Abu al-Abbas: front will resume confrontations with Israel

The secretary general of the Palestinian liberation front Mahmoud Abbas (Abu al-Abbas) on Thursday announced that the front will resume confrontations with " the Israeli enemy and will continue operations against it."

In a meeting with the Iraqi al-Shabab TV which is run by the son of the Iraqi President Ode Saddam Hussein, Abu al-Abbas added that the " call made by President Saddam Hussein to open the door for volunteering is an order to fight for us." He added " I would like to make assurances to our people and brothers in Iraq that the Fedayeen ( fighters) activities of the PLO will be shortly resumed."

Abu al-Abbas said that the " current uprising has returned back things to its right track and placed the Palestinian citizen into his right place," warning against " American attempts to contain this Intifada under any pretexts."

The Palestine Liberation Front carried out in the past several operations, and the main one was seizing the French ship " Akeli laro" in 1985 and the killing of one of its 400 passengers. Since then Washington announced a prize of US$ 20 million for arresting Abu al-Abbas.
