EU Releasing Terrorists Back Into Disputed Territories

Nothing is surprising, not even this bit from Amish Tech Support on the EU releasing terrorists into the West Bank and Gaza.

Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Nabil Sha'ath says he has a commitment from the EU to return to the territories Palestinians expelled from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem over a year ago, reports Israel Radio.

After a five-week standoff in May 2002, the 123 Palestinian gunmen who had been holed up inside the church were released.

Thirteen Palestinians described by Israel as 'having blood on their hands' were flown on a British military plane to Larnaca in Cyprus, which served as a transit port to six European nations that agreed to accept the fugitives.

Twenty-six Palestinians were taken by bus to Gaza City, where they returned to a heroes' welcome. The remaining 84 Palestinians were released to their homes.

Nabil Sha'ath claims that the arrangement reached with the European Union are set to expire after one year.
