Security sources: Iran has financed most attacks since truce
Most terror attacks carried out since the cease-fire agreement between the Palestinian Authority and militant factions was signed in June were organized by Fatah members, who received orders and financing from Iran, security officials said Tuesday. According to security sources,the militant organizations are also trying to send representatives abroad through the Rafah crossing in the Gaza Strip, which borders the Israel-Egypt frontier. The armed militants who receive orders from Iran are members of local cells belonging to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, associated with PA Chairman Yasser Arafatâs Fatah party, but they do not necessarily adhere to orders from the partyâs political leadership, and are more dependent on money and orders coming from Iran and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah organization, which is based in Lebanon. Yasserâs checks been bouncing? Since the hudna agreement was signed on June 29, the Israeli security establishment has uncovered several attempts to transfer information on weapons from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank. Hamas and Islamic Jihad are also expecting large-scale deliveries of weapons smuggled through tunnels across the border with Egypt, the sources said. Need to connect those tunnels to the sewer system, then flush. Posted by: Steve 2003-08-05 |
