Some Terrorists Disarmed in Jericho, Tulkarm
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - A third of Tulkarm and Jericho residents listed as terror suspects have been disarmed by the PA. However, this is not deemed sufficient, and the failure of the PA to deal with all the armed fugitives in both cities is the reason Israel has stalled handing over additional cities to PA security control, security sources said. They denied Palestinian reports that a deal to hand over Jenin was secured in a meeting between Maj.-Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky and Jamal Abu Zaid, an aide to PA Interior Minister Nasser Youssef, on Tuesday. "The Palestinians must not only disarm all the fugitives in Jericho and Tulkarm, but must take serious steps to curb violence and combat terror," one source said.
