	Weapons Found on 'Karine-A' and 'Santorini'
		The task was the takeover of the weapons-laden 'Karine A'.
		The captain of the Karine-A was Omar Ashawi, a FATAH activist since 1976, Lt-Col in the PA's "Naval Police", and its adviser on maritime affairs.
		Several other members of the Karine-A's crew were "Naval Police" officers; the rest were Egyptian sailors, who may or may not have not known of the contraband aboard.

	IDF Seizes PA Weapons Ship
		According to IDF Chief of General Staff Shaul Mofaz, IDF commandoes took over Karine A, a 4,000-ton freighter captained by a high-ranking PA naval policeman without a single shot being fired.
		The Karine A was purchased in Lebanon and then sent to Sudan, where it picked up 20 tons of watermelon and sesame seeds.
		On October 18, 2004, an Israeli military court sentenced the captain of the Karine A, Omar Muhammad Hassan Akawi, to 25 years in prison.

		But so nervous was Mofaz that he might authorize an unwarranted attack hundreds of kilometers from his country's territorial waters, he himself needed to confirm the letters hand-painted on the side of the ship.
		It was, as intelligence had said it would be, the Karine-A. Within minutes, Israeli naval commandos operating from both sea and air boarded the ship, surprised the crew, and took control without firing a shot.
		The magnitude of the weapons cache notwithstanding, the strategic implication of the Karine-A lies less in the lethality of its cargo than in the identity of the unlikely partnership that implemented the smuggling scheme.

	Israel Captures Weapons Bound For Palestinian Authority
		The Karine A - a ship laden with rocket launchers, anti-tank grenades, mortars, powerful C-4 explosives and armor piercing assault rifles - was midway through its carefully planned mission of subterfuge when it was overtaken by Israeli commandos in the Red Sea.
		The captain of the Karine A, a Palestinian naval officer in command of a Palestinian Authority-owned vessel, was in radio contact with a high-ranking official in the PA police.
		The seizure of the Karine A raises crucial questions about the true face of Palestinian leadership, about sponsors of terrorism in the Middle East, and about the long-term approach for the United States in seeking a resolution to the conflict.

	Karine A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Karin A (also Karine A) was a 4,000 ton freighter intercepted by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on January 3, 2002 carrying a wide variety of light arms.
		While the ship itself was worth an estimated $400,000 and the civilian cargo used to conceal the weapons approximately $3,000,000, the weapons were reportedly purchased for approximately $15,000,000.
		It was renamed from "Rim K" to "Karine A" when it was registered in Tonga on September 12th.

	Last Laugh Mu
		Karine warns her to leave her alone, but since her movements are more or less limited to rocking the stocks a bit and looking back at Judith, her threats are rather hollow.
		Karine is simply lying on her back on the bed, spread-eagled, her wrists tied to two posts and her ankles cuffed to each end of a kind of short spreader bar, itself tied to the other two posts.
		Karine is just fine, of course, and she's given a break in the sense that Judith moves to her feet.

	Iran and the Karine A
		One should note that the hardly reassuring best-case scenario represented by the Karine-A is that the PA is only using Iranian military assistance in a military campaign to win Palestinian independence in the 1967 borders.
		The weapons on board the Karine-A vessel--which the Palestinian Authority denies were headed its way--included Katyusha rockets intended for use against Israeli towns and more than 11/2 tons of explosives, which Israeli military intelligence agencies suspect may have been earmarked for car bombings or suicide attacks.
		And the revelation by the captain of the Karine-A of Hezbollah involvement in transferring the weapons onto the vessel at least suggests that the Lebanese terrorist group served as an intermediary between the Palestinians and the Iranians.

	"KARINE A AFFAIR" DELAYS ZINNI'S RETURN TO ISRAEL
		In the latest developments on the Karine A, sources in US intelligence confirmed to the Washington Times that they provided Israel with "crucial" assistance in helping track down the freighter, which left Iranian waters on the way to the Suez Canal.
		Citing unnamed American intelligence officers, the newspaper said Israel approached the CIA last month with a request for help in locating a vessel carrying 50 tons of arms believed destined for the PA, which was seized by Israeli naval commandos in the Red Sea on January 3.
		The Karine-A was carrying long-range Katyusha rockets, anti-tank missiles, small arms and 3,000 pounds of high-grade explosives.

	The strange affair of Karine A \| World dispatch \| Guardian Unlimited
		One of the conclusions they were supposed to draw from this was that the EU should reconsider its funding of the authority.
		If it were officially approved, the Karine A would not have picked up the weapons at night from another ship near Kish: it would have gone straight to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas and loaded its cargo openly.
		The Karine A affair has already been invoked as grounds for the overthrow of Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, and for not resuming the peace process.

	Arafat, the Karine A, and demilitarisation
		Then Gerald Steinberg of Bar Ilan University points out the Karine A puts a dent in one of the major arguments assumptions of most presumed Israeli-Palestinian peace deals, the assumption that a Palestinian state can be demilitarised so as not to be a threat to Israel.
		In this environment, the capture of the Karine-A, with its haul of illegal weapons, is the last nail in the coffin of the Oslo process.
		The vessel, Karine A, is owned by the Palestinian Authority and its captain and several crew are members of the Palestinian naval police.

		As Israeli, American and even European officials confirmed, (1) the karine-A was a joint undertaking of Yasir Arafat's Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Islamic Republic of Iran, facilitated through the good offices of the Lebanese terrorist organization Hizballah.

	It All Points to Arafat
		At 4:45 in the morning of Jan. 3, the 4,000-ton freighter Karine A was cruising in the Red Sea less than 300 miles from Israel.
		The Karine A's captain, Omar Akawi, an officer in Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority miniature navy, was asleep in his bunk, as was most of the 13-man crew.
		The evidence is close to overwhelming that the Karine A mission was financed and organized at the highest levels of the Palestinian Authority, most likely sanctioned by Arafat himself -- and that Arafat allowed the mission to proceed after he called for cessation of all armed actions against Israel on Dec. 16.

		The jailed captain of the captured Karine A weapon-loaded ship declared today that a Palestinian Authority official in Greece sent him to bring the ship through the Red Sea to PA-controlled shores.
		On January 3, the Israeli Navy seized control over the Karine A ship that was sailing in international waters on its way to the Suez Canal.
		The captured ship, the Karine-A, was reportedly purchased in October 2000 - just months after the end of the Camp David summit and at the same time Arafat was pledging his first cease-fire to Ehud Barak, Bill Clinton, Hosni Mubarak, and Kofi Annan at the Sharm e-Sheikh summit.

	Die Welt: Saudis paid for Karine A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Berlin - DIE WELT is informed that influential Saudi Arabian circles paid for the contraband vessel "Karine A" to carry weapons to Arafat's authority.
		The "Karine A" was fully laden with 50 tons of weapons from Iran, on the way to its Palestinian addressees.
		The involvement of Saudi business circles--among them members of the royal family, as well as Saudi intelligence--in the "Karine A" affair sheds a new light on the already long-disturbed political relationship between the USA and its partner at the Gulf.
