Also discovered was an Arabic translation of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” with a foreword by Yasir Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The documents have been studied closely by Israeli military intelligence and details of them are expected to be released shortly, informed sources told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
