The group, led by Abu Ibrahim, was formed in 1979 when it split with PFLP. Headquarters are unknown, however their area of operations is primarily Western Europe. Having said this, is is important to note that their most significant action was the 1982 bombing of a Pan Am flight en route to Honolulu in which a Japanese youth was killed. Their stated goal is the destruction of the state of Israel. The group has all but ceased to exist after it blended into Hawari's Special Operations Group.
