AN American company says it will stop adding biblical references to the so-called Jesus sights for rifles used by Australian soldiers. Trijicon triggered an international uproar when US soldiers in Afghanistan discovered that letters and figures they thought were simply stock or model numbers referred to passages from the Bible. One example was JN8:12 which turned out to be a reference to chapter eight, verse 12 in the Book of John: “When Jesus spoke again to the people he said ‘I am the light of the world’.” The company has now issued a statement saying it had stopped putting the inscriptions on its sights. It said it would also give the Pentagon, free of charge, 100 free kits which could be used to remove the references from sights that had already been issued to troops. The ADF has several hundred of the sights, which are prized by elite troops for their accuracy over long range, and it is now working out how to remove the scriptural links from them with wrecking the equipment. The Michigan-based family-owned company said it had for two generations been working to provide America's military men and women with high quality, and innovative sighting systems. “Our effort is simple and straightforward: to help our servicemen and women win the war on terror and come home safe to their families. “As part of our faith and our belief in service to our country, Trijicon has put scripture references on our products for more than two decades. “As long as we have men and women in danger, we will continue to do everything we can to provide them with both state-of-the-art technology and the never-ending support and prayers of a grateful nation.” The ADF confirmed yesterday it had been unaware of the meaning of the inscription when the sights were issued to troops. “The Department of Defence was unaware of the significance of the manufacturer's serial number,” the spokesman said. “The sights were procured because they provide mature technology which is highly reliable, in wide use by our allies and best meet Defence requirements. Soldiers are confident in the utility of the sight and the positive and proven effect which it is having on operations.” The spokesman said Defence was conscious of the sensitivities over this issue and was assessing how to address them. Another inscription was 2COR4:6, which is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament. The passage reads: “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” The Australian 
AUSTRALIAN special forces soldiers are using gunsights with biblical references etched on to them as they fight the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan. The ADF has several hundred of the sights, which are prized by elite troops for their accuracy over long range. Their use by US, British and New Zealand troops has raised alarm among military leaders that it could reinforce views among extremists that the West is waging a crusade against Islam. The Australian Defence Force is investigating how to remove biblical references etched on to gunsights, without damaging the weapons. The ADF and military authorities in the US, Britain and elsewhere thought the letters and numbers on the sights were simply stock or model numbers until a US soldier in Afghanistan complained to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation that the initials referred to passage from the Bible. One example was JN8:12 which turned out to be a reference to chapter eight, verse 12 in the Book of John: "When Jesus spoke again to the people he said 'I am the light of the world. While coalition soldiers were unaware of the significance of the initials, military officials quickly became alarmed that religious extremists could take some propaganda advantage from them being proof the West was waging a crusader war against Islam. The ADF confirmed yesterday it had been unaware of the meaning of the inscription when the sights were issued to troops. "The Department of Defence was unaware of the significance of the manufacturer's serial number," the spokesman said. "The sights were procured because they provide mature technology which is highly reliable, in wide use by our allies and best meet Defence requirements. Soldiers are confident in the utility of the sight and the positive and proven effect which it is having on operations." The spokesman said Defence was conscious of the sensitivities over this issue and was assessing how to address them. Another inscription was 2COR4:6, which is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament. The passage reads: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." US military rules prohibit religious proselytising in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn to prevent criticism that the US was on a religious crusade in its war against al-Qa'ida and Iraqi insurgents. The sights are used by US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $US660 million ($725m) multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the US Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the American Army. Trijicon issued a statement saying: "As part of our faith and our belief in service to our country, Trijicon has put scripture references on our products for more than two decades. "As long as we have men and women in danger, we will continue to do everything we can to provide them with both state-of-the-art technology and the never-ending support and prayers of a grateful nation."

