One of these articles says he was Christian, the other says he was a member of the PLO working under orders of Arafat.

I dont know about PLO I do know about POS and he qualifies.

There is no contradiction between Sirhan Sirhan being PLO and an Arab Christian (albeit a bad one, since good Christians don’t murder folks). The PLO included the PFLP, headed by George Habash (at least a nominal Christian). Arafat’s wife was a Christian.

Until the past decade or so when all Arab militant groups took on a jihadi aspect, the PLO was principally a secularist nationalist movement, along the lines of the Ba’athist regimes in Syria and Iraq, and quite cozy with the Soviets back during the Cold War.
