Jordanian National Liberation Movement

Jordanian National Liberation Movement was a clandestine Jordanian political movement, connected to the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The group considered the Jordanian government as fascist. In its own description it demanded the removal of the Wasfi al-Tal cabinet and liberation of Jordan from American and British colonial influence.

The group began armed operations on September 11 1971. Some of its actions included:
* September 11 1971: Bomb placed outside security police building in Abdali (Amman). 2 policemen wounded.
* September 12 1971: The 'Abu Ahmeed' Restaurant, frequently visited by higher officers, bombed.
