Another Murder Brought to You By Fatah
Last week, two off-duty IDF soldiers were murdered in cold blood by some palestinian terrorists, who sprayed the boys with bullets while they were hiking.
After the attack, the palestinian “security services” claimed the attack may have been criminally motivated, a weapons deal gone awry if you will.
The commander of the Hebron region’s security services, Samih As-Sayfi said on Saturday that two suspects have been arrested believed to be involved in the shooting and killing two Israeli soldiers near the village of Beit Kahil, north of Hebron.
He said that the suspects were being interrogated.
Meanwhile, security sources in Hebron said they suspected the killings to be the result of dispute between the slain soldiers and the killers over weapons trading.
Now it turns out that not only was this a premeditated, nationalistically motivated terrorist attack, but the terrorists were members of “Moderate” Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party.
The terrorists who carried out Friday’s shooting attack near the West Bank city of Hebron, killing two Israelis, were both members of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah faction, according to information made public Tuesday.
The terrorists turned themselves into Palestinian Authority general intelligence custody immediately following the attack, due to fears they would be captured by Israeli security forces that were in pursuit.

The PA general intelligence did not immediately inform Israel that the terrorists were in its custody, and only did so once the Shin Bet security service approached Palestinian officials.
Following the Shin Bet request, Palestinian intelligence confirmed that the terrorists had turned themselves in, and even handed over to Israel the victims’ weapons, which the assailants had taken following the attack, as well as the weapons used in the shooting.
The terrorist who was killed was identified as 23-year-old Hebron resident Bassel Natsha. The two who turned themselves in are 24-year-old Hebron resident Ali Dandanes, a court clerk and Fatah member who has ties to the Palestinian general intelligence, and 26-year-old Hebron resident Amar Taha, a Fatah member and a member of the Palestinian national security forces.
According the Palestinian inquiry, the attack was premeditated, and the terrorists had waited for an opportune time to carry it out. One of the terrorists spotted the Israeli hikers, and called the other two to the scene in order to carry out the attack.
Another example of terrorism perpetrated by the people the world is trying to paint as Israel’s peace partners.
Also note how they tried to hide it. Samih As-Sayfi, the commander of the Hebron region’s security services, concocted his weapons trading story, knowing full well that one of the terrorists was a Hebron-based member of the palestinian national security forces. For all we know, he may have been under As-Sayfi’s command. And the palestinians hid the truth until they knew the game was up, instead trying to placate Israel and the world by pretending to arrest terrorists.
When will the world – and indeed the Israeli government – open their eyes and see that we are dealing with people who have not given up on their dream to drive us into the sea?

Now I just saw something claiming the gunmen were actually more Fatah police forces.
But lets go back to where they blamed it on Hamas criminal motives.
What a coincidence. The PA is arresting Hamas evildoers just days before Bush comes with promises of a state and bags of money. What a goodwill gesture.
