The Duel Over Dahlan
(Jerusalem Post) - Khaled Abu Toameh Muhammad Dahlan, 42, served as commander of the Preventive Security Service in the Gaza Strip from 1995 to 2002. During that time Dahlan detained hundreds of Hamas and Islamic Jihad activists, but his security apparatus also earned a record for human rights abuses and corruption. Dahlan himself is said to have made a fortune since the signing of the Oslo Accords. Dahlan is one of the very few officials who expressed their readiness to crack down on Hamas and unruly, armed elements of Fatah, especially in the Gaza Strip.
