| Explosions in Yasser's compound |
| 2002-04-24 |
| Two explosions heard near Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's headquarters in the Mukata complex in Ramallah were the result of sappers blowing up weapons discovered in the compound, the IDF said yesterday. Tawfik Tirawi, head of the West Bank Intelligence Service, accused Israel of attempting to destroy the wall between Arafat's office and the adjacent prison building. "They want to destroy the wall so they can enter his office," he charged. The whole world knows they want nothing more than to break into the building so they can root through his underwear drawer. The IDF said sappers detonated grenades found in buildings inside the compound. "Hey! We were gonna use those!" |
