New evidence Arafat killed U.S. diplomats
Nixon historian finds CIA report on Fatah link to 1973 murders
" The next day, eight members of Black September, part of Arafat's Fatah organization, stormed the Saudi embassy in Khartoum, took Noel, Moore and others hostage. A day later, on March 2, 1973, Noel, Moore and Eid were machine-gunned to death – all, Welsh charges, on the direct orders of Arafat.
Welsh, who left the Navy and NSA in 1974, speaking publicly for the first time to WorldNetDaily, accused the U.S. government of a 29-year-old cover-up of Arafat's role in the planning and execution of the attack.
"Over the years I have kept my silence about what I know about this tragic episode," Welsh told WorldNetDaily. "But recently I began to wonder how recent administrations could overlook something as terrible as this in our dealings with Yasser Arafat."
When President Clinton invited Arafat to the White House for direct negotiations on the Middle East, Welsh says, that was the last straw. He has been on a personal one-man mission to uncover the tape recordings and transcripts of those intercepts between Arafat and Khalaf, also known as Abu-Iyad, in Beirut and Khalil al-Wazir in Khartoum.
Welsh cannot fathom how and why the U.S. has continued to promote Arafat as a partner for peace while knowing of his involvement in these murders. Further, he has been stymied in efforts, using the Freedom of Information Act, to secure copies of the recordings or transcripts of them.
"No one wants to touch this thing," Welsh says. "It's a hot potato. No one wants to be responsible for derailing the Mideast peace process."
But Welsh thinks the American people, who are footing much of the bill for Arafat's current activities, have a right to know about his personal responsibility for the murder of two Americans. And he is the first American involved directly in the affair to charge publicly what has long been rumored – that Arafat ordered the embassy takeover and the murders of the American diplomats.
"I have decided that my oaths of secrecy must give way to my sense of right and wrong," he told WorldNetDaily."
