Terrorist Operatives Discovered Aboard Mavi Marmara

On the same day a team of heavily armed terrorists were intercepted en route to Israel from Gaza via the sea, authorities released a list of five known terrorist operatives who were aboard the Mavi Marmara.

The five operatives in question had undertaken a range of activities on behalf of various terrorist organizations, taking on such tasks as financing, combatant training, and smuggling:

Fatimah Mahmadi (born 1979), is a United States resident of Iranian origin, and an active member of the organization "Viva Palestine" – she attempted to smuggle forbidden electronic components into the Gaza Strip.

Ken O'Keefe (born 1969), an American and British citizen, is a radical anti-Israel activist and operative of the Hamas terror organization. He attempted to enter the Gaza Strip in order to form and train a commando unit for the Palestinian terror organization.

Hassan Iynasi (born 1982), a Turkish citizen and activist in a Turkish charity organization, is known of providing financial support to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization.

Hussein Urosh, a Turkish citizen and activist in the IHH organization, was on his way to the Gaza Strip in order to assist in smuggling Al-Qaeda operatives via Turkey into the Strip.

Ahmad Umimon (born 1959), is a French citizen of Moroccan origin, and an operative of the Hamas terrorist organization.

It is important to note that Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad each have an extensive record of suicide bombings – and remain banned terrorist organizations in Canada and the United States.
