I found this part rather interesting.. One normally perceives AK-47 ammunition as being readily available and dirt cheap compared to M-16 ammo.. But here we see it's just the opposite, and by a margin of 3 to 1:

Article seven of the document details the "cost of 3,000 bullets for Kalachnikov rifles at a cost of NIS 7.5 per bullet, and 30,000 bullets for M-16 rifles at a cost of NIS 2 per bullet. We need the immediate transfer of funds so as to make the purchase - NIS 22,500 for Kalachnikov bullets and NIS 60,000 for M-16 bullets."

This was rather interesting as well:

Eisen estimated Tuesday that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat never signed documents tying him to the terrorist activities of various organizations, but that Shubeiki's signature, who is part of Arafat's inner circle, testifies to the PA's involvement in acts of terror.

Shubeiki was the individual who financed the purchase of the Karine A weapons ship from Iran in December 2001.


Proof positive of Arafat's complicity in surrounding himself with individuals financing and directing terror.
