Lawlessness Under the PA Roof
Posted on | October 21, 2004 |
The Palestinian freedom fighters are at it again. This time they’ve taken over the offices of the Palestinian Authority.
A group of armed militants from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades seized the buildings of the Palestinian finance ministry and Palestinian parliament in the West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday.The militants are demanding that the PA pay monthly salaries and pensions to the children of those Palestinians who were killed during the intifada.
Palestinian sources say the armed men, led by Al-Aqsa Brigades strongman Zakariya Zubeidi, entered the offices in central Jenin and told clerks they had “10 minutes to leave the area.” Later, they voiced their demands. The militant group has often taken over buildings belonging to the Palestinian Authority.
These murdering thugs don’t even respect the laws of their own land. The problem is that the PA is made up of numerous and highly disorganized security apparatuses which are actually in competition and conflict with each other. Each little group is loyal only to its immediate over-lord. Throw into the mix 200 or so terrorist groups and small time petty gangs and the competition for control is quite fierce. There is no control.
