(11:25) US asks Syria to clamp down on PFLP

The United States has again asked Syria to clamp down on the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is based in Damascus.

The radical Marxist terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the assassination of cabinet minister Rehavam Ze'evi Wednesday morning in Jerusalem.

The US asked Syria to adopt a consistent policy regarding terrorism, and not to make a distinction between what it considers to be "good terrorism" and "bad terrorism," the Beirut newspaper A-Safir reported.

Syria harbors 10 terrorist Palestinian organizations, including the PFLP, Israel Radio reported.
