Today in Labor History July 19, 1972: British SAS units helped the Omani government against the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman rebels in the Battle of Mirbat, during the Dhofar Rebellion. The Front was a Marxist, pan-Arab nationalist group which wanted an independent state in Dhofar, free from Sultanic rule. They were supported by Communist Guerillas from South Yemen and received backing from both China and the USSR.
