| PLO official Farouq Kaddoumi ousted from Jordan |
| 2009-07-20 |
| According to Israeli Radio the Jordanian authorities officially "advised" senior Palestinian Liberation Organization official Farouq Kaddoumi to leave Jordan after his recent statements that former PA President Yasser Arafat had been poisoned. The broadcasting of Kaddoumi's statements, that top Fatah officials, among them Mahmoud Abbas and Mohammad Dahlan, conspired with Israeli and US officials to kill Arafat, had infuriated the Palestinian Authority to the point that it closed down Al Jazeera's offices in the West Bank for four days. Farouq Kaddoumi is said to have left Jordan for Syria today. Meanwhile the Executive Committee of the Palestinian Liberation Organization decided to call for a meeting for the Central Council to make a decision against Kaddoumi. |
