Briton Leads UN Mission to Train Fatah Militia
[Telegraph-UK] Tim Butcher - A former Royal Marine is leading a UN operation to train 250 members of the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Presidential Guard to improve security at the Karni cargo crossing between Gaza and Israel. The project involves training in border management, including search techniques and perimeter security, and is jointly funded by Holland, Canada and Britain. The security plan for the crossing is to include a formidable perimeter wall featuring a steel fence mounted with motion detectors that will pass real-time data to a control room.
