DEBKAfile’s military and Palestinian sources report that the third session of the trilateral security coordination that the US envoy chaired Tuesday evening ended in the same stalemate as the previous two. Zinni as usual handed Arafat a list of demands and Arafat with the same clockwork regularity turned them down.
Have any of you seen where Arafat was at that meeting? I thought he was meeting with the head of the EU, Solana.
And as an aside, this Debka snippet gave me a laugh:
Osama bin Laden has packed his entire family out of Afghanistan - wives, sons and daughters - and their wives, husbands and offspring. Roughly 10 days ago, DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources reveal, he transferred them to a prepared, well-guarded location in West Pakistan
I guess no one told Debka that East Pakistan became Bangladesh a few decades ago, so West Pakistan is now simply called Pakistan.
With the caveat that I have no opinion on Debka, they could be referencing the laws of agency. As long as Arafat is in charge others are simply acting as his agents.
I never heard of the country of West Pakistan. Could they we referring West(ern) Pakistan? Is English their native language?
