UNRWA Provides Cover for Palestinian Terrorists

(New York Times) - Michael Wines A damning Israeli intelligence report charges that operations of the UN Relief and Works Agency in the West Bank and Gaza provide cover for Palestinian terrorists. Guerrillas have hijacked the relief agency's schools, ambulances, and even workers. Palestinian militia members stored ammunition in UNRWA schools and smuggled arms in UN ambulances. A UN social club was the host for meetings of the Tanzim Palestinian militia linked to Arafat's Fatah terrorist group. "UNRWA has been active in the refugee camps for more than 50 years now," a senior Israeli official said. "There is no way UNRWA does not know that some schools are being used afternoons for gatherings of Hamas. There is no way UNRWA staff members don't know that pictures of shaheeds and martyrs are being hung in schools."
