| [Ynet] Joint effort by security service, IDF, and police has uncovered cell working towards renewal of activity in the West Bank, partly financed by gold smuggled from Jordan. The Shin Bet security service has, with the help of the IDF and Israel Police, uncovered over the last few months a large Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, cell active in the city of Nablus and surrounding towns. The news was cleared for publication on Wednesday. The cell's leaders were working to renew Hamas activity in the West Bank, including laying the foundation for terror attacks. The investigation also led to the discovery of a Hamas military cell that was preparing to launch attacks. Around 40 people were jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! , including senior Hamas members who have been placed in durance vile You have the right to remain silent... repeatedly. Questioning of the arrestees revealed that Hamas decided to renew its activities in the West Bank by creating a central headquarters in Nablus and expanding infrastructure, including the appointment of regional chiefs and allocating responsibilities in areas such as education, finance, communications, intelligence, gaining support, charity, transferring financial assistance to Hamas prisoners and their families, and laying the foundation for military action. The investigation revealed that Husam Badran, a 49-year-old native of Nablus who lives in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... , was responsible for organizing the command's members and staying in direct touch with them. Badran was apparently involved in decisions about recruitment for different roles and transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to the command center. The bully boyz concealed their activities by using couriers and PO boxes. Funds were transferred partially by purchasing gold from Jordan and smuggling it into the West Bank.
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... -based head of Hamas operations in the West Bank, sent messages to the operatives in Nablus via "email channels," the Shin Bet said, apparently referring to non-direct messages, and laundered the money into gold jewelry transported into the West Bank from Jordan. The Shin Bet and police said they found NIS four million (roughly one million dollars) in cash and gold during the arrests. | |
