>I think Fatah and the Al-Aqsa Brigade are part of the PLO. There is another al-something or other brigade as well, which I think is a 3rd group under the umbrella of the PLO. (It has a lot of factions, some of which are actually factions and some of which are names that operations can be run under while the PLO maintains that it didn't order the attacks)

Tim-

The third group you're thinking of is the Tanzim. According to Israeli intelligence, Fatah is part of the Palestinian Authority, and Tanzim and Al-Aqsa Brigades are part of Fatah. If you ask a PA spokesman, he'll tell you they're all separate, though he'll be lying.

Regardless of how you split it all up, there are no fewer than 7 separate groups.
