GAZA, April 27 (UPI) -- Israeli army bulldozers Saturday destroyed cars that belong to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's convoy, official Palestinian sources at Arafat's office in Ramallah reported.
The sources said the bulldozers powered into Arafat's compound and destroyed seven presidential armored Mercedes.
Witnesses in Arafat's office said the bulldozers also flattened the presidential guards' vans and Cherokee jeeps.
Meanwhile, Palestinian National Authority Minister of Information Yasser Abed Rabbo lashed out at the military for directing loudspeakers at Arafat's main office, describing the measure as "provocative and criminal Israeli army action."
He said such measures "proves that Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon had failed to get rid of President Arafat," and was unable break "his determination to continue his struggle for the Palestinian independent state."
Palestinian witnesses said the Israeli army sent more troop reinforcements and armored vehicles into the Ramallah, renewing Palestinian fears the Israeli army plans to reoccupy the West Bank town.
Residents said they are also afraid the army is
planning to raid Arafat's headquarters, arrest the militants in his office and bring Arafat to Gaza.

Proof ... that's proof?
That's not good enough. Tell ya what -- I need some more convincing, Sharon.
To: Okiegolddust
No. I think Arafat would send some 16 year old girl wearing a C4 tutu to blow up buses full of women and children. I think the Israelis are more likely to properly accuse him of doing that.

High fives at the Sierra Club tonight. I mean these polluting monsters got, what, 9 miles per gallon?
To: Okiegolddust
Not sure why you are upset about this, but I stand by the IDF.
To: Alouette
Can we import Israeli meter maids to address the problem of "illegal parking" in NYC of foreign diplomats in the same exact manner?
To: FresnoDA
What a waste of spare parts. They should have towed this crap to a chop shop and sold it off like junk yards do.
To: FresnoDA
Thanks for giving me a good life.
I guess the Israeli's don't mess around with the 'Denver Boot'.
To: F16Fighter
LOL, and BUMP!!
