Guerrilla splinter group of the Palestine
Liberation Organization formed in 1970.
Operating from bases in Syria and Lebanon,
it was responsible for the kidnappings at
the Munich Olympics 1972 that led to the
deaths of 11 Israelis, and more recent hijack
and bomb attempts. The group is named after
the month in which Palestinian guerrillas
were expelled from Jordan by King Hussein.
