Moussa Arafat Was a Relic of His Uncle's Misrule
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - After the signing of the Oslo Accords, Yasser Arafat appointed his nephew Moussa as commander of the PA Military Intelligence Force. Moussa Arafat's main task was to crack down on opponents and critics of the PA government. Like many of the PA security chiefs, Moussa quickly became notorious for his ruthlessness and involvement in various corruption scandals. Many Palestinians who were arrested by his men later complained that they had been brutally tortured. The only question being asked in Gaza on Wednesday was not who was responsible for the assassination of Gen. Arafat, but who was next in line. "The bad guys are killing one another and that's good for the Palestinian people," commented a respected Palestinian academic in Ramallah. "Let's just hope that they will continue until they're all gone."
