| Documents show Arafat paid for disco bombing |
| 2004-09-15 |
| Sent thank-you note to family of terrorist who killed 21, injured 120 Yasser Arafat paid $2,000 to the family of a Palestinian suicide bomber who attacked the beach front Dolphinarium dance club in Tel Aviv in 2001 and then sent the terrorist's father a letter in which he praised his son's murderous act, according to documents captured in a recent Israeli operation that were released yesterday. The attack on the Dolphinarium was one of the most brutal massacres of the Palestinian intifadah, killing 21 people, mostly teens, on a Friday night in June 2001. More than 120 people were injured in the powerful blast carried out by Hamas terrorist Hassan Khutari. It was disclosed in documents published yesterday by the Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism unit at the Center for Special Studies that the Palestinian Authority transferred $2,000 to Khutari's father, who resides in Jordan. The documents, seized from the Institute for Caring for Victims' Families — a division of the Palestinian Welfare Ministry — were captured during Israel's Operation Defensive Shield in March 2002. Israel National News reported the funds were transferred to the family through a branch of the Arab Bank, in El-Bireh, near Ramallah. The bank is known to be the preferred channel of the PA and terrorist groups for funneling money to the families of imprisoned and dead terrorists and to terrorist operatives themselves. |

| #10 VAMark, true, but one by one or few at the time, they are being removed. I think that with Arafish gone, the reordering of pecking order would ensue on full throttle. Removal from the gene pool would accelerate without much of an external pressure. |

| #9 And when Arafat finally goes, whatever the cause, the OT will still be full of the same death cult hardcores and their supporters/vassals. He's scum, but he's not the problem, and his departure won't solve a thing. |

| #8 B-A-Rama Absolutely right. As long as the paleos revere that greedy, corrupt, egocentric, lying, two-faced ugly old man, nothing will change. And there is nothing that will happen to change how paleos feel about him. They deserve what they've brought on themselves. |

| #7 These documents don't mean a damn thing. As long as Arafart is treated as if he's "needed", then he could be proven to have eaten babies for lunch and nothing will happen to the guy; he'll still be the Palestinians' so-called "leader". |

| #6 Somebody should have used Arafats mufti wound mellon for major target practive a long long long time ago. Let's see 168 grain boat tail at 400 yards... up 2 clicks... |

| #5 Howard, that's "allan", not "Allan". It's a matter of respect. Yasser and the Iranian nuke facilities can go at the same time -- that way the press won't have to spend as much time on the Arab street. What the heck, do it late on November 2 just for fun. |

| #4 Yasser's up there with Keith Richards, Hunter S Thompson and Fidel in the unexpected longevity stakes. Can't be long before he pays Allan a natural visit? Wouldn't want him to earn the raisin treatment and vilify Israel further would we? Okay mebbe we would. |

| #3 That's enough to pull the trigger. |

| #2 Erekat: "The Israeli government destroyed the PLO, they have been putting Arafat under siege, and now they want to kill him." All three excellent ideas. |

| #1 In response, Arafat deputy and chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told WorldNetDaily Sharon’s comments are really intended to prepare the public for the killing of the PLO leader. Hey, these guys aren't so stupid afterall. Even they can see the writing on the wall! |
