WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Arafat 'loses' $50 million payroll Funds diverted to terror campaign, EU makes up difference ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Posted: February 26, 2002 4:20 p.m. Eastern Editor's note: DEBKAfile's electronic news publication is a news-cum-analysis live wire, online round the clock seven days a week. A weekly edition,DEBKA-Net-Weekly, is now available through WorldNetDaily.com. Drawing on DEBKAfile's unique sources, analytical talents and forward-looking insights, it is presented as a compact, intelligence-angled weekly package. It is available as a direct e-mail feed or via the Internet. © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com Palestinian Authority funds earmarked for salaries of civilian and security personnel were diverted to the latest round of terror attacks, according to the sources of DEBKA-Net-Weekly. Just over three weeks ago, PA paymasters, about to hand out January wage packets to civilian and security personnel, found a $50 million shortfall. Officials were instructed to take up the matter with Yasser Arafat, but, according to DEBKA, no one bothered. They all knew where the money had gone – the Fatah-Tanzim terror cycle, already referred to by insiders as The Palestinian Tet Offensive. It is named for the 1968 North Vietnamese offensive against the American Army and South Vietnam, the most brutal campaign of the war, which sowed the seeds for America's eventual rout and retreat. The Palestinians have taken to borrowing terms from other world conflicts. The Jenin refugee location, for instance, has been dubbed "Kandahar Camp." Arafat called Javier Solana, the European foreign affairs executive, for a quick bailout and quickly received $30 million. When Solana arrived in the region yesterday, some of his Israeli contacts filled him in on the destination of the missing payroll funds. They indicated that if the episode came out, the European Union could hardly avoid being accused of using European tax revenues to fund Palestinian terror. According to DEBKA sources, Solana called on Arafat in his Ramallah office, demanding that the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades – a wing of Arafat's Fatah – be disbanded forthwith. He did not go so far as to mention the Fatah-Tanzim militia. Today, Solana was back in Arafat's office, DEBKA reports. The Palestinian leader complained bitterly about Israeli Justice Minister Meir Sheetreet, who told an early morning Hebrew radio broadcast that if things carried on this way, he could not rule out Israel's military reoccupation of Palestinian cities. Solana agreed gloomily that this prospect was a possibility. Arafat asked Solana to inform the Americans that he would be sending Palestinian officers to attend the trilateral U.S.-Israel-Palestinian security commission, so that it could be convened tonight. This was a reversal of the boycott of the forum he ordered, two days earlier, after the Israeli security cabinet declined to release him from virtual house arrest in Ramallah. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
