jan 1, 1965 - Palestinian secular movements

Description:

Late 1960s: Palestinian secular movements target civilians outside the immediate arena of conflict. Radical Palestinians take advantage of modern communication and transportation systems to internationalize their struggle, launching hijackings, kidnappings, bombings, and shootings, and creating a transnational extremist network sponsored by states like the USSR and Arab states, that is copied by subsequent ethnic and religious terrorists movements.
