Arafat planned PA terror campaign ("Intifada," 2000-2005) for 3 months

Imad Faluji, PA Minister of Communications: "Whoever thinks that the Intifada started because of the hated Sharon's visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque is mistaken. That was only the straw breaking the Palestinian people's patience. This Intifada was already planned since [Arafat] the President returned from the recent talks at Camp David [July 2000]."
