Saddam paying kin of suicide bombers Saddam has repeatedly shown his support for the Palestinians and their uprising against Israel with financial aid. He has pledged $25,000 each for families of suicide bombers and $10,000 each for relatives of those killed in fighting with Israel. de.indymedia.org
The last round of the survey (April-May 2003) indicates that the average monthly income of the Palestinian family is 1771 NIS (or 394 US$)
Or, to put ir differently, Saddam was paying 5 years income to these people to have a kid go blow himself up.
If that's not encouraging terrorism, what is? Got money problems? Send a kid to Allah.
Wasn't it strange how an internationally known terrorist like Abbu Nidal was found in Baghdad, but many cannot find any terrorist connection to the Saddam regime. military.com
Naturally he will be given a hero's burial by the Palestine Authority. For Abu Abbas had moved steadily up in the terrorist ranks over the years, becoming chief of his own faction, the Palestinian Liberation Front. His most notorious exploit was the hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro, during which a crippled passenger — 69-year-old Leon Klinghoffer — was shot in the head and his wheelchair-bound body dumped overboard. Nice people, the Palestine Liberation Front.
As a result, a life sentence awaited Abu Abbas in Italy, where he'd been tried in absentia. But he found sanctuary in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. (Tell us again that Saddam had no links to terrorism.) And now he's escaped justice once again. 209.157.64.200
