Cork Nurse infiltrates Church of the Nativity- with food, aid.

Just recived this from another friend of Mary. What the UN or CNN won't tell us, Mary sure as hell will. This woman better be on the Late Late when she gets home.

2nd May 2002 stop press 6.0 p.m. Irish time - Mary Kelly rang approx. one hour ago from INSIDE the besieged Nativity Church in Bethlehem. Herself and 10 others out of 20 who attempted to enter managed to get in. She has a cellular phone, Mary is determined to stay inside until the situation of threat and starvation changes. That is all we know for now.

MARY KELLY has just phoned (again) from inside the besieged Church of the Nativity to tell how she got in. The strategy was: two groups, one to create a diversion while the other got in with food and medicine. She was in the diversion group. While they were being surrounded and arrested, she glanced towards the door of the church and saw it was unguarded and dived over quickly and got in! They managed to get in some rice and lentils - whether enough for the 200 people in there, we don't know. She says someone high up in the Palestinian Administration phoned in to congratulate them on what they are doing for his people.
