Palestinian Problem? Nah it's Iran!

Associated Press Saturday February 26, 2005 (as reported in the Guradian)

Palestinian security forces have arrested at least three suspected militants in connection with a suicide bombing that killed four Israelis at a Tel Aviv nightclub, acting on orders from Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to track down and punish those responsible.

Palestinian security officials pointed to the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah, which has been trying to disrupt an informal Mideast truce, as the apparent mastermind of the attack. Abbas hinted at Hezbollah involvement, holding a "third party" responsible for the bombing.

Hezbollah, which is funded by Iran, has hundreds of West Bank gunmen from various Palestinian militant groups on its payroll.

Pete's Points:

Of course if this story is true then everyone else has got it wrong and it's really the Iranians who fund the Hamas organisation that the Palestinians themselves think did the job.
