Israeli authorities on Tuesday seized 2,000 cell phones found in the car of senior Palestinian official and Abbas aide Rawhi Fattuh - who enjoys VIP status - as he was returning from Jordan, IDF military spokesman Peter Lerner said on Wednesday.

Jihad Watch points out that there are "[a]ll kinds of things you can do with cell phones -- including setting up a bomb to be set off from afar. Of course, maybe he just wanted to call 2,000 Western officials to beg for more money and aid."
