PA Security Forces Block Gaza Roads
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Some 50 members of the PA's Military Intelligence Force armed with AK-47 assault rifles on Wednesday blocked main roads and stormed public buildings in the Gaza Strip in protest against the PA's decision to reconstruct the Palestinian security forces. Until recently, most of the PA security forces were being run as private fiefdoms belonging to top security officials. Sources in Gaza City on Wednesday confirmed that former Civil Police Chief Ghazi Jabali had recently left for Jordan. Since Arafat's death last November, several PA officials have fled the territories to avoid facing charges of financial corruption.
