RAMALLAH [MENL] -- The United States has determined that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat approved an attack on a U.S. embassy convoy in which three Americans were killed in 2003. U.S. diplomatic sources said a U.S. investigation into the bombing of the embassy convoy in the Gaza Strip in October 2003 pointed to a clear role by Arafat.

The sources said Arafat granted approval to a plan to strike U.S. interests in PA areas. Arafat, the sources said, did not draft or approve any details for a Palestinian attack. But they said Arafat agreed to a proposal relayed by a high-level aide for the Palestinians to "pass a message" to the United States.

According to the sources, a senior Arafat aide and member of the Fatah Central Committee left Gaza City for Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah in September 2003 to seek approval for a Palestinian attack on U.S. interests in the area. The Fatah official, described as a liasion between Arafat and Palestinian insurgents in the Gaza Strip, complained of U.S. policy toward the PA and Arabs.

[yonif]

Ping.

[AgThorn]

And we wonder why we are a target of attack for terrorists. And we 'pay' tax dollars to Arafat's PLA? Makes me sick.

[oyez]

How reliable is AMRA?

[TheConservator]

Your lower headline notwithstanding, I think Arafat's days on this earth are numbered, and very rapidly running out.

Arafat

The perp with the most visits to the *Crinton White House. And at one point, *Crinton actually made him WAIT until Moanica was finished.

The *Crinton foreign policy...

[CindyDawg]

If true I just have two words. "Get him!"

[yonif]

This is nothing but just a little evidence. There is way more evidence that is 100%, whereas Arafat and his regime harbor terror groups which have murdered over 40 Americans in the last few years.

[Lijahsbubbe]

What fun it must be for Arafat to be treated like a dignitary and a king by the US as he plans suicide bombings and kills Israelis and Americans.

But this is big news. Bet he's really shakin' now. Now we really, really, REALLY know he's dirty. Maybe we'll send him to Iran.

"White House spokesman says the U.S. remains opposed to exiling or killing PA Chairman Arafat."

Do you suppose this statment is going to keep Israel from offing that terrorist?

[yonif]

America should be calling for his arrest or death if it recognized him as a terrorist, as he has murdered Americans.

BTW awsome tag line.

>>...Arafat agreed to a proposal ...to "pass a message" to the United States....<<

Perhaps it's time to "pass a message" to Mr. Arafat.

[Stonewall Jackson]

What type of message should this be? A 500lb care package or a .308 love letter?

Shucks, why not both?

[CindyDawg]

I kind of like the helicopter hello

[paul51]

Ample justification for killing him and absolutely no justification for not doing so. If we are not going to stand up to these savages and kill them where we find them we may as well fold up our tents and go home and wait for them to come and get us.

[txhurl]

Actually, he looks a bit healthier, now that he appears to have kicked his IV meth habit.

[GeronL]

So we refuse to respond to the murder of 3 Americans??

[Armedanddangerous]

What is IMRA, and from where do they hail? Are they an Israeli based news agency? This doesnt make them wrong, but if we end up waging war on Ringo, we have to be sure...don't we?

[CindyDawg]

yeah, I guess we better. shame though
