"Palestinian security forces intend to disarm militant factions as part of a plan to prevent attacks on Israelis, a senior Palestinian security official said on Tuesday. Bashir Nafe, commander of Special Forces and tipped as a possible security chief for the West Bank and Gaza, spoke a day after new President Mahmoud Abbas ordered security services to take action to stop violence to help him revive talks with Israel.
"The instructions are clear ... Weapons that don't belong to the Palestinian police are illegal. So wherever illegal weapons are found, we will collect them," Nafe told Reuters."
I'll believe it when the moon falls in my back yard ping!
Poll question: "disarming the militants" will be:
A. a serious effort to end Palestinan terrorism and begin a sincere effort to live in peace with Israel.
B. a phony PR move to fool the Americans, Euros and Israeli left, and give the terrorists time to regroup and get ready for more terrorism.
C. the beginning of the Palestinan Civil War.
????? Militia members are joining the Paliwog security forces for that steady gubbermint paycheck. Some will be moonlighting as terrorists.
