Are there any terrorists not supported by Saddam? US marines discover "PLF faction's bomb-making facility" in Iraq ptd.net NEAR BAGHDAD, April 7 (AFP) - US Marines in Iraq have discovered bomb-making facilities at a facility described as a training camp operated by the a faction of the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF), a military spokesman said Monday. Bomb-making facilities, chemicals, mortars, gas masks and AK-47s were found inside the 20-building complex to the east of Baghdad, said Public Affairs Officer Corporal John Hoellwarth. The complex, which was the size of a battalion headquarters, featured pictures of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, PLF faction leader Abu Abbas and the PLF's flag, Hoellwarth added. Other photos included pictures of Abu Abbas posing with a brigadier general from Saddam's Republican Guard inside the camp. Boxes of documents with PLF letterheads were also seized. Stores of fresh food including fresh tomatos and potatos were seen, indicating that the complex had recently been vacated. Followers of Abu Abbas carried the deadly attack in 1985 on the cruise ship Achille Lauro, but renounced terrorism after the 1993 Oslo peace accords between Israel and Palestinians. Abbas had been based in Tunisia but was more recently thought to be based in Baghdad.
