The Sunday Telegraph reported today that agents of El Fatah, the Palestinian commando organization, are believed to have been responsible for planting fire-bombs in three Jewish-owned stores in London in recent weeks.
One of the bombs started a fire in the basement of a Marks & Spencer store on July 18. The firm is one of Britain’s largest retail chains and its directors have been closely associated with the Zionist movement and Israel. The other bombings occurred in West End and East End shops. In one case a plaque was fastened to the door saying: “this is the work of El Fatah.”
