Arafat expels 21 Al-Aqsa Brigade members from his office
AFP via Babelfish translation ^ | April 21, 2004

Posted on 04/21/2004 10:55:20 PM PDT by HAL9000

The president of the Palestinian Authority Yasser Arafat drove out in the night of Wednesday to Thursday 21 persons in charge and activists of the Brigades of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs who had taken refuge in his headquarters of Ramallah, indicated one of them.

"Yasser Arafat obliged us, twenty of my comrades of the Brigades of the Al-Aqsa martyrs and me, to leave Mouqataa", its HQ, indicated to the AFP Ali Barghouthi, one of the heads of this organization for the West Bank.

The Brigades of the Al-Aqsa martyrs are a nebula of armed groups related to Fatah, the movement of M. Arafat, but having a certain autonomy.

No refuge with Arafat now. They can die running from the Israelis now, or they can die attacking the Israelis.

My guess is Arafat might have figured that if he keeps 21 terrorist around him, Israel might fire a missile into his office merely for the reason they were there.

It is time for Arafat to pretend he is merely a political leader. It is too dangerous to hang with terrorists.

They probably got into an argument of some sort. Nonetheless, Arafat continues to harbor their ilk.

Arafat seems a bit edgy lately. I wonder why?

walls fall down. Arafat doesn;t want to become the next Rantisi or Yassin.

I meant he doesn't want those Al Aqsa Brigade members in his HQ, because he doesn't want to give Israel a reason to send in a few missiles.

Some fun things to do when you're pajama partying at Yasser's place:

1) Declare jihad on Dominos for refusing to deliver.
2) Forget the tail, just play pin the donkey.
3) Duck and yell 'Incoming!'

It's late...
