Even tu, the Economist?

It is common in the Western press that they confuse the PFLP with PFLP-GC and with GE.  Here is the Economist (which insisted for months that `Alawites in Syria are no more than 5 or 6% but it corrected that error in recent issues):  ""But on June 6th Syrian army roadblocks prevented them from coming back, while in the huge Yarmouk refugee camp on the edge of Damascus mourners burned the office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a radical group, blaming it for sending the demonstrators to their deaths.""
