We didn't exactly go after just terrorist. Anyone who hid them or had sided
with them were our enemies and we bombed them back to the stone age. It was
in all the papers.
Anyway-Yassar, their leader is connected to the terrorist activity there and
if people hate you for your race they are a potential terrorist or at least
a sympathiser.
Just because you don't strap on a bomb doesn't mean you are not guilty in
haveing a part with the bombing.

Israel Says Documents Link Arafat, Terrorism
One Seized Item Called Invoice for Bomb Parts

JERUSALEM, April 2 -- Israel made public seized documents today that it
said directly link the office of the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat,
with terrorist attacks carried out against Israeli civilians and other
targets.

One of the documents, taken after Israeli troops stormed Arafat's compound
last Friday, was said to be an invoice submitted by a leading Palestinian
militant group to a Palestinian official described by Israel as Arafat's
main weapons buyer. Among other items, the invoice requests 20,000 Israeli
shekels, about $4,200, to pay for electrical and chemical components for
the production of a month's supply of about 30 bombs.

"It's an invoice of terrorism," said Dore Gold, an adviser to Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon.

Palestinian officials dismissed the document, typewritten in Arabic on
stationery headed by the "al-Aqsa Martyrs Troops," as a forgery.

"I think it's phony," said Saeb Erekat, a top Palestinian negotiator.
"It's part of a series of Israeli fabrications."

For months, Israel has accused Arafat of financing Palestinian militant
groups that conduct terrorist and other attacks, but until now it has
produced little documentary evidence to support its allegations. Chief
among the recipients of Arafat's support, the Israelis say, has been the
al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a loose collection of armed groups that have
carried out a string of suicide bombings and shootings since the beginning
of this year. The group is an offshoot of Fatah, Arafat's movement, which
Israel says is fully funded by the Palestinian leader.

Israel described one of the documents made public today as an invoice
presented by the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades to Fuad Shubaki, the chief
procurement and finance officer of the Palestinian security services.
Israel has said that Shubaki, who is close to Arafat and has accompanied
him on trips abroad, authorized payments for a large shipment of Iranian-
made weapons bound for Palestinian groups that was seized in the Red Sea
by Israel commandos in January. After that, Arafat announced under intense
pressure from the United States that Shubaki had been arrested, although
Israel says he was never actually confined.

The al-Aqsa document, entitled "Financial Report," is dated Sept. 16,
2001. It includes a number of relatively banal items, such as $250 for
"printing announcements and invitations and mourning tents" and $420 for
printing posters of Palestinians killed by Israel.

Other entries detailed the price of ammunition for AK-47 and M-16 assault
rifles.

The largest expense -- nearly half the invoice's total -- is for the bomb-
making equipment. "This has been our largest expense," the cost of a
prepared bomb being at least 700 shekels, or about $150, the document
notes. "We need about 5-9 bombs a week for our cells in various areas --
5000 Shekels x 4 weeks=20,000 Shekels."

Israel made special efforts to publicize the document, telephoning foreign
correspondents to invite them to a news conference on the subject and
posting an explanatory guide on the army's Web site. "This money does not
go merely to finance propaganda concerning terrorists involved in attacks,
but also to control the planning of future attacks," states the
explanatory guide.

Israeli officials noted that in the months following the submission of the
al-Aqsa invoice in September, especially beginning this year, the group
intensified its attacks on Israelis, including suicide bombings.

According to Israel, the de facto leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades
is Marwan Barghouti, Arafat's top Fatah lieutenant in the West Bank. He,
in turn, passes orders from Arafat down to al-Aqsa operatives, Israeli
officials say.

The U.S. government recently added the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades to its
list of terrorist organizations.
