An IDF military court in the West Bank has convicted Yasser Arafat's former financial aide Fuad Shubaki of illegal arms dealing, as well as organizing and financing the Karine A weapons boat, which the IDF caught carrying advanced weaponry in the Red Sea as it was making its way to the Gaza Strip in 2002.

Shubaki, who was arrested three years ago, was also convicted of bankrolling terror attacks and providing funds for the al-Aksa Martyrs' Brigades terror group during the second intifada. According to the court, Shubaki coordinated the purchase and subsequent shipment of the arms from Iran, and also channeled money from his office to Fatah terror cells, in both cases acting on direct orders from then-Palestinian Authority chairman Arafat.

Thanks for posting.

Because of the Karine A incident and the proof of it PM Sharon gave to Pres Bush, Pres Bush cut off Arafat.

Pay attention Zero. You are likely to be very embarassed by your so called Muslim allies.

Exactly. He promised the Gazans close to 1B in relief money after Operation Cast Lead. I think we know where it would be going.
