Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian Negotiation
The IRA [Irish Republican Army] had been teaching Palestinian terrorists to build booby-trap bombs for use against Israeli soldiers.Whilst working for the Red Cross several devices I found were identical to those I encountered in Northern Ireland.I discovered more than 200 explosive devices while working in the area.I am convinced the bombs were either supplied by the IRA or made under their supervision at camp there. Many Provo's are known to have been in the area throughout the seventies and eighties. There has always been a close working link between the two groups.Skilled Irishmen visiting the area were feared by the Israeli forces.
