Return to Haifa |
Posted on November 12, 2000
Khalid, Layla
hijacker, political activist
1944- Haifa
Born to a relatively well-to-do family of eight children, Layla Khalid found herself in Lebanon
after her hometown fell into the hands of armed Zionists. She entered the American University of Beirut in 1962 and joined the Movement of Arab Nationalists. She left the next year to teach in Kuwait, where, in 1968, she joined the POPULAR FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF PALESTINE (PFLP). She returned to Amman, where she attended paramilitary training courses. On August 29, 1969, she participated in the hijacking of a Trans World Airlines plane enroute to Damascus. On September 6, 1970, she participated in an unsuccessful hijacking attempt of an El Al plane, for which she was sentenced to prison in London. She was released in a matter of weeks and became a member of the Central Committee of the PFLP.