Five men who conspired to wage violent jihad in Sydney have shown no remorse for their evil scheme and remain a danger to the public, a court has heard. The men, who cannot be named online for legal reasons, were found guilty by a jury in October of conspiring to do acts in preparation for a terrorist act or acts on Australian soil. In a sentencing hearing, Crown Prosecutor Richard Maidment, QC, has called for three of the men to be jailed for a minimum of 20 years, with longer terms imposed on the two alleged ring-leaders. ``Given that the evidence points to a high level of defiance on the part of these offenders and no evidence of any retraction of their extremist views, we would submit that they are all very poor candidates for rehabilitation and will remain a danger to the public for many years to come,'' Mr Maidment said. Mr Maidment said the men's intentions in stock-piling weapons, ammunition and ingredients to make explosives, which some stored in their homes, was to cause damage to property and pose ``a serious risk to human life.'' ``It is tempting...to say that one can deduce beyond reasonable doubt an intent to kill. However, it is not clear that the accused had reached a final conclusion as to what terrorist act to carry out,'' he said. Lawyers for two of the men argued their clients did not deserve such lengthy sentences. Richard Button, SC, said his client had no prior criminal history and was ``a happy-go-lucky, unsophisticated fellow - one of the boys.'' He said a "stern sentence, but not a disproportionately crushing one'' was in order. He added it was impossible to predict the prospects of his client's rehabilitation ``decades hence.'' "There will be ample time for reflection,'' he said. Representing another of the men, Dina Yehia told the court her client was severely depressed due to the conditions in prison and his wife and children not visiting him for more than a year. She said he had not played a leading role in the conspiracy and had not paid for any of the chemicals or ammunition found in their homes, therefore a sentence of less than 20 years would be more appropriate. Four of the men have been in jail since their arrest in November 2005, with the fifth arrested a month later. The sentencing hearing will resume on Wednesday. Daily Telegraph
Finally, someone is doing something about Eritrea’s support of terrorism. Uganda has written a draft United Nations resolution calling for sanctions on the country for financing and arming the al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia. If passed, arms sales to Eritrea would be outlawed, the assets of members of the government and military would be frozen, and travel bans on officials would be instituted. Any type of military assistance would also be outlawed, and cargo going in and out of the country would be inspected. It all sounds good to me.
Seriously, what does a country have to do to be labeled a State Sponsor of Terrorism? World Threats
The Yemenis have captured an Iranian ship delivering weapons, including “anti-armour weapons,” to the radical Shiite Houthi rebels currently waging war against the government. The crew, consisting of four Iranians and one Indian, have been arrested. The report also adds these details about Iranian involvement: “Earlier on Monday, the independent paper Al Ahali said that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards train Al Houthi rebels in training camps in neighboring Eritrea.
The paper also said that the Iranian revolutionary guards transport the weapons through the Eritrean harbour of Asab, from where it is transported to Yemen’s Midi Harbour.” Tellingly, the ship was stopped off the Midi Harbour coast. This indicts not only the Iranians, but the Eritreans, who I’ve been warning are a new State Sponsor of Terrorism. Source: World Threats
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi authorities have announced the discovery of large quantities of weapons in the capital Riyadh belonging to Al Qaeda terror network. The official Saudi Press Agency quoted an Interior Ministry spokesman Sunday as saying the discovery included 281 assault rifles and 51 ammunition boxes. Gen. Mansour al-Turki says the weapons were found buried in an empty rest house in the capital. He says police are searching for the owners of the house whom they suspects of having links with Al Qaeda. The Al Qaeda terror group, whose leader Usama bin Laden is a Saudi, has called for attacks on the kingdom's oil facilities as a means of crippling both the kingdom's economy and the hurting the West.

An Indian man pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to terrorism charges that include agreeing to sell guns and military equipment in a sting operation to Lebanese Shiite guerrilla group Hezbollah. Patrick Nayyar, a 45-year-old Indian citizen is accused of meeting with an FBI informant posing as working for Hezbollah and agreeing to sell guns, ammunition, vehicles, bulletproof vests and night vision goggles, the US Attorney's Office said. Nayyar appeared in Manhattan federal court and pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment that included conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization as well as illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition. He faces up to 80 years in prison on a combined total of the maximum of each of the five charges. "The government is going to have real difficulty demonstrating any terrorist links," said Nayyar's lawyer, Martin Schmukler, who called the terrorism charges "overblown" and disputed a claim by authorities that his client was an illegal immigrant. Nayyar was arrested on Sept. 24 at his home in New York on separate firearms charges that were dropped. US authorities said an alleged accomplice, British citizen Conrad Stanisclaus Mulholland remains at large in Britain, but Schmukler said he is being detained there. Nayyar and Mulholland met with the informant from July to September this year and agreed to sell various items including a gun, ammunition and a pickup truck, the indictment said. Hezbollah is designated a foreign terrorist organization by the United States.

