Arafat's Fatah 'ready with 5,000 bombers'

Jerusalem (jnewwire.com) - A senior leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said in an interview Tuesday that his terror group has more than 5,000 "suicide" bombers waiting in the wings to strike Israel.
The group is a "military" wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization, which has the ruling majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council. That connection leads many Israelis to view the Brigades as a sanctioned Palestinian Authority terror group.
The Al Aqsa Brigades appears on the US State Department's list of known terrorist organizations.
'More than 5,000 jihadists waiting'
Abu Kasi, the head of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the Gaza Strip, told the London-based Arabic daily A-sharq al-awsat his group was prepared to launch a larger attack against Israel.
According to Abu Kasi, Al Aqsa Brigades has more than 5,000 willing "suicide" bombers in Judea, Samaria and Gaza waiting for the order to slaughter Jewish men, women and children.
'Arafat is our boss'
Abu Kasi took a stand on the current internal Fatah strife, saying the Brigades see Yasser Arafat as their one and only leader.
