Fatah Gang Attacks Arab TV Station
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Five armed men who said they were members of Fatah's Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades attacked the offices of the Saudi-owned, Dubai-based, Al-Arabiya satellite station in Ramallah Saturday night, threatening workers and smashing equipment and furniture. Lina Abu Khalil, one of the workers, said she saw five masked men, three carrying M-16 assault rifles, one a sword, and another a club. "They started destroying everything in the office." Sources in Ramallah said the 24-hour Arabic channel has received numerous threats over the past few weeks from Palestinians who complained that the station's reporting was biased in favor of Israel and the U.S.
