JPost - Reg Req’d - Arafat’s wife Suha must need shopping money
Officials of several Islamic charities in the Gaza Strip said Thursday that 36 of their bank accounts have been frozen by the Palestinian Authority, in what appeared to be part of a possible crackdown on terror groups.
yeah, rigggghhhtttt
Palestinian Authority officials could not immediately be reached for comment. too busy chuckling
The freezing of funds came to light Thursday, as hundreds of Palestinians relying on welfare tried to pick up their monthly support checks. They were told by banks that they would not receive money, and that the accounts had been frozen. The heads of the charities were given the same message by the banks. The funds were frozen by the Palestinian Monetary Authority, according to a copy of the order obtained by The Associated Press.
This is more show for PR...nothing of substance, other than Arafat trying to assert control - as usual. But you can bet Chirac will be all over it like a cheap suit to justify their support of Hamas, PA, and IJ
| Actually, I'd say this would make things harder on Chirac. How can he not freeze their accounts when Yasser's freezing their accounts? |
