(Jerusalem Post) - Former PA Gaza security chief Muhammad Dahlan has resigned as Yasser Arafat's national security adviser to protest the delay in implementing reforms in the PA. According to the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper, Dahlan told a group in Gaza City that he had advised Arafat to stop the intifada after the September 11 attacks. He also described the Palestinian people as a "mob" inclined to radicalism and rejection, and Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi as the "leader of the local Taliban. He thinks that he's Mullah Omar."
