Palestinian Crime Up 50 Percent - Khaled Abu Toameh
The anarchy and lawlessness in the West Bank and Gaza has claimed the lives of 332 Palestinians since the beginning of 2006, a 50 percent increase over the previous year, the Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizens' Rights reported Monday. In 2005, 176 Palestinians were killed in internal disputes and crime, while 93 were killed in 2004. In 2006, 41 murders were politically motivated and 88 were due to clan feuds. 27 Palestinian women were slain by relatives in "honor killings." 33 of those killed were children. The group also documented dozens of assaults on various institutions, including courts, universities and colleges, municipalities, and media organizations. (Jerusalem Post)
