...P.L.O. delegation traveled to Egypt last week and won President Hosni Mubarak's support for a plan to "offer through a provisional government a political program that would be internationally acceptable," a P.L.O. official said. Speaking to the Paris weekly Journal du Dimanche, Arafat's second in command, Salah Khalaf, said the new agenda "would be completely different" from the 1968 National Charter calling for "armed struggle" to destroy Israel...
...when Arabs ambushed and killed six Jewish settlers in the city of Hebron. One month later, two car bombs went off on the same morning, severing both legs of Mayor Bassam Shaka'a of Nablus and blowing off part of the left foot of Ramallah Mayor Karim Khalaf. Every few months fresh blood was shed: a settler would die after being knifed or hit by a rock, then an Arab would be killed by a booby-trapped grenade hidden among stones. In 1983, three Arabs stabbed a Jewish student to death in Hebron's marketplace; three weeks later...

Experts on terrorism believe that the leader of the revived group is Salah Khalaf, better known as Abu Iyad, the P.L.O.'s "Interior Minister" and, as it happens, one of Arafat's top aides. In September 1970, Abu Iyad first launched the Black September terrorist group as a result of bitter fighting that year between Palestinian fedayeen and Jordan's King Hussein...
...controversy broke over a report published in the Washington Star. The newspaper charged that within days of the car bombings that critically injured Nablus Mayor Bassam Shaka'a and Ramallah Mayor Karim Khalaf (a third mayor, El-Bireh's Ibrahim Tawil, escaped unscathed), Shin Bet, as the security service is known, turned up evidence that linked six members of the ultranationalist Gush Emunim settler movement to the attacks...
