Yasser allies with Axis of Evil
2002-03-24
  • Palestinian President-for-Life Yasser Arafat has forged an alliance that involves Iranian shipments of heavy weapons and money to Palestinian groups involved in action against Israel, The New York Times reported. "The partnership, officials said, was arranged in a clandestine meeting in Moscow last May between two top aides to Mr. Arafat and Iranian government officials. The meeting took place while Mr. Arafat was visiting President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, according to senior Israeli security officials," the Times reported.

    Arafat's reported alliance with Iran causes concern in Tel Aviv because "it gives the Palestinians a powerful and well-armed patron in the increasingly violent conflict with Israel," the newspaper said. In a Sept. 11 connection, American officials were troubled by intelligence reports "that Iran is harboring al Qaeda members, including one leader who recently tried to mount an attack against Israel from his sanctuary in Iran," according to the Times.
    But... But... I don't understand! Yasser said he was against terrorism!
