Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israeli
police have smashed a ring
of Palestinian counterfeiters
who are suspected of having
circulated some 1 million
shekels (roughly $400,000)
in fake money throughout
the country.
The aim of the ring may
have been both to raise
funds for terrorist and na-
tionalist organizations and
to destabilize the Israeli cur-
rency.
The group also printed
false documents and per-
mits, which were supplied to
Palestinians.
The operation was shut
down last week when police,
in a predawn raid, swooped
down on a printing press in
Jerusalem's El- Rom
district, where the
counterfeiting activities
were centered.
Police and army units ar-
rested the press's owners,
brothers Najer Abu Kader,
22, and Awad Abu Kader,
30, at their homes.
A still undetermined
number of counterfeit
driver's licenses, family
reunification permits, in-
surance policies and other
documents for Palestinian
residents of the ad-
ministered territories were
also allegedly produced at
the Salem Printing Press.
The nine presses and three
copying machines were
capable of producing tens of
millions of dollars in
counterfeit currency and
vast numbers of false docu-
ments.

Police announced the ar-
rests and raid a week after
the Bank of Israel warned
the public to be on guard
against "top quality" fake
100 shekel ($40) bills.
The press was also used to
produce intifada pamphlets,
which the owners told police
interrogators they were
forced to produce by intifada
activists.
Police sources said they
were still investigating
whether terrorist organiza-
tions were behind the entire
counterfeiting operation.
The investigation which
led to the discovery of the
fakers' operation was spark-
ed by intelligence informa-
tion received by the police
some six weeks ago.
As the raid on the press

was taking place, other
police units simultaneously
raided locations in the near-
by village of Jaba, where the

brothers were believed to be
hiding some of the fake
money.
Nearly 200,000 shekels
($82,000) in fake bills was
found.
Police said the raid was
launched after they were
tipped off that the brothers
planned to begin producing a
large quantity of fake bills
in the coming days.
They said more arrests
could be expected.

Murder Suspects
Are Arrested

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Five Pa-
lestinians have been ar-
rested for the brutal murder
last month of an Israeli
lawyer who was working in
the European Community's
aid office in the Gaza Strip.
A sixth man implicated in
the killing has escaped
across the nearby Egyptian
border, the army has re-
ported.
One of the men arrested,
Rifat Ali Mohammed Aruki,
23, from the Sheikh Radwan
neighborhood of Gaza City,
was a guard who worked at a
nearby office and knew the
victim, Ian Feinberg, per-
sonally.
The South African-born
mr. Feinberg would travel
regularly from his Tel Aviv
law firm to the offices of the
E.C., one of his clients.
Mr. Feinberg and Mr.
Aruki knew each other, and
Mr. Feinberg even supplied
his eventual killer with free
legal advice after Mr. Aruki
was caught inside Israel
without a permit.
Mr. Aruki was a guard at
the offices of the Cooperation
for Development organiza-
tion, a British-run economic
aid office which provided
loans for small businessmen.
Mr. Aruki was presumably
able to supply the other gang
members with advance news
of Mr. Feinberg's work
schedule in Gaza.
It was the arrest last week
of Mohammed Sakara, 22, of
the Bureij refugee camp in
Gaza, that led the army to
crack open the case.
It is believed that it was
the information he provided
which led troops to Mr.
Feinberg's killers.
The two men directly
responsible for the killing
were picked up last week,
Mr. Aruki and Omar Issa
Rajib, 19.
