* As-Sa ' iqa – Syrian-controlled Ba ' athist faction

As-Sa ' iqa ( also transliterated as al-Saika, Saeqa, etc., from Arabic: الصاعقة meaning storm or thunderbolt ; also known as the Vanguard for the Popular Liberation War ) is a Palestinian Baathist political and military faction created and controlled by Syria.

As-Sa ' iqa was initially the second-largest group within the PLO, after Fatah.

While this has prevented as-Sa ' iqa from gaining widespread popularity among Palestinians, it became an important force in the Palestinian camps in Syria, as well as in Lebanon.

Initially Syria encouraged its own Palestinian groups to compete in the process, facilitating the entrance of as-Sa ' iqa, PFLP-GC, and pro-Syrian Fatah members under Abu Musa.

The adoption of the program, under pressure from Arafat's Fatah faction and some minor groups ( e. g. DFLP, al-Sa ' iqa ) led many hard-line groups to break away from the Arafat and the mainstream PLO members, forming the Rejectionist Front.
