" French officials who have been following Yasser Arafat's treatment were astonished to discover that Suha Arafat's constant companion and financial adviser was none other than Pierre Rizk, who headed the intelligence service of the Phalanga during the Lebanese civil war and was in close personal contact with the guerrilla group responsible for the massacre at the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camp in 1982. Rizk has been spotted in or near Percy Hospital in recent days. Since Rizk holds power of attorney for Suha Arafat, French and Palestinian officials have been in constant contact with him over Suha Arafat's financial demands, which she says are designed to ensure the financial future of her and her daughter. The outcome of these contacts is still not clear. ... Because of his position within the Phalangas, he has extensive contacts with several international intelligence agencies. Living in Paris since his exile from Lebanon, Rizk is an international businessman with operations in Europe and the United States. In 1999, Rizk won a legal suit he filed in the U.S. courts against the PA. The suit, which created quite a stir in financial circles in the PA, was based on a promise made to Rizk by Yasser Arafat just before the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, that he would be granted the license to develop the communications infrastructure in the West Bank. Rizk obtained a note, signed by Arafat, in which he undertook to award the contract to International Technology Integrated (ITI), a company incorporated in the U.S. --br-- At the same time, it now appears that Arafat was handing out similar notes to many other people and companies, promising them jobs, tenders and contracts in his future government. In practice, none of these promises were ever fulfilled. Unlike other disappointed parties, Rizk decided to sue Arafat for violating his word, and was awarded $18 million. As a result, American banks froze $80 million of the PA's money, threatening its stability. The crisis was eventually ended when the PA sent envoys Paris to negotiate a settlement. "

(nel frattempo il rais è morto, non si sa di cosa, non che mi importi ma persino la corte imperiale giapponese diffonde bollettini medici)
Bravo milton, ho letto che P. Rizk era, con E. Hobeika, il comandante dell'esercito falangista ai tempi di Sabra e Chatila.

Mi scuso per l'OT, ma, come da etichetta, uso lo spazio commenti dell'ultimo post per comunicarle:
sono spiacente per lei, è stato linkato.
PS: c'è il link all'immagine del MoOM da risistemare.

Krazie kekule ( ho delle immagini temporaneamente invisibili ma la cosa, che non dipende da me, dovrebbe risolversi in qualche minuto )
Avy, anche a me questa notizia sembra importante. Escludo che un leader israeliano avrebbe mai concesso appalti e tenuto legami d'affari con uno con le mani sporche di sangue di migliaia di suoi compatrioti. Naturalmente il boia di Sabra e Chatila resta Sharon invece con gli assassini maroniti si sta culo e camicia...
Pucci, ovviamente la nuova balla è che il rais è stato avvelenato dagli israeliani. Presto qualche imbecille andrà a menare le mani, come al solito.
