(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular - A senior Palestinian security official told a group of activists from the military wing of Fatah in the Ramallah area that they could either give up their weapons and go home after the Israeli withdrawal from West Bank cities, or they could join the Palestinian security services. He warned that those who did not accept either of these options would find themselves in jail. The official's statement was made in the context of understandings that Israel will cease its efforts to seek out wanted Palestinians from any of the terror organizations in the West Bank. An arrangement will apply to each city with regard to a specific list of wanted men in that city. Palestinian sources say most of the wanted men have already signed up for the PA security services.
