Terrorist flyers on campus at UMBC?

Posted by Jeff Quinton on April 24, 2007

The Jawa Report has the full story on a flyer that was photographed on campus at UMBC early in April. To our knowledge so far, it has no connection at all to the threatening flyers discovered this past Thursday (more here and here.)

Here’s a photograph of the flyer from early April:

The group name on the flyers is The Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Jerusalem. Dr. Rusty Shackleford at Jawa Report has looked at the photo and passed it on to others in the know and come up with the 3 possibilties quoted below:

a) Front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a specially designated terrorist organization.

b) Front for the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), once designated “terrorists” but have since been removed from the list by the State Department. The group is composed of Marxist-Leninist-Maoists.

c) Wannabes with sympathies to one of the two above groups.

These flyers were posted on the main part of campus near the University Center and were only up for a day or two.
