Palestinians: Fatah's Armed Gangs Are Back
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - After keeping a low profile for the past few years, Fatah's armed gangs have resurfaced in the West Bank. Their reappearance means either that the PA is really losing control, or that it is using the gunmen as a means of intimidating donor countries into resuming financial aid to the Palestinian government in the West Bank. In any event, to have Fatah gunmen once again roaming the West Bank proves that the PA's claims to have disbanded and disarmed the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are untrue. The Brigades were responsible for hundreds of armed attacks against Israelis during the second intifada.
