CIA director to ask Arafat to arrest resistance fighters

Occupied Jerusalem: 7 June, 2001 (IAP News) - CIA Director George Tenet
will ask Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat when he meets him tonight to
arrest hundreds of Palestinians who took part in the armed resistance
against the Israeli occupation army, informed sources in Jerusalem said
today.

The sources said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, whose troops killed
over 500 Palestinians, 144 of them children and minors, since the outbreak
of the Palestinian uprising  more than 8 months ago,  gave Tenet a list of
138 names he demanded that Arafat should put them in jail.

In two days, a high-ranking Israeli army officer hinted that Israeli
warplanes would strike at Hamas and Islamic Jihad detainees once they are
incarcerated.

"This way we could strike two birds with one stone, we kill the terrorists
and spark off civil war in the ranks of the Palestinians," said the officer
during a talk-in show on the Hebrew radio, Cal Yisrael.

The list of names which Tenet is to hand Arafat doesn't include Fatah
fighters.

CIA apparently advised Sharon that it would be inexpedient to demand of
Arafat the arrest of many Fatah fighters on the grounds that this would
weaken him since Fatah is his power-base.

PA official Nabil Sha'ath said the PA wouldn't arrest Palestinian fighters
in response to the Israeli request.

"The PA is not going to act as Israel's policeman," he said on Thursday.

Meanwhile, an Islamic leader in the Ramallah region has warned the
Preventive Security Agency, headed by Col. Jebril Rajoub, against arresting
freedom fighters from Hamas, Fatah, and the Islamic Jihad.

"It would be a colossal scandal to see Jebril's men start arresting the
freedom fighters who defended our women and children against the barbaric
Zionist rampage…if he (Rajoub) such a thing, he would be ejected by the
people…and worse," said the Islamist leader who demanded anonymity.
