Shin Bet uncovers Iraqi-sponsored Palestinian terror cell By Amos Harel, Ha'aretz Correspondent The Shin Bet security service recently arrested 15 Palestinians who were members of a terror group operated by Iraq. The detainees, residents of the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Jenin, are connected to the pro-Iraqi Palestine Liberation Front (PLF). Some of those arrested underwent military training in Iraq. The PLF carried out the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship, during which they held some 450 passengers for three days and murdered American Leon Klinghoffer. The current Shin Bet investigation has found that Iraqi intelligence agents delivered funding for the group's operations. It has also found that some weapons were smuggled into the West Bank via the Allenby Bridge in the car of Abed al Razak Yechia. Yechia, a Palestinian, held a VIP permit which exempted his car from searches by Israeli security at the border. Members of the group have admitted to the July kidnapping and murder of Israeli teen Yuri Gushstein from the Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev and to planting an explosive device at the Checkpoint Junction near Haifa, which lightly injured five Israelis. According to Shin Bet, members of the group planned to carry out high profile attacks at Ben Gurion International Airport, in central Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv.
