Palestinian guerrillas will move from Syria to Jordan to join the regular Palestine Liberation Army under a new agreement with King Hussein, Palestinian sources said.

The PLA consists of Palestinian units under the command of the national armies of several Arab states and separate from the Palestinians' irregular forces. The sources said the agreement had been reached during talks earlier this month.
