Kaddoumi: Oslo Brought Tens of Thousands of Armed Palestinians into the Territories

(NewsFirstClass-Hebrew) Farouk Kaddoumi, head of the PLO's Political Department, said Monday that the Oslo Accords "made possible the return of the leadership from Tunis and the entrance of tens of thousands of armed Palestinians into the territories."

Kaddoumi told Arab reporters that Yasser Abed Rabbo was involved in the "Geneva Accord" initiative at the direct instruction of the Palestinian Authority.
