A plane has arrived in Greece carrying nine of the 12 Palestinian militants being flown to European countries under an agreement that ended the siege at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity. Two of the men will remain in Greece and the other seven will go on to Spain, Italy, the Republic of Ireland, Portugal and Belgium. One will remain in Cyprus. None of the men will be allowed to leave the countries once they enter. A second, smaller jet was due to arrive in Italy carrying the three other Palestinians.
This will give them a nice rest from the stresses of recruiting exploders, assassinating people, and beating up their neighbors. By the time they sneak back into Palestinian territory, a couple months from now, they'll be tanned and rested and rarin' to go. |
