| Report: Arafat orders arrest of top Jihad Islamic leaders |
| 2003-10-06 |
| Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was reported Monday to have ordered the detention of the top leaders of the Islamic Jihad in Gaza City. Lebanon’s Al Mustaqbal newspaper quoted Palestinian sources as saying Sheikh Abdullah Al Shami and Mohammed Al Hindi were among the leaders Arafat ordered the Palestinian police to arrest. I’ll believe it when I see it, but just having the rumor on the street should be good for laughs. The newspaper added that the order came one day after the suicide bombing attack, which was carried out by the Islamic Jihad in a Haifa restaurant and killed 19 people. "Hey, everytime you guys boom some Jews, I get the blame!" |

| #6 Arafish is worried that he might be killed. So what action should you take? Bring in the IJ leaders ( Notice no Hamas leaders ) in order to attract their gun-weilding followers. Arafish just wants more gaurds around himself. |

| #5 I keep thinking that the the raid on Syria is related to this: http://www.rantburg.com/poparticle.asp?D=10/1/03&ID=19334 than to the Haifa bombing. We have not seen the end of this cycle yet. |

| #4 Was is this even news? Arafat only 'arrests' these leaders, but lets them continue to plan activities. badanov has the right idea, one shot. I have to ask the question WHY has it taken this long? |

| #3 "Detention" by Ueber-Terrorist Arafat would amount to an attempt to protect them from the IDF. I reckon Arafat has about 24h left in his rathole, no matter what he tries to do. Wrt yesterday's intervention in Syria, I haven't seen any comments about how seemingly casually the Israeli air force can fly into Syria, bomb a target of their choice, and return home... I guess THAT must be rather worrying to sundry Arab dictators and terrorist leaders, wherever they might "hide." |
