FATAH RECEIVES GUN SHIPMENTS IN W. BANK

Middle East Newsline is reporting that 'moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen's Fatah movement has received shipments of American guns in Judea and Samaria.
The Fatah movement, bolstered by Western aid, has received new shipments of assault rifles and ammunition.

Palestinian sources said Fatah units in the West Bank received thousands of U.S.-origin M-16 assault rifles. They said the rifles were supplied to Fatah units as part of Israeli-approved Western aid to forces loyal to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

"The weapons are meant for PA forces but they end up with Fatah in the war against Hamas," a Palestinian security source said.
And of course, they could be used against Israel. I guess this is all part of the strategy of arming Force 17.
