Saudis paid off boomers' families
The Saudi Arabian government paid more than $5,000 each to families of suicide bombers and other Palestinians killed in the terror campaign against Israel, according to documents obtained by Fox News. The documents, discovered by Israeli intelligence officers, contain a list of 102 deceased Palestinians whose families have each been paid 20,000 Saudi riyals â the equivalent of $5,340 â by the Saudi Interior Ministry. The names on the list were of suicide bombers and Palestinian commanders who had been killed in attacks against Israeli targets. It included the names of some of the highest-profile bombers who have been killed in recent attacks, among them children and women. The documents, if genuine, contradict the Saudi governmentâs consistent claim that it does not directly pay suicide bombersâ families. The Saudis have repeatedly insisted the money they send the Palestinians goes to rebuilding areas damaged or destroyed by Israeli forces operating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Saudi Entity lie? I am so shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-04-26 |
