U.S. Gen. Dayton to Step Down
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff - The U.S. special security coordinator, Lt.-Gen. Keith Dayton, will step down from the post in the fall, Ha'aretz has learned. Dayton is widely credited with equipping and training the Palestinian security forces that have enabled Ramallah to solidify its rule in the West Bank. Though initially scheduled to serve for one year, Dayton has remained in the region for five years. Washington plans to replace Dayton with another general of the same rank.
