They were kicked out of Jordan and he doesn't want them because they murdered a lot of people. T.G. can probably provide the date, time and death toll.

September 1970
Jordan and Palestinian Forces under the PLO fight during Black September.


Because the Palestinians were forced to leave their land after war with Israel in 1967, they wanted a place to live. Some Palestinians fighters, called fedayeen wanted to make Jordan their country. King Hussein gave them many chances to obey Jordanian rules, but by 1970, fighting took place. The Jordanian army defeated the fedayeen, and forced many Palestinians to follow Jordanian laws or leave.
