Terrorism

Fatah PA legislator sent Tel Aviv "suicide" bomber

A member of Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction of the PLO, and a former legislator in the PA parliament, was found guilty Wednesday of sending a "suicide" bomber to Tel Aviv in 2002.

The attacker blew himself up in a coffee shop in the coastal city, killing Rachel Tcherkhi, an Israeli woman.

Jamal Tirawi was convicted of sending the bomber and thus of deliberately murdering Tcherki.

Israeli and western politicians insist that Abbas and Fatah are "moderates" compared to the Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad.

But Fatah members have carried out more terrorist attacks and killed and maimed more Jews than any other "Palestinian" group.

And they remain as committed to Israel's eventual and complete annihilation as does Hamas.
