It's Official: Arafat Ordered Terrorist Attacks
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Sha’ul Mofaz made today some of the strongest accusations against Yasser Arafat to date. Speaking to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Mofaz said that Arafat did not just give a "green light" to terrorism, but was the very initiator of many attacks. Arutz-7's Haggai Seri reports that Arafat convened, in February 2000, the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and told them to commit terrorist attacks within pre-1967 Israel with the purpose of getting Israel to "surrender." Later, he gave a similar order to Tanzim (Fatah militia) heads.

Afula attack embarrasses Arafat on eve of Zinni meeting, and underlines his fading control

You think so? I noticed yesterday that Arafat was out of the country, which is always an early warning signal, and concluded that he intended to increase the violence. That also agrees with what Debkafiles said, and they have a pretty good track record on predicting Arafat's moves.
