Security sources: Iran has financed most attacks since truce
2003-08-05
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 Arafat’s Fatah party, but they do not necessarily adhere to orders from the party’s political leadership, and are more dependent on money and orders coming from Iran and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah organization, which is based in Lebanon.
Yasser’s 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.

PS Why'd you change your handle? What'd I miss?

#3  Yeah, isn't it sweet? Now we're down to 2 Rich Uncles left in Arabia. And the Black Hats certainly lack the Saudis' understanding of America and are, consequently, fucking up big-time. And soon there will be only one...

Where the Saudis have been playing us like a violin for 50+ years, the Iranian Mullahs have been ham-handed and dumb as bricks. Hard to imagine that they could be less adroit than demonstrated thus far. They really do need to invest in some Madison Ave assistance. Phools.

So I guess, with the El Lay Times spilling the beans publicly about the advanced state of Iran's Nuke Pgm, the Shihab-3 (?) missile that can reach Israel being distributed to "front-line" units, funding the shitheads this openly, and their general ranting and raving, they have managed to make themselves the most obvious next step. I had thought, prior to the nuke revelations, that SyrLeb would be the obvious next step. But following & stopping the money that runs it will be more effective, anyway.

I guess being the squeakiest wheel, discounting the ravings of the NorKs, is just too attractive to the terminally stupid. Okay, we see you. You've managed to put yourself at the top of the list. Congrats. Condolences to Little Mo's "bloodline."

Didn't our girl, Saint Flatbabe, die to protect some of these tunnels?
Bitch looks stupider every day.

#1  It looks like Iran is the next target on the WOT, or chess move if you like. If weapons are being smuggled into Gaza through Egypt, then Egypt has some 'splaining to do, too. For terrorist money, we have Iran and we have Saudi. Pakistan is getting some $$ from the US, but military aid, etc. is coming from the Saudi Bankroll. After the fall of Iraq, that source dried up. Saudi is on the defensive, but Iran is feeling frisky, especially with construction of Nukes well under way, with both options: U235 and Pu239 options.
