PA: Mossad set up fake al Qaeda cell in Gaza Strip
The Palestinian Authority accused Israel's Mossad spy agency on Saturday of setting up a fake al Qaeda cell in Gaza so that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon could justify Israeli attacks in Palestinian areas.

So....is a "big, big, big, big" lie worse than a "big, big , big" lie? Or is it just bigger?

You all are forgetting Arafat's Parkinson's-like bumbling English. He probably just forgot what he was saying a few times and the reporters kept writing.
