A report was published by Britain's National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) estimating the Palestinian Liberation Organization's (PLO) loot in a 1993 briefing paper on organizations threatening Great Britain, calling it the richest of all terrorist organizations. Investigation of Arafat and the PA's wealth in November 1995, by the U.S. General Accounting Office, was kept secret because the Central Intelligence Agency insisted that the publicity would hurt the national security interest. Last year, at least $45 million per month was transferred directly to Arafat, most notably from the Saudis and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, not to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people, but to fund PLO terrorist training and organizations.
