Rival “Palestine Liberation” movements are now meeting in Cairo to discuss escalation of guerrilla operations against Israel, according to reports received here today. The Cairo newspaper, Al Ahram, said the Arab representatives of the various terrorist groups convened “to explore the possibilities of bringing about unified Palestine action, mobilizing all potential guerrilla groups, and escalating the armed struggle in occupied territory.”

The meeting followed the resignation of Ahmed Shukairy as chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Younger Arabs were reportedly urging more action against Israel, and less talk. The meeting sought to organize a council representing all elements, to coordinate and increase the tempo of terrorism against Israel.
