\"There is no better example of the cynical attitude of the Palestinian Authority,\" and of Arafat himself, to acts of terror than their handling of the Dolphinarium suicide slaughter that claimed 21 young lives. So wrote military correspondent Ze\'ev Schiff in Ha\'aretz this past Friday. He recounted that Israel\'s General Security Services quickly found out the names of two people who had dispatched the bomber, and although they presented their names to Palestinian security leaders and requested that they be arrested, this did not happen. Instead, the two were summoned for a conversation with PA security agents, admitted their involvement in the massacre, signed their consent not to carry out similar activities in the future - and were sent home! This, despite the Tenet agreement stipulation that the PA arrest those responsible for terrorism.
Voice of Israel Radio reported today in the name of German media sources that Arafat had written a letter of congratulations to the family of the Dolphinarium suicide bomber. Arafat reportedly wrote that the killer\'s self-sacrifice is worthy of admiration.