IDF sources responded to Hizbullah reports that it had uncovered three Israeli "spying devices", saying that the incident was staged by the Lebanese terror group in an attempt to divert attention from the explosion of a weapons cache in Tayr last week, Channel 10 reported on Sunday evening.
Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV station had said a blast that rocked the Wadi Houla area in southern Lebanon on Saturday was apparently caused by the detonation of three "spying devices" that Israel had planted in the area. Al-Manar claimed that after the devices were discovered, at least one was remotely destroyed by the IDF. Lebanese army and UNIFIL troops arrived at the scene amid public panic and began working to destroy one of the devices, the TV station reported. The Voice of Lebanon radio station reported that the explosion following a breach in Hizbullah's secure telecommunications network, which reportedly led to the discovery of two 50-meter cables near an Israeli outpost across the border. According to the Voice of Lebanon, one of the cables had been used for wiretapping, while the other had been used for broadcasting. News agency DPA in Beirut quoted a Lebanese source who suggested that the devices the Lebanese army had detonated were "batteries" belonging to the "espionage device" that had exploded earlier. IDF troops were said to have conducted patrols close to the border later in the day. Hizbullah has for years been claiming to find various forms of "listening" or "spying" devices on Lebanese soil. The IDF Spokesman Office said it was "looking into" Sunday's claims. Source: JPost 
Thousands of weapons caches have been placed in homes scattered in 160 villages in southern Lebanon, senior defense officials said on Tuesday, a day after one such stockpile exploded in the home of a Hizbullah operative in Tayr Filsay, near Tyre. On Tuesday, the IDF released video taken from an Israeli aircraft of the home, which belongs to Abdul Nasser Issa, a low-level Hizbullah operative. The blast took place at around 8 p.m. on Monday, and an hour later Hizbullah men are seen carrying weapons out of the home and loading then onto a truck. In the footage, seven men are seen carrying a four-meter-long device, thought to be a Katyusha rocket or launcher. Hizbullah is thought to have more than 30,000 rockets of various ranges and sizes. The men took several hours to clear the home. For the first few hours, the area was sealed off by Hizbullah and the Lebanese army. Contrary to media reports, Israeli defense sources said on Tuesday that no one was killed by the blast but that one person was lightly injured. The officials also dismissed Hizbullah claims that the explosion was caused by IDF ordinance left behind during the Second Lebanon War in 2006. The Israeli aircraft followed the truck as it drove about 4 km. to another village called Deir Qanoun al-Nahr. There, the truck pulled up at another home and the group of men unloaded the weapons. "Hizbullah uses civilian homes to hide its weaponry," an IDF officer said. "This is a direct violation of UN [Security Council] Resolution 1701." President Shimon Peres spoke Tuesday about the blast and said that Hizbullah had turned Lebanon into a "powder keg" that will - in the end - damage Lebanon. "It is Hizbullah which is endangering Lebanon, not Israel, just as it is Hamas which is endangering the Palestinian people," Peres said.
