An identical article was published on Aug. 25, 2016, on the website of the Palestinian Scout Association. Included with the article was a picture of terrorist Baha Alyan in a scouting uniform.
The picture was not included in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida when it apparently copied the article, evidenced by the fact that it incorrectly opened with the word “yesterday” according to the date of the article on the scouting website.
The Palestinian Scout Association was “conditionally recognized” without voting rights as a Member Organization of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1996. It was declared a full member with voting rights on Feb. 27, 2016.
Baha Alyan and Bilal Ghanem – 22 and 23-year-old Palestinian terrorists who on Oct. 13, 2015, boarded a bus in Jerusalem's Armon Hanatziv neighborhood with a gun and a knife and attacked passengers, killing Israelis Chaim Haviv (78) and Alon Govberg (51), and Richard Lakin (76), and wounding 3 Israelis. Alyan was shot and killed by an Israeli security guard at the scene and Ghanem, a Hamas terrorist who served time in Israeli prison in 2013-2014, was wounded. Ghanem is serving 3 life sentences and an additional 60 years for these murders.
