PLO Faces Inside Struggle From Rival Factions
Beir ut Lebanon AP Seventeen years after its founding the PLO is recognized by 117 nations as the representative of about 4 million Palestinians. It is an uneasy coalition of eight rival factions backed by Arab governments. Fatah dominates PLO power with three fifths of Palestine National Council seats and most top posts, while other factions seek influence amid political infighting. The PLO seeks legitimacy abroad but the United States rejects dealing with it until Israel is recognized.
