In this week’s CRC Open Sources we link to a piece by Aaron Klein – “Americans paying rent for terrorists?” -at WorldNetDaily:
“Just days after it was announced the U.S. would transfer $150 million directly to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ government, members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, the declared military wing of Abbas’ Fatah party, were told they would receive cash grants, WND has learned.
“According to Palestinian militant sources familiar with the issue, earlier this month, 20 members of the Brigades leadership in the West Bank city of Ramallah complained to PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad they did not have enough money to pay their bills, including, for many of them, rent for their apartments.
“Last week, according to the informed sources, Fayyad told the complaining Brigades leaders he would provide them with a one-time grant of $3,000 each, or $60,000 to the Ramallah-based Brigades leadership.”
It’s troubling enough that the American taxpayer has created – and for years, funded – this generationally dependent welfare state in our own country: Now it appears we are footing the bill for international terrorists.
