A Palestinian from the Gaza Strip who works for the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, has been arrested for allegedly plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed Thursday.
Mazab Bashir, 25, from Deir el-Balah began working with Doctors Without Borders five years ago.
On April 19, he confessed during a Shin Bet interrogation that for months, he had been collecting intelligence on senior Israeli officials, including Olmert and a number of Knesset members.
Bashir met with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in September 2006, and said that the killing was meant to avenge the deaths of Palestinian civilians. He said that he collected information on the Internet to use to target MKs, but then realized that the MKs in question did not live in Jerusalem, the only Israeli city to which his permit granted him access.
Bashir also underwent arms training with the PFLP, and was picked to carry out the planned assassination.
According to the officials, after the doctor realized that the security surrounding Olmert was impenetrable, he began planning the assassination of other Israeli officials, including the head of the Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem.
While the decision to target an archeologist may appear strange, the IAA recently found itself in the midst of a bitter struggle over excavations at the Mughrabi Bridge, near the Temple Mount compound.

Dr. Bashir should be discharged from Starfleet and executed for this flagrant violation of the Prime Directive.
Doctors Without Borders needs to be kept out of Israel and very closely monitored in Gaza or wherever else they may be operating along Israeli borders.
They’re a leftist front so that goes for anywhere they are active.
Terrorists Without Borders.
Bttt for your remarks. I could comment further, but I'd be thrown off Free Republic.

A Palestinian from the Gaza Strip who works for the humanitarian
organization Doctors Without Borders has been arrested for allegedly
plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, the Shin Bet (Israel
Security Agency) revealed Thursday.
Mazab Bashir, 25, from Deir el-Balah began working with Doctors Without
Borders five years ago.
On April 19, he confessed during a Shin Bet interrogation that for months,
he had been collecting intelligence on senior Israeli officials - including
Olmert and a number of Knesset members.
Bashir met with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in
September 2006, and said that the assassination was meant to avenge the
deaths of Palestinian civilians.
Bashir also underwent arms training with the PFLP, and was picked to carry
out the planned assassination.
He told the Shin Bet that he had collected information on the Internet to
use to target MKs, but then realized that the MKs in question did not live
in Jerusalem, the only Israeli city to which his permit granted him access.
According to the officials, after the doctor realized that the security
surrounding Olmert was impenetrable, Bashir decided in December 2006 to kill
David Be’eri, head of the Elad organization, a group involved in purchasing
Arab homes in Jerusalem’s Old City.
That same month, he underwent combat training in the Gaza Strip in order to
learn to kill without using weapons.
In January 2007, Bashir again entered Israel again on behalf of Doctors
Without Borders, and began collecting information on Be’eri. He made
additional trips to Jerusalem in February and March, and on April 18. He was
arrested on April 19.
During his interrogation, Bashir said he had planned to return to Gaza to
complete his combat training and learn, among other things, how to break
necks. He said he intended to use his skills to kill Be’eri.
Elad has increased Be’eri’s security following the threats to his life.
Bashir was indicted Thursday in the Jerusalem District Court.
Duncan Mclean, head of ‘Doctors Without Borders’ in the region, told Israel
Radio, “I don’t think embarrassed would be the right word. We are very sad
for Bashir who has been working for us for almost six years. But we would
like to make it very clear that we make a distinction between his
professional work and what he does on his personal time in the sense that
all our staff is hired for professional reasons and I don’t think our
organization can be held liable for every aspect of their life.”
According to Mclean, all of the organization’s staff members undergo an IDF
security check
Agreed.
I am surprised they are not cheering for Olmert, since the bulk of the Israel public wants him - out!
