PA CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR 1/4 OF ITS "SECURITY" PERSONNEL

According to the Middle East NewsLine, the PA can’t account for one-quarter of its security personnel:

But legislators said that neither the PA Interior Ministry nor the Finance Ministry could confirm the identities of those on the payroll. They said up to 25 percent of the 60,000 officers were either fictitious or no longer worked for the security forces. PLC Economic Committee chairman Azmi Shueibi said $350 million has been channeled every month to pay the salaries of a reported 60,000 PA security personnel.
