Interview: Palestine Media Center on Palestinian death threats to the AP Aaron Lerner Date: 13 September 2001 IMRA interviewed Mohamed Aghawani of the Palestinian Authority's Palestine Media Center, in English, on 13 September, 2001. IMRA: When is the Palestinian Authority going reassure the Associated Press that Fatah Tanzim won't murder people on the AP staff if they release the footage of Palestinians celebrating the attacks against the USA? Aghawani: Are you sure that the Tanzim said explicitly that they would murder anyone? IMRA: Let's put it this way, Ahmed Abdel Rahman, Arafat's Cabinet secretary, told the AP that the Palestinian Authority "cannot guarantee the life" of the cameraman if the footage was broadcast. If I tell you that I cannot guaranty your life if you do something then what does that mean? Aghawani: That's right. I understand the situation. The problem is that until now, as far as I know, the President's Office and the Ministry of Information are going to deal with the problem. And as far as I know this problem is going to be solved for the benefit of the journalists. That is what I am expecting. And I am sure that there will be nothing of what you just said. We are expecting to receive information from the Minister or the President's Office. -------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
