oamotme Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Gentlemen,I am currrently researching the Dhofar Liberation Front (DLF), Popular Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arabian Gulf (PFLOAG), National Democratic Front for the Liberation of Oman (NDFLOAG), Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman (PFLO) and I am endeavouring to obtain a picture of the initial two leaders of these organisations Mussalim Bin Nufl (1963-68), a former member of Sultan Saeed's household, and his successor in Mohammed Ahmed Saeed Al Ghassani (1968-1975). Does anyone have any information? I detail below a potential bibliography? Who Dares Wins, Tony Geraghty, 1980, Arms & Armoour;? SAS operation Oman, Colonel Tony Jeapes, 1980, The Battery Press, Inc.? We Won a War, John Akehurst, 1982, Michael Russell;? A History of the SAS Regiment, John Strawson, 1984, Secker & Warburg;? Honour to the Airborne (Part 2), David Buxton, 1985, Elmdon Publishing [A5 booklet].? The Secret War, Dhofar 1971/1972, David C. Arkless, 1988, William Kimber & Co. Ltd.? A-Z of the SAS, Peter Darman, 1992, Sidgwick & Jackson;? Muscat Command, Peter Thwaites, 1995, Leo Cooper.? In the Service of the Sultan, Ian Gardiner, 2006, Pen & Sword;There are no such pictures in Arkless, Jeapes or Thwaites books - perhaps the others may assist.Kind regards,Owain (OAMOTME) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger-pie Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Dear Tiger-pie,Many thanks - does this book include photographs of Nufl or Ghassani?OwainMate, I can't remember. It did have photos of the patrol members, and areas they were in. I was about 12 or 13 when I read it, a while ago now. Ranulph Fiennes was basically working as a mercenary for Oman, if I recall correctly, so the story is biased toward his experiances. However, I added it as you may find it an interesting angle on that particular conflict.Regards,TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
