Abbas Names Wanted Murderer as Head of Force 17

'Moderate' 'Palestinian President' ~~Mahmoud Abbas~~ Abu Mazen has named Mahmoud Damra as the head of the elite Force 17 which is Abu Mazen's personal police force.

According to Arutz Sheva:

Damra is a senior Fatah terrorist who led shooting and roadside bomb attacks against Israelis, including the killing of IDF soldiers near Neve Tzuf in 2000 and of an Israeli citizen near Tapuach, in Samaria, the following year. He served under Yasser Arafat in order to escape Israeli arrest.

Some of you may recall that just last week the Olmert-Peretz government agreed to transfer weapons to Force 17.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
