In 1969, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group are pictured flaunting their weapons in the mountains east of the Jordan River. Eclipsed in recent decades by the other Palestinian factions of Fatah and Hamas, the PFLP returned to the scene with a vengeance on Nov. 18, 2014, at a synagogue in the Har Nof section of Jerusalem. Four male worshippers and a Druze police officer were killed in the especially bloody terror attack. Credit: Thomas R. Koeniges via Wikimedia Commons.
