Tanzim Fatah terrorist apparatus and its leaders were appointed by
Yasser Arafat
(Communicated by Israel security sources)
Nasser Aweis, the most senior Tanzim figure in Samaria and the
individual responsible for recruiting terrorist cells, arming them
and handling them and the person behind many bomb attacks in Israel,
revealed during questioning that he and his men were supported
financially by Arafat.
Aweis stated that he himself and the operatives registered with
Fatah/Tanzim who carried out many attacks against Israel, received
financial assistance authorized by Yasser Arafat. According to Aweis,
the names of the Tanzim terrorists were given to Marwan Barghouti and
the latter would have Arafat sign the requests for assistance. After
this, the checks would be sent to Issam Abu Bakhar, secretary general
of Fatah in Nablus, who was responsible for distributing the money.
