PFLP-GC terror group says leader Talal Naji was arrested by Syrian authorities
[IsraelTimes] Small terrorist faction, which was allied with ousted Assad regime, says it reached out to PA’s Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal ‘to request their urgent intervention’
Why on earth would the conquering Al Qaeda government listen to the PA unbelievers and inadequately pious Palestinian Muslim Brotherhooders about a bunch of PLO Communists who spent the last generation supporting the Baathist (Arab national socialist) Assad government?

, said their leader was arrested Saturday by the country’s new Islamist-led authorities.

The arrest of the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine-General Command (PFLP-GC) came after the armed wing of another Paleostinian terrorist group, Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, said last month that the new authorities had detained two of its officials on unspecified charges.

The United States, which blacklists both Paleostinian groups, the PFLP-GC and Islamic Jihad as terrorist organizations, has said it will not ease Assad-era sanctions on Syria until it has verified progress on priorities including acting against terrorism.

Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, a PFLP official told AFP that "Secretary General Talal Naji was arrested" in Damascus.

A second official confirmed the arrest, while a third said: "Naji was asked... to report to one of the security branches and has not returned. Most likely, he was arrested."

The first official said the faction had contacted Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....>
and senior Hamas

official Khaled Mashaal "to request their urgent intervention."

Last month, a statement from Islamic Jihad’s military wing said that the terror group’s Syria representative, Khaled Khaled, and organizing committee member, Yasser al-Zafri, were tossed into the calaboose in Syria for days "without explanation."

It expressed hope "that our brothers in the Syrian government" would release the pair, noting their detention came as the Iran-backed terrorist organization is "fighting the Zionist enemy [Israel]" in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
alongside its ally Hamas.

Syria hosted Paleostinian armed factions for decades under the Assad family’s rule when it was part of the Iran-backed "axis of resistance" against Israel and the United States.

In late March, US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said Syria’s new authorities should "fully renounce and suppress terrorism, exclude foreign terrorist fighters from any official roles [and] prevent Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and its proxies from exploiting Syrian territory."

The PFLP-GC was founded in 1968 after breaking away from the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine.

When conflict erupted in Syria in 2011 with the brutal repression of peaceful pro-democracy protests, the PFLP-GC stood firmly by Assad’s government.

After rebels, including jihadists, overran parts of the Yarmuk Paleostinian refugee camp on the outskirts of Damascus in 2012, the PFLP-GC’s armed wing fought alongside Syrian government forces to take it back.

The terror group has been accused of criminal masterminding the bombing of Swissair Flight SR330 in February 1970, as well as several attacks against Israeli civilians.

Naji was elected secretary general in 2021 after the death of the PFLP-GC’s founder, Ahmad Jibril.
