| Yasser sez they've nabbed 14 with boomer links |
| 2002-05-08 |
| Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's security forces have arrested some 14 people suspected of links to Tuesday night's suicide bombing in Rishon Letzion, the European Union's envoy Middle East envoy, Miguel Angel Moratinos said Wednesday. Bet those fry are pretty small... "[Arafat] said that he has arrested 14 Palestinians in Gaza, and that his security services will continue their investigation in order to arrest all those involved" in the attack, said Moratinos after meeting with Arafat in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Oooh. In Gaza, is it? Well, maybe nobody should invade there for awhile... Moratinos indicated that hoped that Israel’s response to the attack would not further inflame the situation in the region. Killing Sheikh Yassin would probably do that. Then again, it might do something to stop the boomers, too... An adviser to Arafat, Mamduh Nupal, said that in his opinion "Arafat and the PA are preparing to take every possible step in order to lessen the expected [Israeli military] response." Bet they are. They don't want Gaza thumped, even though it's Hamas country. |
