The CIA has a secret recording of Muhammad Dahlan giving the orders to bomb an Israeli school bus. The recorded telephone conversation features the Palestinian Security Chief in Gaza ordering the bombing of the Kfar Darom school bus on November 20 of last year. Two adults were killed in that attack, and several children were wounded - including the three Cohen siblings, each of whom lost part of a leg.



The American intelligence organization has other recordings of Dahlan\'s deputy Rashid Abu Shabak giving the orders for other terrorist attacks. Arutz-7 correspondent Haggai Huberman, who broke the story in the HaTzofeh newspaper on Friday, reports that the Americans chose not to keep the information to themselves but rather to share it with Israel.



Based on the CIA tapes and other information, the IDF has submitted a report to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in which the terrorist attacks ordered by Dahlan and Abu Shabak are detailed. Abu Shabak, responding to the news of the tapes, said that he is not afraid of Israel\'s \"long arm.\" Several leading terrorist have been killed in pinpoint attacks by Israeli forces, most recently leading Islamic Jihad terrorist Iyad Hardan; he was killed ten days ago by an explosion at a public phone in Jenin.



Dahlan was quoted this morning as saying that Israel had \"killed the security cooperation\" between the sides.
