PA transfers rocket materials to Israel |
2007-09-27 |
The Palestinian Authority has transferred two metal pipes Palestinian news agency Ma'an said that the "rockets" were 1.5 meters long. IDF Central Command sources said that it was possible that Kassam rockets were being manufactured in the West Bank and particularly in Bethlehem, the base of a Tanzim terror cell that had fired mortar shells at the neighborhood of Gilo in recent years. Palestinian intelligence head Tawfiq Tarawi said the so-called rockets were still in the early stage of production and had not yet been fitted with explosives. Tarawi would not say whether any arrests had been made. He also declined to say who built them, but said the weapons resembled the rockets developed by Hamas and other terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip. "This is not the first time. Two months ago, we found similar rockets and we destroyed them," he said. "This is unacceptable. We will not allow anyone to use such missiles because he will be destroying the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian towns," he added, referring to the likely Israeli military response a rocket attack would bring. |

Mercy me! It is almost like they are catching on. You know, that business about a state is responsible for what takes place inside its borders. |

#1 Odd. As if they got a glimpse of the cause and effect thingy. Or it may be just a token of PA plausible deniability if kassams start to fly. |
