Subject: Acronyms Query

Dear friends
I am looking for acronyms and abbreviations that are created in
Arabic and not borrowed.
An example of the first is wafaa (wikaalat filisteen lil-anbaa)
'Palestine News Agency'
an example of the second is al-yonisko (UNISCO)

Any ideas or examples?

Thanks
Sattar
