PA Arrests Senior Officer as Hamas Collaborator
[Ynet News] Ali Waked - A colonel in a PA security organization was arrested recently by the PA on suspicion of collaborating with Hamas, a Palestinian source said. A security source said the man's arrest was based on intelligence information passed to the PA by Israel and the U.S. Senior PA officials worry that the man's arrest is merely the tip of the iceberg of unknown collaborators with Hamas. A PA committee appointed to examine Hamas' Gaza takeover in 2007 revealed that almost a third of the Gazan security forces, allegedly belonging to the PA, were actually agents of Hamas. A Palestinian source told Ynet that, in reality, the number of covert Hamas agents was at least double.
