The Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Faction(Factions Armees Revolutionnaires Libanaises-FARL) grew out of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-Special Operations Group(PFLP-SOG), after the death of its leader, Wadi Haddad, in 1979. Although the FARL, PFLP and PFLP-SOG were all Marxist-Leninist organizations, some of the aims of the groups differed. While the PFLP and its factions advocated revolutionary political change throughout the Arab world, the FARL focused on the creation of a Marxist-Leninist state in Lebanon. 1, record 1, English, - Lebanese%20Armed%20Revolutionary%20Faction

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 2, English, - Popular%20Front%20for%20the%20Liberation%20of%20Palestine%2DGeneral%20Command

S'est séparé de l'OLP [Organisation de Libération de la Palestine] en 1968, prétextant qu'il voulait se consacrer davantage à la lutte armée et moins à la politique. Violemment opposé à l'OLP d'Arafat. Dirigé par Ahmed Jibril, ex-capitaine de l'armée syrienne. Très proche de la Syrie qui lui fournit probablement aide et direction. A exécuté de nombreuses attaques terroristes contre Israël utilisant des moyens inhabituels - dont des ballons dirigeables et des deltaplanes. 2, record 2, French, - Front%20populaire%20de%20lib%C3%A9ration%20de%20la%20Palestine%20%2D%20Commandement%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ral
