Abu Khalid Al-`Amlah was a competent Palestinian military commander in the Fath movement. `Arafat never liked him: he was not corrupt, he was competent, and he was not submissive to `Arafat's autocratic rule. This man was one of the few to avoid getting dirty in the mud of the Lebanese civil war. He was not showy, and he took his job seriously. In 1983, Abu Khalid Al-`Amlah rebelled against `Arafat. This justified rebellion formed the Fath-Uprising movement. The movement was doomed. It agreed to become a tool of the Syrian regime. A movement that has a potential was stifled from the very beginning. Al-`Amlah lived in Damascus and was subjected to the same restrictions that apply to PLO leaders in Damascus. Today, the Syrian tyrannical government inexplicably arrested Al-`Amlah and his son. Don't be surprised if some wild accusation follows. This is a Ba`thist regime, after all.
