Israel presents document linking PA to terror attacks

By Jonathan Lis and Amira Hass, Ha'aretz Correspondents

The IDF presented a document Tuesday that was seized in the during a raid on the Ramallah office of Fuad Shubeiki, who heads the Palestinian Authority's financial apparatus. The document, which was sent to Shubeiki by the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, which is linked to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction, lists the organization's demands from the PA for suicide bombings that had already been carried out.

The document lists financial demands for ceremonies honoring suicide bombers as well as money to support families of the suicide bombers.

The fifth article of the document lists demands for producing explosive devices: "The cost of supplying electronic and chemical components for explosive devices and bombs - this was our largest expense. The cost of preparing a bomb is at least NIS 700. We need to equip five to nine bombs each week for our cells in various locations. NIS 5000 times four weeks equals NIS 20,000."

Article seven of the document details the "cost of 3,000 bullets for Kalachnikov rifles at a cost of NIS 7.5 per bullet, and 30,000 bullets for M-16 rifles at a cost of NIS 2 per bullet. We need the immediate transfer of funds so as to make the purchase - NIS 22,500 for Kalachnikov bullets and NIS 60,000 for M-16 bullets."

Alongside the document were comments and calculations carried out by Shubeiki's office.

Colonel Miri Eisen, a senior intelligence officer who presented the document, said that she did not have information on whether the transfer of funds was carried out, although since the letter was sent, several days after September 11, 2001, eight members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade had carried out suicide bombings in Israel.

Eisen estimated Tuesday that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat never signed documents tying him to the terrorist activities of various organizations, but that Shubeiki's signature, who is part of Arafat's inner circle, testifies to the PA's involvement in acts of terror.

Shubeiki was the individual who financed the purchase of the Karine A weapons ship from Iran in December 2001.

Dore Gold, an advisor to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said Tuesday, that Shubeiki had visited Baghdad in August 2001 so as to coordinate positions with the Iraqi government, and that in May 2001 he was present at a meeting in Moscow during which the draft for joint activities between Iran and the PA was agreed upon.

Also seized in Shubeiki's office during the raid were hundreds of thousands of counterfeit shekels, which according to military estimates, were to be used to purchase explosives.

The Palestinian Authority stated that the counterfeit money seize in Arafat's Ramallah headquarters had been seized by Palestinian preventative security forces and belonged to Palestinian criminals that had collaborated with Israeli felons.

1.Legislation eroding the bill of rights. (Patriot Act)

And just what is your suggestion to protect citizens from imminent attack without finding ways to wiretap, check records? Come on - it is your responsibility to protect all Americans - now don't wiretap, don't look at any private records, don't search people, etc., etc. How are you going to do it? Please don't say - I would find some way. We were surprised 9/11 and who knew what other cells were making their moves for the next strike. Think, think, think.

2.Legislation increasing the federal hold on various powers normally delegated to the states. (Homeland Defense)

Homeland Defense suggests to the states - they don't have to follow the directives. Homeland Defense does not even have budgetary power, does not have a cabinet position.

3.Incumbant control of elections. (CFR)

Bush set out his goals for CFR - they were not followed. If he had vetoed, this would have been the hammer the Democrats used to say "See, Bush is against election reform because his cronies were so successul in getting him elected. He warned them that he would sign what they sent. The Congress is responsible for this mess - not Bush. Talk to your senators.

The decision was made to go with this version of campaign finance. They had the clause in place that parts could be thrown out if unconstitutional and the remainder stands. If CFR not done now would come back again and maybe pass under a more liberal supreme court. You may not agree but, hey, who can get 100% approval rating?

4. Increased ability to track the daily activites of individual citizens. (Cameras, smart card IDs, assorted biometric IDs and assorted tracking devices using GPS--all deemed necessary by a frightened public to track terrorists).

Yes, it is deemed necessary by a frightened public to track terrorists. Bush's number one job is to protect America. I have yet to see any great ways to find these terrorists without the ability to get information.

5.Decreases in soveriegnty brought about by insisting on working within the framework of the UN and trying to mold Canada/US/Mexico into one seemless entity.

I think this has nothing to do with the UN - this is for trade and to provide a stronger base of support for North America.

6.Spreading our own armed forces so thin that we'll have to rely on UN troops one of these days to help with the terrorists at home (Obviously that hasn't happened yet, but we're on the way.)

I see, looks like you want no efforts to fight the terrorists - why? Since when has the U.N. ever done anything to help us? (Except the surveillance flights right after the attack.)

7.Insuring a supply of oil by placating the muslim oil kingdoms with whatever they want--and maybe picking up some lucrative contracts for American companies and the Carlyle group along the way. (Securing oil for the country is certainly a valuable national security effort--but not when it comes to allowing the Islamics to work toward annihilation of Israel and conquest of the US.)

This is a direct result of our situation as dependent on Mideast Oil. Denying that fact of life does not make a man presidential material. You might contact Daschle and suggest he quit sitting on the ANWR drilling so that we can have some protection from the Mideast power hold on us. Your statement on contracts and the Carlyle group claim is merely trying to cast aspersions on Bush and is a bunch of unprovable slander.

8. To put it in a nutshell, there's a very good chance he's using all this to advance his daddy's dream of a NWO dominated by a one-world government.

Please explain to me how telling the UN that the U.S. will control how the American foreign aid money is spent and it will be given only to citizen elected government run countries in any way promote a NWO? We no longer will give our money for the U.N. to supply aid to those countries that hate us. Sounds like protecting the U.S. to me.

How does being willing to go-it-alone in the war in spite of advice to the contrary from the U.N. help in a NWO?

How does refusing to go along with the Kyoto treaty with the other countries help?

Again, you tend to ignore an awful lot of the Bush agenda to further your theories.
