Palestinians Expose Israeli Plot to Create Fake Al-Qaeda Cell in Gaza
(IslamOnline & News Agencies (islamonline.net). Redistributed via Press International News Agency (PINA))
GAZA CITY - Palestinian security forces accused Israeli intelligence agents Saturday, December 7, of trying to set up a mock Al-Qaeda cell in the Gaza Strip following the Jewish states accusations Osama bin Ladens network was active in the fenced-in coastal area. . . . The Gaza Strips head of preventive security, Colonel Rashid Abu Shbak, told journalists that Israeli agents, posing as operatives of Bin Ladens network, recruited Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. . . . Over the past nine months, weve been investigating eight cases in which Israeli intelligence posing as Al-Qaeda operatives recruited Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," said Abu Shbak. . . . He said that three Palestinians had been detained, while another 11 were let go because they came and informed us of this Israeli plot. . . . The Shin Beth - Israeli internal intelligence - has the means to do whatever it wants. . . . The money was provided by Palestinian collaborators with Israel directly to the new recruits or was transferred from bank accounts in Jerusalem or Israel, Shbak said. . . . Abu Shbaks revelations came two days after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon charged Al-Qaeda militants were operating in the Gaza Strip and in Lebanon, raising fears of an intensification of Israeli military operations. . . . This allegation by Sharon was considered a surprise because the Gaza Strip is virtually sealed off by Israeli troops. . . . accused Sharon of trying to piggyback on the U.S.-led war against terrorism to justify more attacks on the Palestinian people and violence in the Gaza Strip. . . . While recognizing Israels legitimate right to fight terrorism, the E.U. has consistently rejected Israeli methods of extra-judicial killings and house demolitions and Israels excessive use of force, it said.
