"We have information that the British & Americans left the prison this AM"

[DoYouEverWonder]

Why did the Israelis raid a prison in Jericho this morning that is run by the British and the Americans???

Couldn't they just go over and ask the British and Americans to hand over the prisoners in question?

WTF is going on here?



Israeli troops storm Jericho jail

Tuesday 14 March 2006

A spokesman for the Palestinian interior ministry in Gaza City said the British and the Americans had left the premises shortly before the operation began.

"We have information that the British and Americans left the prison this morning," Tawfiq Abu Khussa told AFP.

Palestinian prisoners were ordered to strip down to their underwear "The Americans and British left 15 minutes before the operation started. The Israelis asked the police and security forces to drop their weapons and not resist. If they refused, they said they would assault the compound," he said.

"We warn Israel against any incursion in the prison because it is under American and British control by international agreement."

1. 15 minutes after the Brits and yanks left? How convenient.

Collusion? Naaah..we Americans and our Brit pals are way to "honorable" to do anything like that.

2. No, there is no axis of collusion between the UK, US, and Israel. Nah,

couldn't be. All three are way too honorable to collude.
