TEL AVIV – The United Nations has initiated a program to provide "job training" and "family assistance" purportedly to integrate into Palestinian society terrorists granted amnesty in July by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Many of the terrorists now slated for aid have boasted of violating their amnesty agreement by refusing to disarm and reportedly continuing to attack the Jewish state.

Israel has information some of the pardoned terrorists have been coordinating activities with the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization.

In a gesture to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Olmert granted the official amnesty to 178 West Bank-based members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's declared military wing, which took responsibility along with the Islamic Jihad terror group for every suicide bombing in Israel the past two years.

The amnesty agreement required the terrorists disarm, refrain from terror activities and restrict their movements to the area in which they reside for three months.

Now the U.N. Development Program is stepping in with plans to provide job training and assistance for the Palestinian gunmen and their families. The program states its aim is to "reintegrate" the pardoned Al-Aqsa Brigades gunmen into civil society. The initial funding is reportedly coming from the European Union.

Under the planned program, "a team of experts" is slated to meet with each pardoned gunmen to council him on establishing a new life.

Palestinian Interior Minister Abdur Razzaq Mahmoud al-Yahya reportedly ordered Palestinian regional governors to coordinate with the UNDP and the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution to kick start the program.

But the pardoned terrorists don't seem ready to join civilian life just yet.
