Men belonging to the armed groups of the Palestinian leaders George Habash

villagers from Beit Mellat in the north of Lebanon, who had fallen into
their hands. Nayef Hawatmeh is a member of the DFLP and his group was
recently removed from the list of terror groups by the Clinton
administration so he could work with Arafat. Subsequently, Israel refused
to allow him to enter Gaza as Israel considers him a dangerous terrorist,
yet the Clinton administration has not reversed its' decision.
