Islamic âcharitiesâ say bank accounts frozen by PA
JPost - Reg Reqâd - Arafatâs wife Suha must need shopping moneyOfficials of several Islamic charities in the Gaza Strip said Thursday that 36 of their bank accounts have been frozen by the Palestinian Authority, in what appeared to be part of a possible crackdown on terror groups. yeah, rigggghhhtttt Palestinian Authority officials could not immediately be reached for comment. too busy chuckling The freezing of funds came to light Thursday, as hundreds of Palestinians relying on welfare tried to pick up their monthly support checks. They were told by banks that they would not receive money, and that the accounts had been frozen. The heads of the charities were given the same message by the banks. The funds were frozen by the Palestinian Monetary Authority, according to a copy of the order obtained by The Associated Press. This is more show for PR...nothing of substance, other than Arafat trying to assert control - as usual. But you can bet Chirac will be all over it like a cheap suit to justify their support of Hamas, PA, and IJ
