| PA adds ’confiscated’ Qassam rockets to armory |
| 2003-08-15 |
| JPost - Reg Req’d Israel Radio Territories Correspondent Avi Yissakharov reported on the noon news program that Palestinian security sources claim that have confiscated ten Qassam missiles as well as mortars in the Gaza Strip. "Since the Palestinians have made no indication that they plan to follow the Roadmap and transfer the weapons to a third party (e.g. America) for removal, it would appear that if the Palestinian report is correct that they have come up with a novel way to arm their security forces with weapons systems that are beyond those permitted in the Oslo agreements," Dr. Aaron Lerner, Director IMRA (Independent Media Review) told The Jerusalem Post. While Yissakharov reported the Palestinian claimed they were carrying out a weapons collection program in the Gaza Strip, another Israel Radio correspondent said he checked with his sources in Hamas and Islamic Jihad and they all told him no such weapons collection was underway. |

| #2 Pals now claim theyve caught several million dollars in funds headed to Islamic Jihad. IJ's response: "Money, what money? we dont know about any money" Israel: "it came from Iran, and this dont mean nothing, why dont you stop the Saudi money going to Hamas?" BBC then reports that Israel has now agreed to withdraw from 4 West bank towns, as Pals requested, despite previous statements that Israel would take no further actions until PA began to dismantle terrorist orgs. SOMETHING is going on, not quite clear what. |

| #1 While Yissakharov reported the Palestinian claimed they were carrying out a weapons collection program in the Gaza Strip, another Israel Radio correspondent said he checked with his sources in Hamas and Islamic Jihad and they all told him no such weapons collection was underway. In other words, nobody is quite sure what exactly is going on, and more time will be needed to sort all this crap out. :) |
