(Ma'ariv) Security forces have arrested Fa'ada Said Abdullah, a 28-year-old divorced Palestinian nurse who works for the Red Crescent, on suspicion of being a Hizballah agent. The suspect confirmed that she has, over the past several months, acted as a liaison with Hizballah on behalf of Haled Shwaish, a wanted terrorist based in Arafat's compound in Ramallah, who is a senior commander in the Tanzim, a terrorist organization affiliated with Arafat's Fatah party. She used her Red Crescent credentials to travel abroad, including Lebanon, where she would meet with Hizballah personnel, acting as a courier between the Lebanese terrorist organization and Ramallah. Security forces have evidence that Arafat knew about these activities and approved them.
