Dr. George Habash. To prove this, Dr. Habash confessed that
at one point he approached Michel Aflaq, the Ba'th leader,
with the idea of accepting the Kata'ib as the armed arm of
the Party. "We wanted to give the Ba'th teeth but its
leadership turned us down. Aflaq asked us to join the
party first and only then he would entertain our suggestions! "74
Having observed the futility of political action through the
channels of a system where the rules of the game have been
set to perpetuate the men in power, the Kata'ib refused
to dissolve itself.
The conflict between the main body of the Kata'ib
and the Egyptian faction came to a climax when the latter
group was induced by some Syrian politicians to plan the
assassination of Col. Adib Shishakli and Akram al-Hourani.
The majority of the Kata'ib leadership was alarmed by the
misdirection and naiveté of their fellow partners. They
rejected the suggestion off hand and called upon those who
made the arrangements with the Syrian politicians to account
for their undisciplined conduct. Indeed they believed that
such indiscriminate acts of terror would endanger their
cause and render their organization reckless and self-
destructing. In the face of this opposition, the Egyptian
faction of professional terrorists withdrew from the mother
organization in order to be free to practice their.
21 ased on personal correspondence between
Dr. George Habash and the author.
