Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine (IJLP) was a Lebanese radical Shia group that claimed credit for the January 24, 1987 abduction of three American and one Indian professors - Alann Steen, Jesse Turner, Robert Pohill, Mithal Eshwar Singh - from Beirut University College in West Beirut: [1] [2] They were eventually released.
IJLP is not to be confused with the similarly named Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, which is made up of Palestinians active in attacking Israeli military and civilan targets in Israel/Palestine and based in Damascus.
