Israel detains Al-Jazeera reporter alleging ties with Hamas

Palestine Information Center – 16/08/2011

JENIN — Al-Jazeera’s bureau chief in Afghanistan Samer Allawi is being held by Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet for alleged affiliation to Hamas.

An Israeli military court extended Allawi’s term of detention on Tuesday after Shin Bet filed an indictment against him alleging that he is affiliated to Hamas and had relations with some of the commanders of its armed wing.

Allawi has denied all charges, saying the Israeli authorities were trying to produce fraudulent charges and that his arrest was actually based on his work as a reporter. He said interrogations focused on his professional work, social ties, and financial affairs.

The defense has refuted the possibility of Shin Bet having any evidence to support the charges.
Allawi, 46, was arrested while departing from the West Bank on Tuesday Aug. 9 after a three-week visit to his home village of Sebastia northwest of Nablus city.

He told the lawyer of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society last week that the Israeli intelligence tried to recruit him and that when he refused to work with them he was threatened with being accused of something serious.

  1. Outrageous obviously, but apparently not an aberration unique to the Zionist occupation forces in Palestine.

    As reported here on Aletho News last month, the methodology is identical as that suffered by the great and distinguished professor of law, and attorney who has represented the Palestinians, Francis A. Boyle in 2004.:

    ‘Federal agents from the FBI and CIA/FBI Joint Terrorist Task Force tried to get a distinguished international lawyer to inform on his Arab and Muslim clients in violation of their Constitutional rights to attorney-client privilege, this reporter has learned. When the lawyer refused, he said the FBI placed him on a ‘terrorist watch list.’ Below is the beginning of that article with the URL following.:

When the lawyer refused, he said the FBI placed him on a “terrorist watch list.”
    Law professor Francis Boyle gave a chilling account of how, in the summer of 2004, two agents showed up at his office (at the University of Illinois, Champaign,) “unannounced, misrepresented who they were and what they were…….’

    We must ask ourselves who gave that order to the FBI/CIA agents in 2004. Was it Deputy Attorney General Michael Chertoff and or, Secretary of State Colin Powell or Condolisa Rice after his resignation in 2004?

    Or was it Ariel Sharon getting George W. Bush to give the order himself?

    And if so, what difference would it make to President Obama that Al-Jazeera’s bureau chief in Afghanistan Samer Allawi is being held by Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet. Obama would not criticize Netanyahu anymore than he does that the Mossad perpetrated 9/11 with the full cooperation of the Bush white house and pentagon; apparently – nothing at all!
