Talk:Abu Nidal Organization internal executions

The strangest story ever told
The story of the mass purges in 87-88 when 600 members (33-50%) of the organisation was tortured and massacred IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. Abu Nidal may very well be one of the most evil and twisted leadership figures of his era in the Middle East, but he's not DUMB. No terrorist leader not matter how insane would wipe out the majority of his own "ground troops". That the ANO has been subject to purges from the very beginning in 73 is very likely, especially other leader figures seen as a threat to a paranoid personality such as Abu Nidal. I do believe that dozens of ordinary members have been killed during the years too. I just don't believe the scale of the 87-88 purges. If anything just remote has happened, it must be the strangest story ever told. And one of the sickest episodes of the last 100 years. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING, ANYWHERE RESEMBELING IT. A more realistic scenario is that USA, UK, France, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia or other countries struck by the ANO, made secret deals with the governments and secret services of Libya, Lebanon and Syria to arrest or exterminate the ANO members hiding in those countries in the late 80s. Wiping out entire terrorist camps in exchange for improved diplomatic relations and trade deals. Even millions of US dollars to the bank accounts of key figures (bribery). Nevertheless, why the extremely active years 73-88 of the ANO was followed by almost total inactivity 89-02 is a mystery that historians must try to solve in the future. And what happened to the members? Were they killed, arrested or did they join other groups after Abu Nidal was killed? Or do the organisation still exist with another leader? Bjarnulf, Oslo

PLO
''The Abu Nidal Organization was established by Sabri Khalil al-Bannah (Abu Nidal), a Palestinian Arab nationalist and a former Ba'ath party member. Al-Bannah established his faction within the PLO''

It might be nice, if someone told us less knowing what the mysterious PLO that is used maybe 100 times in this article is, at least what the abbreviation stands for.
