PLO, Based in Amman, Jordan


In Yasser Arafat’s life, perhaps his biggest accomplishment was becoming the president of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). The PLO did many things in the Middle East Region to help Palestine. The PLO was based in Amman, Jordan. The PLO was a real government organization, which gave it more power amongst the people of the Middle East as well as Israel. Some attacks from the PLO were memorable, such as their bombing on Swiss-Air flight 330, bound for Tel-Aviv. Fourty-nine people were killed in this bombing, but not all of the PLO’s acts were bad, they did some peaceful things, even making a treaty with Israel.
