Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades Threaten to Hang PA Men Suspected of Corruption


(Ha'aretz)Arnon Regular - Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades groups in the northern West Bank threatened Tuesday to establish "revolutionary courts" in order to try PA figures and Fatah officials who served under Arafat that are suspected of corruption. The announcement by the group included the names of senior PA figures and those who had held senior positions in the past who were allegedly involved in corrupted dealings, and said: "We are expecting substantive and quick results within one month. If this does not happen, the Brigades will use their rifles to put an end to all expressions of corruption.
