'Quality' killer? Get hundreds of thousands of dollars

The Palestinian Authority has paid in recent years hundreds of thousands of dollars to each of the heavy security prisoners jailed in Israel, many of them Hamas members responsible for deadly attacks in Israel. This was exposed this afternoon by Tal Berger, Palestinian affairs correspondent on Israel Radio network B.

Official documents of the Palestinian Authority first published online on Monday, indicate that the cargo engineer of Hamas, Abdullah Baraghouti, who was sentenced to 67 life sentences, has received more than a quarter million from the PA. The one who served as head of the Hamas military wing in the West Bank, Ibrahim Hamad, who was sentenced to 54 life sentences, received a salary of $200,000. The two are involved in several notable suicide attacks during the second intifada, the terrorist attack at Cafe Moment, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Sbarro restaurant and the Sheffield Club in Rishon Letzion.

Muhammad Arman, a member of Hamas who serves as the head of the organization's leadership in jail, was sentenced to 36 life sentences, earned by 2012 a quarter of a million dollars. Members of the Silwan cell, responsible for several serious attacks in Jerusalem in the last decade, received a quarter of a million to 300,000 shekels each.

Documents obtained by Israel Radio detail salaries for security forces of the Palestinian Authority who made attacks during the second intifada still imprisoned in Israel.

Ashraf Al Ajrami, the PA Minister of Prisoners had said that the money was intended for the benefit of families of the prisoners. He said that the Palestinians see them as heroes and freedom fighters.
