The IRA has been giving the Palestinians a few lessons in terrorism, a British explosives expert working in the Jenin refugee camp has told a London newspaper.
He found that booby-trap bombs designed for use against Israeli soldiers were identical in every detail to those he had seen in Northern Ireland. Paul Collinson, a former Royal Engineers bomb-disposal officer, said he discovered more than 200 explosives in the Jenin camp – and was convinced they were either supplied by the IRA or made under their supervision.
