Popular Revolutionary Resistance Organization
Encyclopedia
Despite the deceiving ‘leftist’ trend of its title, the Popular Revolutionary Resistance Organization – PRRO (Arabic: Al-Tanzim al-Thawri al-Muqawama al-Sha’abiyah) or Organisation de la Resistance Populaire Révolutionnaire (OPPR) in French
was a Phoenicist-oriented, anti-Syrian Lebanese Christian underground terrorist group that emerged in March 1987, being responsible for a single combined bomb-and-rocket attack on a west Beirut hotel. Four residing Syrian intelligence officials were wounded in the course of action, and although the group warned of forthcoming attacks, little was heard of them since. It has been suggested that the PRRO was simply a cover for the Lebanese Liberation Front
or a splinter faction but is now considered to be inactive.
