I ask for a SOURCE and you site some Indy website out of Canada? I guess its one strand of credability at not being anti-Israel is that at least its not French. And their entire basis for these claims comes from quotes of Jordanians and the PLO?

This "SOURCE" doesn't go far enough, I wonder what Hammas had to say about this conspiracy, as well as quotes from Hezbola and Islamic Jihad, and while they are at it-who they thought caused the recent drought and power outtages in Moooslim lands. They could settle it for us whether or not it was the Mossad was behind this devilry.

Your handle, ravingnutter, is more appropriate that you grasp.

Take a chill pill! I merely did a google search to see what would come up...the info is out there, just as they said it was. I never said it was credible, in fact, I prefaced my comments with "hmmmmmm...".

Finally, the source cited most often, according to my search, is British journalist Patrick Seale, a supposedly acknowledged authority on the Middle East, who devoted an entire book, entitled "Abu Nidal: A Gun for Hire", outlining and documenting his thesis that Nidal was largely a surrogate for the Mossad all along.

Whether or not that is true, I have no idea. But your contention that this claim is only made by Jordanians or the PLO is wrong, according the articles I just read on this, which claim that Nidal's actions seemed to benefit Israel more than they hurt them. Here are a couple more articles from my search that I opened and skimmed for info:

American Free Press

Guardian Unlimited

Found another interesting 2002 article in that search that states that Nidal "was working for the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, for the last four years and was plotting a coup against Iraqi president Saddam Hussain at the behest of Western powers" citing "top diplomats" and "security experts", although they are not quoted by name.

Like I said...whether this is true or not I have no idea, but the info is out there.
