Aksa Martyrs Brigades Demands PA Prime Minister's Removal
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - In yet another sign of growing lawlessness, the armed wing of Fatah, Aksa Martyrs Brigades, on Tuesday threatened to break away from the Fatah faction and become an independent militia unless PA Prime Minister Qurei is fired within two weeks. The group accused Qurei and other Fatah officials of corruption and trading in the blood of "martyrs." "The Aksa Martyrs Brigades carry weapons and resist the occupation while the merchants of Fatah search for new privileges and monopolies to increase their wealth," said a leaflet distributed by Fatah gunmen in Ramallah.
