 Imagine if we met in India and you have your pants

the state and most muddled status is something called
Israel.

[In this latest report from Ha'aretz on the
assassination of the head of the<BR>
PFLP, we find that the American weapons used by Israel
to carry out this<BR>
heinous act damaged the home of and injured several
American citizens. Of<BR>
course, it leads to the question of why a life is more
important because its<BR>
bearer also holds an American passport, but one can
hope that, if Americans<BR>
are told about this (and as yet there has been no
report of this in American<BR>
media that I am aware of) it may help to shed some
light on what kind of<BR>
brutality Americans are paying for with our tax
dollars. We also see the<BR>
sudden determination by the IDF, in the wake of this
attack, that the PFLP<BR>
was actually behind several small car bombs that were
attributed to other<BR>
groups, or no groups, when they actually occurred.

conclusions. - MP]<BR>

IDF kills PFLP chief; U.S. to Israel: Explain American
injuries<BR>
<BR>
By Amira Hass, Ha'aretz Correspondent and Ha'aretz
Service<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Abu Ali Mustafa, the head of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of<BR>
Palestine, was killed Monday by Israel when an IAF
helicopter fired missiles<BR>
into his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Mustafa, who held the<BR>
post of PFLP secretary-general, is the most senior
Palestinian to be<BR>
assassinated by Israel since the start of the Intifada
uprising 11 months<BR>
ago.<BR>
<BR>
An attack helicopter fired several missiles at the
office of Mustafa, which<BR>
is in a three-storey home in Ramallah, and is on a
street that runs parallel<BR>
to the street where Palestinian Authority Chairman
Yasser Arafat has his<BR>
West Bank offices.<BR>
<BR>
Four Palestinians were lightly wounded in the
attack.<BR>
<BR>
Israeli security sources said that Mustafa had been
involved in<BR>
orchestrating a wave of attacks and that the hit had
been carried out to<BR>
save lives in Israel.<BR>
<BR>
The IDF spokesperson confirmed the attack and said the
PFLP had been<BR>
responsible for a number of attacks inside Israel,
including a car bomb<BR>
placed near the Russian Compound area in downtown
Jerusalem last week and a<BR>
bomb hidden inside a watermelon that was placed on a
Jerusalem bus several<BR>
weeks ago. There were no injuries in either
attack.<BR>
<BR>
 United States Ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer asked
Israel on Monday<BR>
afternoon to explain why it had carried out an attack
on the building when<BR>
it contained American citizens.<BR>
<BR>
Three families holding American citizenship were in
the building that also<BR>
housed Mustafa's offices when he was killed. Two of
the four people lightly<BR>
wounded in the attack were children with American
citizenship.<BR>
<BR>
"We pay our taxes in the U.S. and this money is
used to give the Israelis<BR>
weapons which they have used to attack my home,"
said Rhada Daes, a mother<BR>
of four, who was born in New York and moved to
Ramallah three years ago with<BR>
her family.<BR>
<BR>
The Prime Minister's Office said in response that the
organizers of the<BR>
operation had been unaware of the fact that there were
American citizens in<BR>
the building, and that the attack would not have taken
place had they known.<BR>
<BR>
Mustafa was also involved in several car bomb attacks:
In February, four<BR>
Israelis were lightly injured in the Beit Yisrael
neighborhood of Jerusalem;<BR>
in April eight Israelis were lightly injured in Or
Yehuda; and in July four<BR>
Israelis were lightly injured in Yehud.<BR>
<BR>
The PFLP also claimed responsibility for the attack in
the Gaza Strip on<BR>
Saturday in which two armed Palestinians infiltrated
the Marganit military<BR>
base and killed three IDF soldiers, and injured seven
others, before being<BR>
killed themselves. But Israeli security said the PFLP
made the claim to<BR>
protect the Fatah faction which was really behind the
attack.<BR>
<BR>
Mustafa, 63, became leader of the PFLP after founder
George Habash stepped<BR>
down in July last year. The radical Marxist faction of
the Palestinian<BR>
Liberation Organization refuses to recognize the Oslo
Accords and all other<BR>
agreements between the Palestinian Authority and
Israel.<BR>
<BR>
Mustafa came to Palestinian Authority-controlled areas
in September 1999,<BR>
after the PA said it would restrain his terror
activities. At the onset of<BR>
the Al-Aqsa Intifada in September he established a
military cell that<BR>
operated throughout the West Bank and instructed them
to carry out attacks<BR>
inside Israel.<BR>
<BR>
The cell primarily used booby-trapped cars to carry
out attacks, with the<BR>
goal of increasing the number of casualties in each
attack. Mustafa also<BR>
helped build an infrastructure of Arab collaborators
in East Jerusalem, some<BR>
of whom were arrested last week by the Shin Bet
security service.<BR>
