PALESTINIAN WEAPONS SHIP CAUGHT
DOCKING IN ASHDOD
web page
SEPTEMBER 12, 2002: Israel's internal security service, Shin Bet, has announced that it intercepted a ship of arms destined for the Palestinian Authority. Osama bin Laden trinkets, celebrating the successful attacks in America a year ago, were also amongst the cargo.
The ship was discovered two months ago in the Israeli port of Ashdod, however Shin Bet only released the details of the find on Tuesday. Most sea-born cargo headed in and out of Gaza goes through the Ashdod port.
The ship was packed with crates whose manifest indicated they were filled with toys donated by foreign Islamic charity organizations. These "toys" were actually hundreds of kilograms of guns, ammunition, night vision equipment and telescopic lens.
The ship also contained souvenirs that marked the terrorist attacks in America a year ago: Cigarette lighters shaped with bin Laden's head alongside a plane hitting the twin-towered World Trade Center in New York. The letters USA are boldly written below the sculptured lighter.
The release of the details of the bust, seemingly timed to coincide with the anniversary of the attacks, will embarrass the PA, which is alleged to have been the intended receiver of the arms.
The PA is looking to avoid the embarrassment that its people placed it in last year when images were flashed across the world of Palestinians celebrating in the streets after the attacks in America. The PA has warned Palestinian journalists that they face jail if they cover any expressions of joy marking the anniversary.
