1960s, the Syrian-backed PLA merged with George Habash's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in December 1967. Born near Ramla in what is now Israel, Jibril moved to Syria in his teens and became a captain in the engineering corps of the Syrian army, where he developed ties with military figures who would later wield considerable power in Damascus. Tensions mounted almost immediately between Habash, a fiercely independent ideologue, and Jibril, who advocated armed conflict above all else and believed that the Palestinian struggle could not succeed without state sponsorship. www.meib.org /articles/0209_s1.htm   (4069 words)

Israeli Watch » PFLP Leadership Moving From Syria to Gaza Jibril, 77, is the founder and leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine/General Command (PFLP-GC), which has staged numerous attacks against Israeli and other targets, both military and civilian.

Was Iran Behind Lockerbie? -- 04/06/1999 Within weeks of the Lockerbie disaster, Middle Eastern experts were unambiguously blaming Iran, whom they said paid a cash-strapped Syrian-based PLO offshoot, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) to carry out the attack. Tal wrote that substantive evidence was found in the possession of a PFLP-GC cell captured in West Germany – three bombs similar in design to the one used in the Pan Am explosion. The PFLP-GC enjoyed Libyan support and patronage for many years, but a year after Lockerbie, Muammar Gadhaffi expelled the organization from the country, saying he was renouncing international terrorism. www.conservativenews.net /InDepth/archive/199904/IND19990406d.html   (853 words)
