Sources: Arafat approved convoy attack

Yasser Arafat reportedly approved, in concept, an attack on a U.S. convoy in the Gaza Strip last year that took the lives of three Americans.

Middle East Newsline said Tuesday it was told by "U.S. diplomatic sources" a U.S. investigation into the attack on the convoy in October revealed a clear role by the Palestinian Authority chairman.

I knew it and said so at the time.
Nothing happens in the "Palestinian areas" without Yasser's nod, especially terror attacks.
Hope we gave Ariel Sharon carte blanche to take Arafat out when we found out this news!
