Public Security Minister Uzi Landau accused the PLO on Monday of being a part of the \"Axis of Evil.\" US president George W. Bush used the same phrase during his State of the Union address before congress last week to describe the sponsorship of terrorism by Iraq, Iran, and North Korea.



According to a report by Reuters, Landau also said that the Egyptians were not doing their part in combating Islamic militants, including members of Osama Bin Laden\'s al-Qaeda network. Landau was speaking in Washington where he met with Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge to discuss terrorist threats in both Israel and the United States.
