At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 12, 2002, Israeli intelligence dropped an accidental bombshell during a routine briefing provided by the IDF for the foreign press at the Beit Agron International Press Center.

The IDF official who conducted the briefing mentioned matter-of-factly that Al Qaeda Arab terrorists are now being openly and publicly trained to attack Israel at the Ein Hilwe UNRWA refugee camp in Lebanon.

The US covers 20% of the budget of UNRWA.

At 12:30 p.m. on that same day, March 12, the IDF confirms that Arab terrorists clmbed over the fence on Israel’s northern border and conducted a raid on vehicles that travelled on israel’s Northern road, killing six motorists.

Unofficial sources from Israeli intelligence report that these killers were organized and trained by Al Quaeda terrorists.

Questions for the US:

  1. Will the US examine the assertion that UNRWA, hosts an Al Qaeda training base?
  2. At a time when the US is bombing Al Qaeda bases in Afghanistan, is the US restraining Israel from demolishing the AL Qaeda bases in the UNRWA camps in Lebanon?
