The Samaria Military Court on Thursday indicted Daib Abu Zeid, a reporter for Hizbullah's al-Manar television for transferring funds on behalf of the Hizbullah to Palestinian terror cells in the West Bank and recruiting Israeli Arabs to Hizbullah's ranks.

Also on Thursday, security services arrested a correspondent of the Al-Jazeera Arab satellite television network suspected of aiding Palestinian terrorists.

Dib Abu Zayad, 38, from Jenin, was arrested three months ago in Nablus. According to the Shin Bet, Zayad supplied terrorists with weapons, money, clothes and modes of transportation.

Zayad served as a liaison between a Fatah leader in Lebanon and Fatah cells in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, passing money and information between the two countries.

Dib Abu Zayad was among 8 Palestinians arrested by the Shin Bet under suspicion of aiding and abetting terrorists. The security services were unable to divulge further details regarding Zayad's arrest.

In the last few days the security establishment received 60 terror alerts on average every day. At least three major attacks were thwarted.

Also Thursday, soldiers from an elite IDF unit arrested Muhammad Fukayat, a senior Hamas fugitive, in Ramallah.

According to Palestinian reports, troops entered a Palestinian government ministry in the city and arrested Fukayet, an executive in the Palestinian Prisoners Office, which deals with aiding released prisoners.

Palestinians added that during the operation, IDF troops conducted a search in the chambers of Fatah official Kadura Fares, a Palestinian parliamentary deputy.

A short time earlier, Palestinians opened fire on Israeli troops near the West Bank settlement of Kadim. No one was injured and no damage was caused in the incident.

Across the West Bank, the army arrested 27 wanted Palestinians overnight Wednesday. Palestinian officials said two of those arrested were female students from the Al Quds university in Nablus, a known hotbed of militant activity.

I have taken this as a given for decades, insofar as it applies to the sandmaggots.
That the admission, by the muslim news agencies themselves, that it happens, is still not enough to convince many Americans that this is happening. There none as blind as those who will not see.

Besides, it's not a big deal. Right?

This is probably occuring in other places.

It happened in Bagdhad one year ago, when Aljazeera was broadcasting a completely fictitious view of the battle, presumably to keep up the spirit of the Iraqi troops.

And it's happening again right now in Fajullah, with Aljazeera broadcasting more of its insidious propaganda designed to lead Iraqis into a false sense of ire and potential victory.

They should be kicked out or Iraq and have their sat circuits jammed.

What do you expect from the same people who routinely use schools and mosques store weapons, ambulances to transport human bombers, and civilians as human shields?

Arabs are barbaric tribemen, they have no chivalry-- a strictly western concept-- and their only rule of warfare is rule #1: there are no rules. I really can't think of any henious act they might do that would surprise me.

The same fifth column radio station I mentioned in my previous ping (KIRO) gave an interview to a local reporter who quit his job and went to work for Al-Jazeera.

He all but said he was a terrorist during the interview.
