Al-Burkan

Al-Burkan (The Volcano, alt. Al-Burkan al Watani) was a Libyan dissident group opposed to the rule of Muammar Qaddafi, which was based in Rome and revealed in 1984.[1] The group claimed responsibility for the assassination of Libya's ambassador to Italy on 21 January 1984 in Rome.[2] Both Al-Burkan and the Shia militant group Musa Sadr Brigade took credit for the 11 September 1984 attack on two Libyan diplomats in Madrid.[3]
