| Three Palestinians trained by al Qaeda in Iraq arrested |
| 2002-09-23 |
| Israeli radio stations reported Monday that Israel has arrested three Palestinians suspected of training with al-Qaeda operatives in Iraq and planning attacks in Israel. Israeli officials recently flew to the United States to brief the Pentagon on the arrests, the reports said. The Israeli Defense Ministry said it was not aware of such arrests. Makes sense that there are a certain number of Paleos with al-Qaeda training. Abu Zubaydah's a Paleostinian, for instance. If they got the training in Iraq, I'd guess it was more likely with the Ansar al-Islam bunch than with the Mukhabarat. |
