Split from the PFLP [Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine] in 1968, claiming that it wanted to focus more on fighting and less on politics. Violently opposed to Arafat's PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization]. Led by Ahmad Jabril, a former captain in the Syrian Army. Closely allied with, supported by, and probably directed by Syria. Has carried out numerous cross-border terrorist attacks into Israel using unusual means, such as hot air balloons and motorized hang gliders. 1, record 1, English, - Popular%20Front%20for%20the%20Liberation%20of%20Palestine%20%2D%20General%20Command
