Arafish embezzles from his own murder machine
2003-11-07
An investigative report by CBS television 60 Minutes will claim that Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat transfers $100,000 a month from funds directed to the Palestinian Authority to his wife Suha. The report, to be aired across the United States on Sunday, alleges that Suha Arafat, who lives in Paris with the couple’s daughter, receives the sum on a monthly basis. According to the report, Arafat has accumulated in his private accounts more than $800 million from aid originally appropriated to the Palestinian authority. PA Finance Minister Salam Fayad aided in the CBS investigation. Fayad is currently trying to track down all the PA-allocated money that never reached its intended destination.

#8  flash - AP

"During a late night meeting with top officials in Arafat's Fatah movement, the Palestinian leader and the prime minister agreed on the appointment of longtime Arafat confidant Hakam Bilawi as interior minister, a Fatah official said.

For weeks, Qureia had insisted on the appointment of Gen. Nasser Yousef as interior minister, but Arafat blocked that choice. He also pushed out Qureia's predecessor, Mahmoud Abbas, over the same issue. "

Damn it.

#7  It seems that the Arafish is vulnerable, so it's dogpile on Arafish. Wait, that does not sound right, but the principle is.

#6  just to point out, no one's assasinated a senior Fatah or PA official, at least since Oslo, AFAIK. If Arafat has Fayed killed its hit the mattress time. Fayed may be calling Arafat's bluff - and thus asserting in public Arafats weakness. A very dangerous game, I would think.

But of a piece with Qurei refusing to form a new cabinet without Yussuf (the guy Arafat spit at) as Interior Min. And Fayed putting the donor conference in danger. And Sharon suddenly turning mister softie, removing roadblocks, letting Pals into Israel to work, reaching out to Qurei.

No proof. But a growing suspicion this is all thought out (hopefully more carefully than during Abbas-Arafat struggle)

#5  Salam? I’d let someone else start your car in the mornings

Yep, it's about time for Fayad to keep an eye open for members of the "Collaboration Solutions Group".

I have no doubt thats already been thought of, and quite seriously. See my comment on the other thread.
