Al-Saiqa was a Marxist Muslim Palestinian terror club founded by Syrian Ba'athists. It served as a pan-Arab, pan-Islamic, Syrian-backed movement within the Palestinian Liberation Organization - the PLO.

In 1976, Al-Saiqa was expelled from the PLO. It was used thereafter by the Syrian Assad regime. It was against the Madrid conference and Oslo accords between Israel and the PLO.[1]
