This is unconscionable. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is a secular political grouping, one of three, along with Al Fatah and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, that constitutes the Palestine Liberation Organization. Except for airplane hijackings some quarter of a century ago, there's nothing about the PFLP - and even its armed wing - that could be characterized as "terrorist." There targets have been strictly military, much as were those of the Minutemen and Green Mountain Boys during the American Revolution. It's alleged involvement in the killing of the Israeli Tourism minister was in retaliation for the Israeli Defense Forces coldblooded murder of the PFLP's general secretary Abu Ali Mustapha in August of last year. (See the Socialist Party of Serbia's statement on this brutal and cowardly assassination at: http://www.sps.org.yu/eng/news/kasnije/2001-08-29-1.html) Note that the Palestinian National Authority has no right to request - much less demand - the extradition of the IDF and Israeli national cabinet members who ordered and carried out this murder. Much less to have the EU consider both as terrorist groups. --- Steve Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK > --------------------------- > > http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=157444&contrassID=1&subContrassID=1&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y > > EU set to add PFLP to list of terror groups > > By Reuters > 4/30/02 > > BRUSSELS - The European Union is set to update its > common list of "terrorist" groups to include the > Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) > and others this week, provided no member state > raises > objections, EU envoys agreed on Monday. > > Under the so-called written procedure, the 15 > member > states have until Thursday to reject the updated > list. > > "The final decision regarding a final list will be > known once the written procedure ends at midday on > Thursday, May 2," a spokeswoman for current EU > president Spain said in a statement.
