Fatah Gunmen Seize Bethlehem City Hall
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - At least 15 masked Fatah gunmen armed with rifles and pistols stormed the Bethlehem Municipality building in Manger Square on Tuesday, demanding money and jobs in the PA security forces. Their demands included recruiting more than 320 Fatah militiamen to the security forces, resuming monthly payments to each one of them, and guarantees that Israel would stop pursuing them. The attackers left the building 90 minutes later after receiving assurances from PA Chairman Abbas that their demands would be met. In Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, about 100 Fatah gunmen on Tuesday occupied the local governorate headquarters to demand jobs and money.
