There was no independent confirmation of the account of Zammar that bin Lakoul gave. But human rights groups have documented the use of tiny cells in the Far' Falastin center.

Notice how this highly important detail is buried in the middle of the article. They took the statements made by one prisoner and turned it into an entire article. Always, always take what these guys say with a grain of salt. Also, "human rights groups" need to be taken with a grain of salt as well since most of them have a socialist agenda. "Political" prisoners and refugees have a history of telling wild, fantastic tales that leftists take for gospel truth and their stories should always be independently verified.

I also wonder what the dope did to get his story out. He had to be cooperating and now he has to go the other way to save his skin. And the writer of the article is subtley glorifying Atta in how he refers to the murderer in the article.
