PALESTINIAN GOVT TO CRACK DOWN "COLLABORATORS"

PA Plans to Weed Out "Collaborators" with Israel - Khaled Abu Toameh
The Palestinian Legislative Council's Security Affairs Committee, headed by former Fatah minister Muhammed Dahlan - who has been repeatedly accused of collaborating with Israel and the U.S. - has decided to launch a massive crackdown on "collaborators," PA officials said Monday. The PA already has about 100 suspected "collaborators" in its prisons, including six on death row. At least seven Palestinians have been killed in the past two months in the West Bank by Fatah's Aksa Martyrs Brigades after being accused of collaboration with Israel. (Jerusalem Post)
