(Maariv) Amir Rapaport - A secret report prepared by the Israeli security services accuses the UN aid organization UNRWA of "aiding terror." The organization, whose task is to assist in the health, education, and welfare of refugees, actually provides an infrastructure for terrorist activities, with UNRWA facilities frequently used by terrorists as havens. The report tells of UNRWA ambulance driver Nidal Nazal, arrested 5 months ago, who admitted using his ambulance to transport ammunition and messages between terrorist groups. Ala Hassan, a Tanzim terrorist arrested 9 months ago, said that ammunition was stored and target practice was held in the UNRWA school in Nablus. Nahad Atalla also admitting using an UNRWA vehicle to transport terrorists on their way to attacks. The report further states that UNRWA has a policy of hostility toward Israel and the IDF is willing to recognize only those workers who are foreigners and not Palestinian residents of the territories.
