حركة القوميين العرب
The main forerunner of the PFLO was the Dhofar Liberation Front (جبهة تحرير ظفار - "Jabhat Tahrir Dhofar", DLF) which was based in Dhofar, the southern province of Oman. It was founded in 1962 by the Dhofar Benevolent Society (DBS), the Dhofar Soldiers’ Organisation (DSO) and the local branch of the Arab Nationalist Movement (ANM) and began armed struggle in June 1965.