"We have evacuated all of the territory and are now extending a sincere hand to the Lebanese people. Lebanon could have long since become the Switzerland of the Middle East. It is Hizbullah and Hamas that are preventing this economic flowering and peace and security for the region." Hizbullah acknowledged that the home belonged to one of its members, but would not give any other information. Hizbullah legislator Hussein Haj Hassan said Israel was exaggerating the incident, to "take advantage of it for political interests." Michael Williams, the UN special coordinator for Lebanon, told reporters in Beirut that his mission was concerned about the incident. "We are keeping a close eye on this because of its relevance to Resolution 1701 while waiting for the outcome" of the investigation by UN peacekeepers and the Lebanese army, he said after meeting with Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gabriela Shalev called on Tuesday for an investigation by UN peacekeepers on the explosion in Tayr Filsay. In a letter of complaint sent to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the president of the Security Council, Le Luong Minh of Vietnam. Shalev said Israel has "considerable" reason to believe the house where the explosion took place served as an arms storage facility for Hizbullah. In her letter, Shalev said that in the aftermath of the explosion, Hizbullah operatives sealed off the area and attempted to remove evidence. "Only three months after the explosion of a Hizbullah arms depot in the village of Khirbat Silim, yesterday's explosion is another example [showing] that the Hizbullah terrorist organization possesses illegal weapons in Lebanon, south of the Litani River, in violation of Resolution 1701 as it builds a military infrastructure within the civilian population," Shalev wrote. "The aforementioned incidents leave no doubt regarding Hizbullah's modus operandi to place its military weapons and facilities in civilian villages and houses." The UN Security Council is set to meet on Wednesday, where Palestinian and Arab diplomats are expected to focus on the Goldstone Report, which accuses Israel of war crimes during its offensive against Hamas in Gaza last winter.

Yitzhak Benhorin Israeli ambassador to the UN Gabriella Shalev on Tuesday filed an official complaint with Secretary-General Ban-Ki-moon over what she said was Hezbollah's violation of Security Council resolution 1701, which ended the war between Israel and the Shiite group in 2006. The compliant referred to Monday evening's explosion at the home of a Hezbollah operative in south Lebanon, which according to Israel proved the Shiite group was illegally storing weapons south of the Litani River in violation of the UN resolution.
Shalev mentioned another explosion which took place at a Hezbollah arms cache three months ago. "In the aftermath of the explosion, Hizbullah operatives sealed off the area and, according to reliable information, used two trucks to remove evidence from the scene to a nearby village three kilometers from Tyre Filsi," Shalev wrote in the complaint letter. The ambassador said Hezbollah was using residents of villages in south Lebanon as human shields. "The aforementioned incidents leave no doubt regarding Hizbullah’s modus operandi to place its military weapons and facilities in civilian villages and houses. Such use of civilians as human shields endangers their safety," Shalev wrote. Earlier Tuesday the IDF released footage showing weapons being loaded onto trucks near the home of Hezbollah operative Abdel Nasser Issa in the southern Lebanon village of Tayr Filsi, on the outskirts of Tyre. Issa and his son were reportedly killed Monday evening during an explosion that took place inside their home, which the IDF claims was used to store weapons. Shalev said in the complaint that elements in the Lebanese army were purposely ignoring the rebuilding of Hezbollah's infrastructure, adding that Israel considers the Lebanese government responsible for any incident that occurs in its territory and therefore expects it to take necessary measures to prevent Hezbollah's rearmament in south Lebanon. The ambassador demanded that UNIFIL forces stationed in south Lebanon launch an investigation into Monday's blast and called on the Security Council to address Hezbollah's rearmament when it convenes at the end of the month to discuss the implementation of Resolution 1701. Shalev urged the Security Council to disarm Hezbollah and enforce the weapons embargo on Lebanon.

Some major news about Iranian sponsorship of terrorism on several fronts: CBS News reports on Iran’s dual strategy in Afghanistan: Investing in places like Herat, and supporting destruction in others.
They interview a U.S. special forces operative who describes how they find Iranian-made rockets in Taliban stockpiles, and the report notes that deaths in western Afghanistan are increasing.
