Flotilla Lynchers Have Ties to Global Jihad


(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The ongoing interrogation of passengers who were aboard the Marmara - the Gaza aid flotilla's flagship - revealed that the majority of those who attacked the Israeli Navy commandos boarding the ship have direct and indirect Global Jihad ties, mainly to al-Qaeda. Israel's investigation has revealed some 100 people infiltrated the activists with the explicit design to attack Israeli soldiers. The majority of suspects are Turks, but some are Yemenites and Indonesians. The suspects are not cooperating with investigators and most of them have no identification papers. Nevertheless, it is clear that the majority were recruited by the same IHH handlers who organized the flotilla. - Ron Ben-Yishai (Ynet News) The ongoing interrogation of passengers who were aboard the Marmara - the Gaza aid flotilla's flagship - revealed that the majority of those who attacked the Israeli Navy commandos boarding the ship have direct and indirect Global Jihad ties, mainly to al-Qaeda.
