Well, that depends who in the PLO. The PLO is a huge organization. It has several "Arms" and "Regiments". In the field many of the gunman take orders only from their own commander. Its a big mess right now. I do agree that Abu-Mazen is trying to stop the violence, and making steps towards that. Non the less, dont be mistaken, the PLO is, and always was, a terror group. I do not see any thing wrong with gurrila attacks on the military, those are legitimate acts of war, but when the PLO aatacks civilians, than they are a terror group.
