EXCLUSIVE
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "THE US Government is furious with Ireland after a Palestinian terrorist sent here under an international accord skipped the country last year and turned up in Spain.
Jihad Jara, described as one of Israel's most wanted men, was granted safe haven in Ireland under an international agreement to end the siege at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002.
The Palestinian terrorist was supposed to be monitored by gardai while here but he managed to leave Ireland and travel to Spain for several weeks last year, the Sunday Independent can reveal.
Jara was picked up by Spanish authorities and forcibly returned to Ireland. Garda sources believe Jara was in Spain for less than a month, and say they have no evidence to suggest he was involved in terrorist activity.
However, US officials, including the CIA, are suspicious as to what he was doing in Spain.
The fact that the high-profile terrorist managed to leave Ireland in the first place will fuel international alarm. It may also prove deeply embarrassing to the Government and to security services here when an account of the story is broadcast on a major US television network - possibly next month."

Christian Areas Attacked, 200 Homes Destroyed
(BosNewsLife) - A human rights investigation continued Friday, July 1, into an outbreak of violence in several Christian areas of Pakistan where hundreds of homes have reportedly been destroyed by Islamic militants.
The Voice Of the Martyrs (VOM) USA told BosNewsLife the attacks happened this week in three areas around the city of Peshawar, about 172 km (107 miles) west of the capital Islamabad.
Troubles began late Tuesday, June 28, just hours after an illiterate Christian man in his 60's allegedly burned pages with Koranic verses written on them.
The organization claimed the burning incident happened when Yousaf Masih, who worked for almost two decades as a sweeper for the Pakistani military, came across a bag of "rough papers" at the office at a major's home.

"Assassination attempt?"
"Irish newspaper says Israel attempted to assassinate expelled Palestinian terrorist who resides in Dublin; Israel denies accusations"
By Ynetnews
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Irish intelligence authorities tracked down two Israeli intelligence (Mossad) agents who were apparently attempting to enter Ireland to assist in the assassination of a senior Palestinian terrorist, Irish newspaper Evening Herald reported.
According to the report, Irish intelligence authorities tracked down the agents in January as they were gathering intelligence for an operation that was supposed to culminate with the Palestinian militant’s death.
The Palestinian militant, Jihad Jaara, was a senior member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror organization until he was expelled to Europe, along with 12 of his counterparts, following a standoff with IDF troops at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002."
