Saddam Bankrolled Palestinian Terrorists
(Scotsman-UK) Fraser Nelson - The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, whose history of terrorism dates back to the "black September" hijackings of 1970, was personally vetted by Saddam Hussein to receive oil vouchers worth £40 million, according to U.S. investigators from the Iraq Survey Group (ISG). His financial support also extended to Abu Al-Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Front, who was allocated 11.5 million barrels of oil. The PLO is also named as a main beneficiary from Saddam's scheme - receiving four million barrels under its own name and five million barrels for its "political bureau." The cash was passed through Syria, a known conduit for Palestinian terror organizations.
