| Hits 0.000000001 on sympathy meterupdate - 11:33 26/04/2006 $450,000 said stolen from PA foreign minister during visit to Kuwait By Haaretz Service Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar has had $450,000 stolen from his hotel room during his current visit to Kuwait, the Itim news agency quoted the Kuwaiti media as saying Wednesday... al-Zahar had asked the Kuwaiti authorities to keep the theft under wraps, but the incident was confirmed by a security official at the hotel. The foreign minister, a senior member of Hamas, is on a tour of Arab and Muslim countries to drum up funds after Israel suspended the transfer of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority and Western donors cut off aid to the Hamas-led government.... the Palestinian Finance Ministry has revealed that, despite its empty coffers, the PA has funded the trip for al-Zahar and his entourage |

| #19 'Sounds a lot like "The dog ate my homework". 'Guess we better home that Iran never gives nukes to the PA - "Oh, gee, where did I leave that 10 kiloton fission weapon??????" My bet is that someone on Israel's payroll did manage to scarf the money up. Good on 'em. Use it to build a higher wall around Gaza. |

| #9 You should have used American Express travelersÂ’ checks. If they are lost or STOLEN you can have them replaced in 24-hours. Anyone want to bet that there is 450k missing from the Paleo coffers? Is this guy part Algerian? I think they invented this scam. |

| #8 Claiming it was stolen is a great way to give terrorist funding plausible deniability. |

| #5 Must have been those thieving arabs...starting with Mahmoud al-Z. Any bets his current visit extends another 10 years while OJ helps him search for the cash? |

| #3 Sure it was "stolen". Now was that Zahar's PA "dinner and hotel" money that was stolen? Or Kuwait's "donation" to Hamas that was stolen? Kept it under his pillow did he? |
