Israeli intelligence officials told CBS television’s newsmagazine 60 Minutes, that they can prove that Iraq and Iran are secretly financing and directing Palestinian acts of terrorism against Israel. The proof, they say, was found in official Palestinian Authority documents seized from Yasser Arafat’s Ramallah compound during Operation Defensive Shield. 60 Minutes ran a segment on Israel’s findings during the show’s season premiere last night.
It was just last week that security officials revealed that they apprehended members of a PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) terror cell who admitted to having been trained in Iraq. It is believed that the group was planning an attack on Ben-Gurion Airport. Recently, other captured terrorists claimed their training took place in Iran.
According to CBS, Israeli officials have learned that PA associates are earning extra cash by illegally selling smuggled Iraqi oil. The money, Israel says, is being used to buy weapons to be used in terror attacks on Israelis. They believe that it is Iran that is supplying those weapons.