Iran is supplying the Taliban with money and weapons, including EFPs, and now, even surface-to-air missiles. MEMRI reports that Yemen’s ruling party claims that the “Iranian cultural attache in Cairo recruits Yemeni students studying in Egypt to train in Iran prior to their joining the Houthis in Yemen. Yemeni Interior Minister Gen. Muther Al-Masri said that there was coordination between Al-Qaeda, the Houthis, and the Southern Movement, which is seeking to declare southern Yemen an independent state.” *Note: There is no evidence that I’m aware of that Al-Qaeda is working with the Houthis or Southern Movement. This statement is probably politically-motivated. However, Iran is supporting both Al-Qaeda and the Houthis in Yemen. The Telegraph reports that six German recruits joining the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan terrorist group traveled to Pakistan via Iran. Spiegel adds that they traveled to Zahedan, a cite frequently reported as an Al-Qaeda transit point. The German newspaper says, “Located close to the border with Pakistan, Zahedan is notorious for its jihad tourism — hotels even set aside entire room allotments for radical foreigners making their way to the city.” With that type of visibility, I highly doubt that the Iranian regime is unaware of what’s going on. If the Spiegel knows, then the regime knows. Source: World Threats 
The United Arab Emirates has seized a cargo of North Korean weapons being shipped to Iran, which would have violated a UN embargo on arms exports from the communist state, Western diplomats say. The UAE reported the incident, which occurred two weeks ago, to the Security Council sanctions committee on North Korea, diplomats said on Friday. The committee sent letters to Tehran and Pyongyang on August 25 informing them of the seizure and demanding a response within 15 days. The weapons seized on August 14 included rocket launchers, detonators, munitions and ammunition for rocket-propelled grenades, it said. The ship, called the ANL-Australia, was Australian-owned and flying a Bahamas flag. "Based on past experience ... we don't expect a very detailed response," one of the diplomats said on condition of anonymity.
The diplomats said the Australian firm whose ship was seized is controlled by a French conglomerate and the actual export was arranged by the Shanghai office of an Italian company. The diplomats did not name any of the firms involved. "The cargo was deceptively labelled," said a diplomat "The cargo manifest said that the ship contained oil boring machines. But then you opened it up and you found these arms." The UAE mission to the UN declined comment on the case.

By YAAKOV KATZ A day after an explosion uncovered a hidden Hizbullah arms cache in southern Lebanon, the IDF's Northern Command estimated that the group had turned hundreds of homes in the area into warehouses to store short- and medium-range Katyusha rockets.
UN peacekeeper monitors the Israeli-Lebanese border The IDF released video footage taken from an Israeli aircraft, showing a home that had exploded on Tuesday in the village of Hirbet Selm - located some 20 kilometers north of the Lebanese border. The roof is seen in the footage with dozens of holes, which IDF ballistic experts said were the size of 122-mm. Katyusha rockets.
UNIFIL said that storing the ammunition was a "serious violation" of the UN-brokered ceasefire that ended the Second Lebanon War in 2006. The peace keeping force said that it considered the incident a "serious violation" of the UN resolution that ended the conflict, which specifies that there should be no presence of unauthorized assets or weapons in the area of operations. Israeli defense officials had also accused Lebanon of violating United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701. "This is a major violation of resolution 1701," one Israeli official said. "The weaponry was stored inside a village and is proof of our longstanding claim that Hizbullah uses civilian infrastructure to hide its weaponry." Contrary to Lebanese media reports which claimed that the cache was hidden in the village before the Second Lebanon War in 2006, Israeli defense officials said that the weaponry was recently placed inside the storehouse. According to the officials, the cache was hidden in a storehouse inside the village and contained dozens of 122mm Katyusha rockets as well as high-powered machine guns. Some of the rockets reportedly flew into the sky. The blast took place at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, and for the first few hours, Hizbullah sealed off the area and refused to grant UNIFIL or the Lebanese army access. IDF sources said that the clearing of the home and the unexploded ordinance had taken over 24 hours. The sources said the IDF had been aware prior to the explosion that the home was being used as a storehouse for weapons. Several months before the explosion, an IDF aircraft captured footage of several senior Hizbullah operatives entering an underground tunnel near the house and reappearing from an exit 700 m. away. "This house was connected to an entire underground network that was built right under the noses of UNIFIL and the Lebanese army," one IDF officer said. "This is a major violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701." The Katyusha rockets that went off in Hirbet Selm were being stored in a two-story home. It was unclear on which floor they were being stored, but the home was shown on Lebanese television in close proximity to other village buildings. In addition to the 122-mm. rockets, IDF ballistic experts said it was likely that the home also contained mortar shells and additional types of ammunition. Source: Jerusalem Post H/T JihadWatch

IRAN is supplying the Taliban in Afghanistan with surface-to-air missiles capable of destroying a helicopter, according to US intelligence sources.
