Gunmen Rally at Palestinian PM's Home, Demand Jobs
(Reuters) Dozens of Palestinian gunmen fired in the air as they rallied outside the West Bank holiday home of Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie on Wednesday to demand jobs in the security forces. Qurie was not in his Jericho villa and the gunmen, most of them members of Fatah, left after an hour. Witnesses said the 40-odd gunmen included former members of the Palestinian security forces who want to be reinstated. They also demanded that the PA guarantee their safe passage from Jericho to homes elsewhere in the West Bank.
