(Jerusalem Post) Adam Rasgon - Palestinian Authority security forces on Tuesday arrested Ahmad Halawa, a former PA police captain and leader of the al-Aksa Martyrs Brigade who was the suspected mastermind behind the killing last Thursday of two PA security officers in the Nablus Casbah in the West Bank. Dozens of security forces surrounded and beat Halawa upon his arrival at Junaid prison in Nablus on Tuesday before he was extricated, but he died from his injuries. Fatah and Hamas both condemned the PA for the incident, while a few hundred protesters from al-Najah University clashed with PA security forces as they marched in downtown Nablus.
