Fatah Gunmen Demand Employment in PA Security Forces
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Some 50 gunmen belonging to Fatah's armed wing, the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, raided the offices of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation in Khan Yunis Saturday, demanding that they be employed by the Palestinian Authority security forces - the fourth incident of its kind in Khan Yunis in recent months. The attackers claimed that the governor and senior PA officials had promised to give them jobs as police officers about two months ago. Last Friday, Nablus Mayor Ghassan Shakah resigned after seven years in office, accusing the PA leadership of failing to rein in armed thugs who are terrorizing the public.
