Who is the DFLP?
1515 GMT, 010911
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attacks on the World Trade Center. This report, fromm a television station in Abu Dhabi, in unconfirmed.
The DFLP was formed in 1969 with an estimated membership of 500. It was originally based in Syria, but the location of its current headquarters are unknown. The DFLP receives financial and military aid from Syria and Libya. It operates in Syria, Lebanon, Israel and the occupied territories. Its leader is Naif Hawatmeh, according to Israeli-based Interdisciplinary Center.
The group was largely dormant from 1988 until this summer, when it claimed responsibility for an Aug. 25 attack against an Israeli military post in the Gaza Strip that left three Israeli soldiers dead. This attack was the first instance of Palestinians successfully using conventional military-style tactics.
Before this year, DFLP operations have always taken place either inside Israel or the West Bank and Gaza. Typical acts include minor bombings and grenade attacks, as well as operations to seize hostages and attempts to negotiate the return of Israeli-held Palestinian prisoners.
The group split from the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) years ago, but reconciled with the PFLP - and with Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat - in August 1999.
The attacks differ significantly from the DFLP's previous methods of operation. Likewise, the resources and infrastructure necessary for such attacks are far beyond the group's traditional means. Either the DFLP's claims are spurious, or it has joined forces with other groups.

CIA ex-Director Jim Woolsey this eve. on TV,
aired the hypothesis that it was Iraq/Saddam,
based upon the fact that a "highly respected FBI agent",
who was later dismissed by Bill Clinton, for the WTC case #1,
was pursuing a theory and
strong evidence linking the first WTC bombing to Saddam/Iraq.

The terror of today is the direct result of the loose immigration policy that has allowed thousands of Islamic militants to enter this country. Rid us of Arab and moslem immigrants NOW!
To: imperator2
We didn't "allow" these muslim hoardes into this country. We INVITED them. That was our mistake, not too late to be corrected.

Remember, it was Syria who supported training of PLO, and Hammas operatives through the East German Contingent usinf Soviet Money. Assads' reach was very long. As an Arab he was respected and listened to. Even he has died, his successor, and political regime still live on. Stratfor's article as with others in the past has been well researched, and quite accurate.
