Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command is a Damascus-based Palestinian militant organization implicated by the Interfor investigative firm as the group behind the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
The PFLP-GC is a Palestinian militant organization. It was implicated by the private investigative firm Interfor as being behind the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. Interfor claimed that the PFLP-GC was able to get their bomb on board the 747 because the flight was part of a heroin smuggling route connected to the Syrian regime and protected by both the U.S. DEA and the CIA.1
Allegations suggest that a suitcase intended for heroin was covertly substituted with explosives by the PFLP-GC and Monzer Al-Kassar, unbeknownst to others involved in the alleged drug smuggling operation. The PFLP-GC also maintained camps in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, which were targeted by Israeli air strikes in 1989.1
