Feb. 12, 2004 Red Crescent nurse caught aiding terror By JPOST.COM STAFF
Security forces have arrested a nurse with the Palestinian Red Crescent organization on suspicion of helping terrorists hiding out in Yasser Arafat's Ramallah Mukata headquarters to organize attacks against Israelis.
The woman, arrested Wednesday, was identified as Sadah Said Ahmed Abdullah, 27, from Ramallah, Israel Radio reported. She is divorced, the mother of a child, and is a Jerusalem resident.
During her interrogation, she reportedly admitted helping a senior Fatah Tanzim fugitive and known murderer, Khaled Jamal Shuwish, plan terrorist attacks for the past few months. Shuwish is known to be hiding at the Mukata.
Abdullah was Shuwish's go-between with Hizbullah contacts in Lebanon, who were financing and planning attacks against Israeli targets, according to Israel Radio.
She reportedly told interrogators that Shawaish was planning a suicide bombing against Israelis in the near future.
Israeli security sources said that other Tanzim members were similarly planning attacks, using Arafat's headquarters as their base of operations. The sources said that the Tanzim is preparing terrorist cells with Hizbullah and Iranian financing.
