[The Smoking Gun] Translation of documents from Palestinian Authority office
CNN.com | 4-3-02 | Yasser Arafat's COO

Posted on 04/03/2002 4:09:51 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

English translation of documents found in a former Palestinian Authority finance official's office by the IDF that they say are requests for funds from Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade:

Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades

Palestine

Financial Report

The debts which we have accumulated until now are estimated to be NIS 38,000. The following are the details:

1. The cost of posters of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades: Azam Mazhar, Usama Jubara, Shadi Afuri, Yasser Badawi, Ahed Fares (addition in handwriting of 2,000 shekels).

2. Costs of printed announcements, invitations and mourners shelters for martyrs (addition in handwriting of 1,250 shekels).

3. Cost of sticking photos of martyrs on wooden boards and also of the martyrs Thabet Thabet and Mahmud Al Jamil (addition in handwriting of 1,000 shekels).

4. Cost of memorial ceremonies for the martyrs. Memorial ceremonies were held for the martyr Azam and the martyr Usama (addition in handwriting of 6,000 shekels).

5. Costs of electricity products and various chemical materials (for manufacture of explosive charges and bombs). This is the greatest expenditure (the cost of one ready explosive charge is 700 shekels at least). We require on a weekly basis 5 – 9 explosives charges for squads in various areas (addition in handwriting of 5,000 shekels per week x 4 = 20,000 shekels per month).

6. The cost of bullets. The cost of a Kalashnikov bullet is 7 – 8 shekels, and an M-16 bullet costs 2 – 2.5 shekels. We need bullets on a daily basis.

7. Note: there are 3,000 Kalashnikov bullets at a cost of 2 shekels per bullet. We require that you transfer to us immediately a sum of money for us to purchase them (addition in handwriting of 22,500 shekels for kalashnikov bullets and 60,000 shekels for M-16 bullets).

In conclusion, all the glory and pride to those supporting the brave resistance against the oppressive occupation.

From the revolution until victory.

I don't, but I don't assume they're genuine either.

Israel has far too much at stake right now to present forged documents to the world for their examination. These 'invoices' are the real deal...you can bet your a$$ on that!

Drought-stricken nations would pay a fortune to have Barney Frank say that on their turf....

Diet Coke was not meant to spew from my nose...

Plus, I kind of doubt if anybody forging documents like these would have had the subtlety to leave Arafat's name out.

I think that it was the "Sincerely, the Mossad" that tipped off the operation.

But these documents are not for the "world", they are for their true believers. If they are uncovered, they'll deny like w/ Pollad.
