Guerrilla Groups Call for Overthrow of Jordan King
Seven Palestinian guerrilla organizations led by Al Fatah called for the overthrow of King Hussein and a united Arab progressive government to rule Jordan. The joint statement aired from Baghdad on the fourth anniversary of the 1967 war, signaling a shift toward eradicating Hussein’s regime. The militants urged a government friendly to the guerrilla movement and warned of a planned crackdown by Hussein’s army in Jerash. A separate Beirut communique claimed guerrilla units crossed into Israeli-held Jordan and killed four Israeli soldiers, a claim dismissed by Israel as imagination.
