Arafat makes arrest in bombing: the reporter who linked it to Arafat's Fatah

Israel Radio reported this morning that Yasser Arafat's security forces moved swiftly in the Gaza Strip, arresting the Al Jazira Gaza correspondent who forwarded an announcement by Yasser Arafat's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (the illegal military wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement) to his station taking credit for the Sunday Tel Aviv bombing that murdered 23.

While Yasser Arafat's PA condemned the attack, Yasser Arafat's militia took responsibility for the attack, identifying the two bombers as Nablus residents Burak Hilsa and Samar A-Nuri.

"The two martyrs managed to cross all the Zionist army roadblocks and reached the heart of Tel Aviv. One blew his pure body up at the old central bus station, and the other blew himself up in another nearby street," the message said.

The statement said that it was a double martyrdom operation that killed the highest number of "the Zionist occupiers on the land of Palestine."

The group vowed to continue suicide bombing attacks, adding that the attacks "would be a revenge for the massacres carried out by Sharon against our innocent people."

The correspondent was charged with acting against the interests of the Palestinians.

"The correspondent was charged with acting against the interests of the Palestinians."

You'd think they'd bust Arafat for violating that statute.

And the officials that run those TV commercials encouraging children to be homicide bombers. If they actually enforced that "law", most of the population would be locked up.

LOL! The Euro-swine will find an excuse for this, though. They always do.
