[Torie]

Sorry, on closer read, maybe you do think Fatah was involved directly. But no proof has been adduced, and it would make no sense of it to be, since Arafat will either cease to be relevant or be killed over this. Thus I stand by my comments. The article was sloppily written.

The Fatah-affiliated group, the Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades have been involved in much of the terror as has the Tanzim.

Neither is offically affiliated with Hamas or Islamic Jihad, they are PLO: Arafat's own.
