Force 17, for those that don't know were Arafat's `enforcers' responsible for murdering and cowing the opposition.They fulfill the same function now for Abbas.
One of the infamous alumni of Force 17 is one of the prime links between the Palestinians, Hezbollah and al Qaeda, Imad Mugniyeh, who you may have heard me mention before. He started out in Force 17 as one of Arafat's muderous lieutenants, and later graduated to being one of Osama bin-Laden's Chiefs of Operations in al Qaeda.
Among his other accomplishments was being one of the prime organizers of the Karina A illegal arms shipment from Iran to Arafat via Hezbollah. And he was one of those terrorist al Qaeda leaders who had free run in Saddam's Iraq..where of course, no terrorists existed, right?
Typical for this Administration..fight `em with one hand, fund `em with the other...
