Background:
UK/EU: Thousands of Palestinian terrorists/suicide bombers given aid money (Daily Mail)
The Daily Mail further reports:

Kristine Luken |
Two
Palestinian terrorists who repeatedly stabbed a British woman in a
brutal attack and killed her friend are now each receiving at least
£9,000 in ‘blood money’ every year with the help of UK aid.
Kay Wilson was left for dead in an orgy of violence in Jerusalem in which Kristine Luken, an American, was killed. The attackers were eventually caught and, after admitting their crimes, were sent to prison.
But Ms
Wilson was horrified to learn from news reports that her assailants were
being paid a monthly stipend equivalent to £750 each effectively from
the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Last
week The Mail on Sunday exposed how ‘reward’ payments are going via the
PA to thousands of terrorists and to hundreds of other prisoners in
Israeli jails.
Ms
Wilson, 51, and her friend were hiking in the Judean Hills in 2010 when
the two men pounced on them, believing both women to be Jewish,
although Miss Luken was Christian. After tying the women up the
terrorists launched a savage attack.
Miss Luken
died from her stab wounds. Miss Wilson still bears a seven-inch scar on
her stomach and, more than five years on, breathing still causes her
pain.

Ms Wilson's injuries |
Ms Wilson said: ‘We were held for 30 minutes at knife point then gagged and bound before being butchered with machetes.
‘I
watched my friend chopped up before my eyes, and only survived because I
played dead, despite being stabbed 13 times and having over 30 bones
broken by the sheer force of the blows.
‘Each time he plunged his machete into me I could hear my bones crunch, and also my flesh ripping from the serrated blade. They
left, only to return moments later and roll me over, and I watched him
plunge the knife into my chest, just missing my heart.’ [...]
The
Department for International Development (DFID) denies that any British
cash reaches terrorists and says its payments to the PA are
‘ring-fenced’ for specific projects.
Critics
point out that the money from the UK and other Western countries frees
up other funds to be passed on to the terrorists. Our investigation
found Britain funded the PLO until last year. Former prisoners and the families of terrorists we spoke to confirmed receiving cash from both the PA and the PLO.
Miss
Wilson believes that while the ‘blood money’ issue has been aired in
Israel it is only now being taken seriously in the West. ‘This is why
your investigation is so important,’ she said.
The Mail on Sunday tried to contact the PA but our messages were not responded to.