They believe the Taliban want to use the SA-14 Gremlin missiles to launch a "spectacular" attack against coalition forces in Helmand in the southwest of the country, where insurgents claim to be gaining the upper hand.
Although coalition helicopters operating in southern Afghanistan are equipped with defensive systems to deflect an attempted strike, the SA-14 can evade such counter-measures.
It was a shoulder-held SA-14 supplied by Iran that Iraqi insurgents used to shoot down a Lynx helicopter over Basra in May 2006. Five British service personnel died in that attack, including Wing Commander John Coxen and Flight Lieutenant Sarah-Jayne Mulvihill, the first British servicewoman killed in action since World War II.
Although the Iranians are not natural supporters of the Taliban, they have been willing to assist them in the past to prevent Britain and the US gaining influence in the region. Special forces have previously intercepted arms shipments from Iran that would have helped the Taliban intensify a roadside bombing campaign that has killed coalition troops over the past 18 months.
However, coalition forces became aware of the presence of SA-14s only two weeks ago when parts from two of them were discovered during a US operation in western Afghanistan.
"The weapons are out there and we thought it was only a matter of time before they got one or two into the south," said a defence source. "A Taliban spectacular against British or American troops would reinforce an increasing view among ordinary Afghans that the Taliban are gaining the upper hand."
In the past eight months, small arms and rocket-propelled grenade attacks on British helicopters in Helmand have increased.
Reports of the Iranian involvement in Afghanistan came as Pakistan yesterday said it had forced Taliban militants out of Bajaur, one of Pakistan's seven federally administered tribal areas along the Afghan border, and boasted of major gains in another border region.
The six-month battle with Islamist insurgents in the remote Bajaur district was seen as pivotal to Pakistan's fight against al-Qa'ida and the Taliban, after bombings killed more than 1600 people in the area in less than two years.
Nuclear-armed Pakistan's Government launched the Bajaur offensive in August amid heavy criticism from US and Afghan officials, who said Islamabad was not doing enough to stop militants crossing into Afghanistan to attack foreign troops.
Heavy artillery and helicopter gunships have pounded Bajaur in a bid to flush out militant bases, killing hundreds. "We think that we have secured this agency (district)," said Major General Tariq Khan, the commander of Pakistani forces fighting in Bajaur. "They have lost. They have lost their cohesion out here."
A Pakistani army colonel said the military had also beaten back militants in the neighbouring tribal area of Mohmand, also on the Afghan border, where security forces have been waging lower-level offensives.
Pakistan is facing increased US pressure to clamp down on militant hideouts, with US President Barack Obama deploying an extra 17,000 troops to Afghanistan as part of a major shift in its action against global terrorist networks from Iraq to south Asia.
There was no independent verification of the Bajaur victory, but the Taliban see the district as a key strategic district they cannot afford to lose, analysts have said. To the east is Swat, where the Taliban have called an indefinite ceasefire, while on the Afghan side is a long frontier with the Taliban hotspot of Kunar province. Source: The Australian
 By Aaron Klein JAFFA, Israel – Jordan opposed the transfer last week of high-powered assault rifles and bullets to militias associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization, but the country helped facilitate the transfer under U.S. pressure, a Jordanian intelligence official told WND. "There is reason to fear Hamas is planning in the future to take over the West Bank just as it did Gaza," the official said. "And what's stopping Hamas from seizing the American weapons provided to Fatah just like what happened in Gaza?" The official was referring to Hamas' takeover of Gaza in June 2007, when in less than one week it seized near complete control of the territory, overrunning all U.S.-backed Fatah security compounds and positions and reportedly seizing large quantities of U.S. weapons. The official said Jordan, which borders the West Bank and previously administered the territory, is fearful any Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank will ultimately result in Hamas coming to power there. Last week, it was widely reported the U.S. transferred between 900 and 1,000 AK-47 assault rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition to Fatah purportedly to bolster Abbas' group against Hamas. The weapons were trucked in through Jordan and delivered to the West Bank city of Ramallah by the Israel Defense Forces. Read more ...Source: WND
