Attackers of Airliner on Outs With Other Arab Guerrillas
In Lebanon the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a Marxist militant group, faces internal splits between its two wings while Al Fatah under Yasser Arafat coordinates with other groups. The Zurich attack is blamed on factions, with Ha bash and Hawatma leading rival camps. The Front’s most dramatic strikes target Israel’s El Al, including a Rome to Tel Aviv hijack and a December Athens assault.
