Al-Jazeera Started This--Now PA Intends To Get Last Leaks

Looks like the Palestinian Authority has some documents of their own they are going to leak, that put Qatar--home of Al-Jazeera--in a bad light:

Ramallah, Asharq Al-Awsat – Senior Palestinian sources have informed Asharq Al-Awsat that the Palestinian Authority is in possession of important documents that condemn Qatar with regards to numerous issues relating to the Palestinian – Israeli negotiations.


The source, who spoke to Asharq Al-Awsat on the condition of anonymity, refused to give the precise details of these documents, describing them only as being "grave." The source also revealed that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has prevented these documents from being published quickly, as some Palestinian officials wanted, in response to the "Palestine papers" leaked by the Qatari Al Jazeera channel...

Al Jazeera continue to publish leaked documents relating to the Israeli – Palestinian negotiations, with the latest information accusing the Palestinian Authority of being responsible for the death of resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip.

This is in addition to the PA's threat that they will sue Al-Jazeera.

I have no idea what kind of papers the PA may have that might be embarrassing to Qatar, but this would be the first case in the Wikileaks era of one leaking documents in retaliation--not including revelations in documents released about Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, himself.

It will be interesting to see how far--and how embarrassing--this gets.
