Fatah Gangs Run Rampant Throughout Gaza Strip

(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Al-Azhar University in Gaza City has been shut down after some 20 Fatah gunmen on Wednesday beat university president Dr. Adnan al-Khaldi and forced him to flee. The university administration decided to suspend studies until PA security forces put an end to anarchy. Sources in Gaza City said the attack was apparently in response to the university's decision to expel six Fatah-affiliated students for their involvement in previous cases of violence on campus. A report published by the PA Interior Ministry showing that Fatah's armed wing, Aksa Martyrs Brigades, was involved last August in 20 incidents of lawlessness and Hamas in 18 incidents. On Thursday, a family from Khan Yunis announced that their son Fayez Sawwali, 33, who working for the PA Ministry of Waqf, had been kidnapped and that his captors were demanding a $140,000 ransom. In Kabatya near Jenin, Ala Sabaneh, a policeman who was wanted by Israel, was killed and two others injured in armed clashes between rival Fatah gangs.
