Palestinian Gunman Challenges PA Security Minister - Mohammed Ballas (AP/Los Angeles Times)
In a confrontation between Interior Minister Nasser Yousef, the new PA security chief, and Zakariye Zubeydi, a militant who is seen by residents as the ruler of Jenin, Zubeydi Tuesday brazenly fired his weapon outside police headquarters in the West Bank town as the commander was holding meetings in the building. Zubeydi said he was upset that Yousef had not coordinated the meeting with him and demanded the security chief leave. "Nasser Yousef did not come through the proper gate of Jenin," Zubeydi said. Yousef ordered the gunman's arrest, but quickly backed down and let him walk away.
