Here’s an under-reported event that just might help push the “Palestinian Authority” (PA) to start cleaning up the terrorists who still roam free in the West Bank and Gaza:

A federal court in the US has frozen all the assets held by the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the country. The ruling by the court in Rhode Island comes after the authority failed to compensate relatives of a Jewish couple shot dead by Hamas militants in 1996.

Both the PA and Hamas were ordered to compensate the family, under a American law allowing suits against groups responsible for killing US citizens.

The Palestinian envoy in Washington said the order paralyses his office.

The PA's assets in the US are reported to be worth at least $1.3bn. …

The head of the PA office in Washington, Hasan Abdel Rahman said he has been unable to pay employees for the past three months.

"It paralyzes the function of the office, and I think that is the intention of the plaintiffs," he told AP news agency after the latest decision.

Are we to feel sorry for Rahman and his “employees?” Remember that the PA has been caught red-handed funding terrorists. Under fearless leader Arafat, the PA stole lots of UN, US, European aid money.

Let us hope these funds stay frozen until the PA starts reigning in members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, etc., etc.
