Last Exiled Palestinian Leaves Cyprus for Mauritania
(Ha'aretz/AP) Abdullah Daoud, 41, the last of a dozen Palestinians exiled to Cyprus by Israel in May to end a month-long siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, was escorted Monday to Mauritania, the only Arabic-speaking country willing to take him in. Daoud was the Palestinian Authority's intelligence chief in Bethlehem and is accused of organizing attacks on Israelis, making explosives, smuggling weapons, and providing shelter to members of terrorist groups.
