This exercise will refresh summary and executive writing skills and will assist with the connection of terrorist organization activities with the readings in chapter three.
Directions:
1. After reading Chapter 3 fully, revise the section headed The Palestinians as Mentors: The Rise of Revolutionary Left-Wing Terrorism. Make note of changes internationally and in the US, during the 60s that fueled the rise of left-wing terrorist activity.
