It was revealed in a military court today that Fatah was on the verge of carrying out a plan to assassinate Israeli diplomats in several foreign countries. The revelation comes on the heels of a report yesterday that Hamas terrorists planned to assassinate Knesset Member David Levy. In both cases, the arrest of the conspirators prevented the attacks.
In a plea bargain, the IDF Salim Military Court sentenced a Fatah Al-Aqsa Brigade terrorist to 18 years in prison for planning to assassinate Israel's ambassadors to Germany and China. The terrorist also admitted planning to poison water supplies and to blow up gas installations and a hotel in Israel.
The terrorist, Alam Khader Koka from the Jenin area, was arrested by security forces several months ago, which foiled the terrorist's plans. However, he was well on his way towards carrying out the attacks.
When Alam Khader was arrested, based on intelligence information, he was found to be in possession of false identification papers and a plane ticket to China. One phony ID would have allowed him to enter pre-1967 Israel, and another would have gained him access to Israeli water supply stations. In addition, Alam Khader had already transferred explosives to other terrorists for placement at an Israeli gas installation.
